SEO Moz Rank Report
-
Anyone else noticing the rank reporting seems to be off? My reports are showing "not in top 50" for some keywords that my site is on page one for. Not in places listings either because I know that can throw things off! Anyone?

Perfect
Let me know if there's anything else you need. Have a great day!

Just tried again and got it to work!
Thanks again!

Anytime!
The root domain for you would be comprehensiveobgyn.net. It also sounds like there may have been a temporary server issue at the time you tried to create the campaign. You'll usually only see this message if we get a 5XX response from a sites server when we're trying to validate the address.
I just ran a quick curl and got a 200 ok. I was also able to set up a campaign ok on my end. Can you try to create the campaign one more time for me? If you run into another error, I'll forward this into support so we can take a deeper look at this for you.
Best,
Sam

Hey Scott, nope that wasn't our site. The one I'm talking about is for Comprehensive OBGYN of the Palm Beaches

Hey Sam!
Thanks for the help! My root domain is just "comprehensiveobgyn.net" correct? When I try to enter that, it gives me an error code
Roger has detected a problem:
We have detected that the root domain comprehensiveobgyn.net does not respond to web requests. Using this domain, we will be unable to crawl your site or present accurate SERP information.

Ricky,
Here's a screenshot of what I see when doing a Google search for that keyword you provided: http://scott.offord.me/NgRz
I see that your homepage text is copied from another site (or someone else copied your text):
http://scott.offord.me/Ng5v
http://scott.offord.me/NgRLUnrelated, but if this is your site, I see you still have the hello-world blog post visible to the public. Screenshot: http://scott.offord.me/Nft0

Hi Ricky!
So there are a couple things to discuss here. The main one is that you're campaign is set to track your subdomain, but you have a 301 redirect from your sub to your root domain. You're also ranking on your root domain. This is going to potentially throw off your results since we're looking as how a given keyword is ranking based on the campaign (in this case, sub) domain.
Looking at the search results from Safari set in private browsing for the keyword - west palm beach gynecologist - (I didn't see west palm beach obgyn in the campaign), confirms this as we're showing not in the top 50, but I found your domain in position 7.
Universal results (places, images, videos, etc) shouldn't throw off your rankings either as they're listed separately on the rankings page of your campaigns.
I recommend setting up a new campaign with the root domain in your case. You can archive your existing one to save the historical content in case you ever need to revisit it. Thanks!

For instance "west palm beach obgyn" is one of our keywords. The rank report shows us not in top 50 or in local. However, if you search that keyword you will find our site on page 1

I know you are not talking about maps results, but are there terms you are looking at specificially that have a local/city name in them, or are they non local oriented keywords?

Why did Moz crawl our development site?
In our Moz Pro account we have one campaign set up to track our main domain. This week Moz threw up around 400 new crawl errors, 99% of which were meta noindex issues. What happened was that somehow Moz found the development/staging site and decided to crawl that. I have no idea how it was able to do this - the robots.txt is set to disallow all and there is password protection on the site. It looks like Moz ignored the robots.txt, but I still don't have any idea how it was able to do a crawl - it should have received a 401 Forbidden and not gone any further. How do I a) clean this up without going through and manually ignoring each issue, and b) stop this from happening again? Thanks!

Why is my page ranking lower when my moz stats are higher?
There are several keywords that I search for and I notice we rank lower than a couple of competitors. When I use the mozbar and view the stats, I see that are PA and DA are higher and in some instances the ones who rank higher don't even show all the keywords in their meta descriptions. If this is the case, how are they still ranking higher?

How do I combat title tag issues in Moz because of long company/site name? [Currently using Yoast SEO Plugin]
I've only just started to dip my toe into the SEO pool, so please forgive me if this is a silly question. I've been working heavily in the Moz tool and the Yoast SEO plugin to clean up the meta descriptions on our site, as there were many pages without descriptions in place (we just transferred from a different CMS to Wordpress within the last month or so). Now I'm noticing on our Site Crawl that we have 60+ pages that have title elements that are considered too long. When I go in to fix these issues on our blog posts (as this is where most of the issues lie), Yoast is already giving me the green light on the title lengths. I've discovered that the reason why Moz is telling us that many of our site lengths are too long is because "| Parker Staffing Services" is added to the end of our title tags automatically. Deep breath Now that you've heard all of the backstory... Is there a way that I can prevent that site title (which is 26 characters all by itself! Talk about limiting!) from displaying on search engines when our blog posts or pages show up in search results? I've poked around in the Titles & Metas settings that come with Yoast, but I fear making too many changes will result in me screwing something up. Help an SEO beginner out? 🙂

Universal rankings has made my page not show in rankings any more
We've had a page with a video on it for ages; it always ranks well, generally around no. 5. But I've noticed that it's now ignored in SEMOZ as a page, and only shows as a Universal Result - so it looks as though our top page is no. 22, even thought the video shows as an icon still in the same position, no. 5. That's annoying as I now have to explain to my stakeholders how come our rankings appear to have dropped off a cliff - when i fact they haven't. The page appears in google SERPS exactly as it always has. Can anything be done to make it appear back as it did in SEMOZ? Thanks

Ranking report and language
Unfortunately I noticed a huge problem in rank tracker amd ranking report. My site is in italian and I configurate the ranking report using google italy. The problem is that the ranking is related to www.google.it but using a browser set with english language!! Infact for a specific keyword the ranking position is 8 (using english) and 12 (using italian). This is a huge problem for me and makes useless any report! F

How to change the compare date range on the keyword rankings report?
I'm new to SEO Moz, but not to SEO. I like SEOMoz's keyword rankings, but I also like to show clients improvement (hopefully) from the previous months' ranks. The default appears to be 1-week. How can you show improvement/decline from the previous month?

Moztool and on page ranking matching
How does the Moztool compare and filter the search phrases you enter in your campaign? Or more correctly, will it filter out stop words or is it an exact match? For example I enter a phrase to track that say: "book ski trip austria" Identified in Google I see that most users search for just that "book ski trip austria" But in content, I cant write that as that is uncorrect english and I want to maby write something like: "When you book a ski trip to austria you get..." How will this affect my on page SEO report, will it still match and mark a "V" in done or show a an error? Even more interesting is, what happen if you do phrases in different order like "An austrian skip trip will make you feel..."
