Moz client structure.
-
I am new to MOZ and am curious if each of my clients should have their own MOZ pro account or if I, ( ME the designer & optimizer ) just needs an account and i add each of the clients website to my account?
ie. do i log into 6 different clients MOZ accounts?
or do i personally create a MOZ account and each site is set up as a Campaign?
any advice?
thanks,

Hey Chris,
It definitely makes sense that you would want to comment and post in your own name and you can definitely take over the account, but you must make sure that the client is fully comfortable with that since the client would lose all of the MozPoints that they have earned over time and they most likely wouldn't be able to gain the account back if you add other clients to the account since it is true that we cannot transfer campaigns between accounts. Also, if your client continues to pay for the account and they decide to take the account back, you would lose the data of your other campaigns.
I would recommend having your own master account if you intend to add more clients in the future so that this does not create an issue with the current client's account, but they may be fine with that situation so you would need to work out how you proceed directly with the client.
As for the reports, you can create a custom report that would be emailed directly to your client on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis and those reports will look exactly like the reports that you receive from the custom reports section.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.

My clients have never complained about the reports, in fact they think it is too much if anything.
it is also really customizable in your settings, you can choose what to include and what it should say.
i would not recommend giving your clients access to your account as they then also are able to view your other clients stats.

Thanks Jorgen, i think the master account setup will work best for the future work too - plus i can then build up a profile.
are the reports good enough for clients or is it nicer for them to login to moz? do they see the same info etc?
thanks everyone!

yeah thats what i was thinking - I started out looking into MOZ for a client who has paid for the pro account, however it seems odd as everything i comment on and try and do is set up in his name - i just want to get this figured out as i'm sure transferring campaigns from one account to another is impossible...
Down the road i might have more SEO campaigns but for now its just one client. so 99 / mo is plenty
it seems fairly easy to hijack this account - just to put it into my name for now to keep things simple. eventually i can just change / upgrade the account as i need i suppose.

H,
this is all up to you I guess.
i personally have a "master" account myself with each client requesting SEO as a campaign. There I have setup weekly or bi-weekly reports (based on clients needs) so they recethrill the information they need. I my opinion this is more convenient, but as said it is all up to you. Also with the normal pro version you can only 6 campaigns active.

My first thought would be how many sites & who's paying? For $199 a month you get the Pro Plus subscription with 12 campaigns. So it would be more cost effective to have your one account with 12 campaigns (even if you're only using 6) than to have 6 accounts (costing $594 a month total) with one site on each... Unless your clients want more control over their information and would prefer their own individual accounts that they pay for and give you access to in order to do your work. Have you spoken to your clients to see how they feel about it and what they would prefer?
(Though technically it is against the Terms of Service to to authorize others to use their account, profile, or messages.)

Site down: "high CPU usage is due to the large traffic generated from Moz
My client's site is down and the web host gives says that Moz is the reason why. "The fact that your site was limited is because the traffic generated by Moz. This is why I have suggested to block their IP addresses." Now we have unblocked the IP addresses and as you can see your site was limited again.

Changed to HTTPS: Do I need to update Moz?
Hi Everyone! I have moved my website from HTTP to HTTPS. I believe that I've done everything correctly. Now that I've done that, do I need to update my Moz campaign (and how to do that)? Or, will Moz handle it itself? Or, do I need to create a new campaign with the HTTPS url? Thanks so much!

Moz pricing plans don't make sense
Hey. I posted a question about this on my other Moz account (one I use for moz local), but it appears to have been removed, so here goes again. Can someone from Moz please explain to me why that in your plans, as the price goes up and more campaigns are allowed, the amount of keywords tracked per campaign goes down? $149 plan - 5 campaigns - 450 keywords = 90 keywords per campaign. $249 plan - 25 campaigns - 1100 keywords = 44 keywords per campaign $599 plan - 100 campaigns - 3700 keywords = 37 keywords per campaign What confuses me here with your pricing plans is two fold Modern SEO requires a lot of quality content, interlinked together to rank well (in most cases). Your SEO guides even talk about this. Blogging is one of the most popular ways to do this. However, in any modest website these days, especially one that runs a blog, how does tracking only 37 keywords per campaign make sense? The fact is, that even your starter plan with only 90 per campaign doesn't make sense. My business website is tracking about 300 (that actually drive traffic). I provide my SEO clients with the same type of work I would do for my self, which again reinforces that 37 keywords is plainly pathetic. Every online pricing model I've ever seen follows one simple rule: When price goes up, you get more for your money, not less. At first glance you might think that is what you're getting when you step up a plan and get more campaigns, but then to have less keywords per campaign simply doesn't make sense at all. What does make sense is to have a more flexible pricing model. Instead of locking us into set tiers which don't really make sense, you should allow a more flexible pricing BEFORE we have to go up to enterprise. Why not have a per project price of 'x' price per month, then have a price per keyword or maybe per 100 keywords. This would allow all of us the flexibility to run campaign depths that make sense for us, not for your counterintuitive views of how we should be tracking them. Again, I'd really like a Moz staff person to respond to this as the last time I commented about this, it was removed.

Tracking more competitors with Moz Pro
Hello Moz, I am currently in my free trial period of Moz Pro and am enjoying it very much. However, I would like to be able to track more than just three competitors per campaign. Is this something that is available with an upgrade?
