Moz client structure.

[EarGear]

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,
Chris

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?
