What is the best tool to track US positions from the UK?
-
We are currently tracking the rankings of a US-based client (we are UK-based) and it appears we are seeing some considerable differences in positions.
To check ranks we often use Fat Rank which can be set to a US-based search and a manual search on Google.com. However, our American client is receiving different results (actually higher positions than we have recorded!) and is claiming to have used both a manual check on Google.com and the following tool.
http://smallseotools.com/keyword-position/Would anybody be able to tell me how accurate this tool is regarding US-based positions?
We’ve since made use of the tool too and it adheres to the rankings that the US-based client is claiming – rather than our checks using Fat Rank and Google.com. -
I agree with Jesse you are already a Pro member and the ability to track keywords in the SERPS comes with your complete package.
I would use
http://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker
or
This is a fantastic tool it allows you to check almost every country on the map except for North Korea and even get as granular as by zip code
This link will take you to the free check however you will have to enter it manually and you must sign up for the trial and then pay for the software after 30 days to continue tracking rankings all over the world.
https://serps.com/tools/rank_checker this is free
You can also use the trial versions and keep in mind you must pay after 30 days both of the tools here
https://serps.com/
http://authoritylabs.com/
can give you the zip code level searching. I utilize Moz, SERPS & AuthorityLabs I find it very comforting to have that ability and honestly most of it was from interest in which was better at what and what made them different. I would recommend connecting Google analytics to all of them
The only time I would not use Moz is an extremely rare occasion where local matters a lot for instance you want the zip code of whatever country or state has the answer you're looking for lies in whatever countries Providence, broken into zip code via state or ProvidenceI would then consider using
SERPS.com they have a free tool as well that will allow you to check your zip code rankings in any country for free however you must sign up and use the trial than pay if you wish to track them.
I also agree search metrics & sistrix are outstanding tools and unfortunately is not free but will do the job as well.
Great answers everyone.
Sincerely,
Thomas -
searchmetrics & sistrix are international tracking tools used in Germany... but not for free
-
Well... I'd use the Moz Rank Tracker but that may be too obvious seeing as how we're on the Moz forums and all. But just in case: http://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker

What do you do when there is significant movement when checking a Ranking & Algorithm tracking tool?
I've checked various Ranking & Algorithm tracking tools (SEMrush, Mozcast etc.) and since 12th Jan 18 there has been a lot of 'turbulence' in terms predicted Google algorithm changes. This has been 'high' for the past 2 weeks. Question is, would you 'hang tight and ride the wave' or 'act fast'? Our actual rankings haven't really been affected positively or negatively - so I'm thinking I should just ride the wave to see what happens but keep a close eye on the rankings?

Keyword explorer tool - keywords by domain functionality
Hi, We have issues with the new searching for keywords by root domain functionality in keyword explorer. We are based in Australia and need rankings for google.com.au, which is what we have set up within our MOZ campaign ranking reports. The explorer tool rankings are way off and not accurate for our site's actual rankings. Also, many of the top, high volume keywords that we are tracking and for which we rank on first page for are not even appearing when I do an explorer search using our root domain. Is the root domain functionality within keyword explorer providing results based on google.com rather than google.com.au? Does this mean that if we are outside the US that we can't use the tool as it is not accurate? Cheers, Damien

Not in Top 50 - But actually in 3rd position
I created a new campaign with Moz on 7th Sep 2014. To date (17th) the Keyword reports says that all the keywords are not in Top 50. But in many of the keywords our site is in first page. If Moz has not crawled the site yet? PS: I have another campaign running with same set of (but few) keywords which shows perfectly for months. Any advise?

Conversion tracking within Moz reports?
Hey guys, Quick question and apologies if this has been asked before, but is there an option within MOZ reporting (Pro) that allows you to focus on conversions for your clients? I'm finding rankings to be a very poor indicator of success. I'd much rather focus on conversions, and present this information to the client within my reports. Thanks

Site Crawler Tool by the Company Formerly Known As SEOMoz
Moz had a tool I used that would crawl my site and send me a report of all pages, all errors, 301s 404s 505s, and a whole plethora of stuff. I used it to fix pesky errors quite a bit. Does this still exist? Was it replaced or am I just not finding it in the new design?
