How to get Universal Results to Show in Reports?
-
This has been a source of frustration for me for a long time. I have asked many times and never found anything in the support documentation on how to add this. Is it something that is simply not offered? If so is it not outrageous to others that this simple feature is not present?
What I want: I would like to be able to include Universal Results icons in my rank reports. Why? Well as is the case much of the time my clients Google profile is included in the maps results (thanks to our optimization services) but they are not on the first page. The client can't see the results of this type of SEO. It shows up when logged in but not in the exported reports. How easy would it be to include these? It seems like a no-brainer.
If anyone knows where to add them or why they don't automatically include them please let me know. If this feature is not offered I call upon my fellow SEO's to demand this feature. If anyone knows of a way to contact the developers to recommend adding this feature I would also appreciate that information. Thank you
Universal Result: Local
You're in it!
Position: before 1st natural result
Contains: 7 results -
That sort of helps,However most of our clients prefer the PDF version of the reports. We could send both, but it would require a training course to teach them how to understand the information in the CSV. Is it not possible to add this feature to the PDF version of the reports? When the PDF is generated, just check for the icons, if the icon is present, include it in a table. With very little programming experience I am sure adding this feature would be quite simple. I can't imagine that I'm the first person to ask for this feature. It seems like a low effort modification to the site that would help immensely.
Here is an imaginary situation to put it in perspective for you.
Client A isn't happy because the reports he/she is receiving don't show all the maps results they appear in. We tell them that they are ranking well in maps thanks to the work we have done, but Client A can only search manually to find them or sort through a convoluted CSV to determine where he/she is or isn't. Client A cancels because we are unable to provide adequate reporting at a reasonable cost. We are forced to develop our own program to parse CSV's into a visual report at a great cost to ourselves and our clients. This development is not shared with the rest of the Moz community who are left to deal with the same issue on their own.

Hey there,
Thanks for the post. We do actually show if you're in the Universal Results in the reports. When you export your CSV you can see a column labeled something like this:
Google US en Verticals
Or whatever your specific search engine would be. That column would say something like "image" or "video" or some combination of other verticals. In the next column is the Verticals Position. Then next to that is a True/False field that will report False if you're not in that vertical and True if you are.
I hope that helps you convey your efforts to you clients a little more easily. The universal results are always tricky because they don't have an actual organic numerical placement.
Cheers,
Joel

Duplicate Home Page in Moz Report
I recently ran a crawl report in MOZ for www.laddersfree.co.uk and it has picked duplicate pages for my home page. The two pages are www.laddersfree.co.uk and www.laddersfree.co.uk The CMS System my developer is using is Concrete5. If you look at the source code there is a Canonical <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="http://www.laddersfree.co.uk/" /> I am very confused as to why there are two pages picked up in the crawl. Can someone offer any advice please? Thank you. Jason

Internal Links Count in Crawl Report
My understanding of the 'Internal Links' results in a moz crawl report is that it represents the number of links on the given page that link to other pages on the same site.Assuming this is a correct assumption: We recently ran a crawl report on www.phase1tech.com. Some of the pages are coming back with a large amount of 'internal links'. These 2 pages for example are showing 800 internal links: http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events
Moz Bar | | AISEO
http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact Then there are a number of pages coming back with 705 Internal Links, including: http://www.phase1tech.com/Dalsa-CameraLink-Cameras
http://www.phase1tech.com/Hitachi-CameraLink-Cameras At best there are approximately 70-80 links on these pages. Where are these large counts coming from? Is there a means to see what the links being reported on are? At the same time the 'Too Many On-Page Links' indicates 'No' for some pages with a high number of links, and 'Yes' for pages with a low number of links. For example: http://www.phase1tech.com/Baumer-SX-Series
Too Many On-Page Links: Yes
Internal Links: 2

Does anyone have a good article or video on how to read the SEO MOZ crawl report column by column?
I am trying to find a good how-to on how to read and analyze each column of the SEO MOZ crawl report, specifically, the excel sheet it allows you to export. What I'm really trying to get to the bottom of is what the "Yes" indiciates under rel-cononical. If it says "yes," does this mean that the link in question has been canonoicalized?

Keyword Difficulty, can I change local and global search volume results from Bing to Google?
Under the Keyword Difficulty tool among the information provided to you when you complete a search is a local and global search volume. Above those numbers it says "Bing Search Volume (Exact Match)" is there any way to change this from Bing to Google? Or do I not understand what exact information they are giving me here?
