Clarify "broad keyword usage in page title"
-
Hello
Page grader has two different grades for page title that I want clarification on.
There is "Broad Keyword Usage in Page Title" and "Exact Keyword Usage in Page Title".
Googling around about and searching here I have found that "broad" seems to mean the keywords should be used throughout the page, rather than just in the title and header. Which makes sense as this is a kind of check to ensure the page IS about the keywords and not something unrelated.
But what is meant by "broad" usage in the page title? This refers specifically to the page title and not the whole document.
My best guess got me to this, given the keyword "Visit London Today";
- "Come and visit London today" - exact match only
- "London - visit today" - broad match only
- "Visit London the city of dreams | visit London today" - matches both
That could be complete nonsense, but basically is broad usage the use of keywords scattered in the page title?
Thanks.

Hey Jake
That is correct as i understand it
That broad match in title is: keywords in any word order
and exact match is: keywords in the exact order of the target keyword
Hope that helps ?
All Best

Page Optimization Error
Hello.
Moz Bar | | csgosmurfcart
When I try to use 'On Page Grader' on specific site, I get an error message. "
Page Optimization Error
There was a problem loading this page. Please make sure the page is loading properly and that our user-agent, rogerbot, is not blocked from accessing this page.
"
example : https://www.csgosmurfkart.com Site's robots.txt settings are good. and I think there's no blocking factor. But On Page Grader cannot crawl the sites.
But campaign crawler is working well on the site. only On Page Grader is not working.. What should I change my server's setting or site's setting for crawling site on my site?
I'm using wordpress on google cloud Thank you.0 -
Keyword Explorer - Unable to complete searches for data?
Hey guys, I'm in the process of completing some keyword research using Keyword Explorer but every time I complete a search I'm told that explorer is unable to perform the search at this time and that I should refresh the page, or search with a new query. Is anyone else having this issue/had this problem in the past?

On-page Grader API?
Hi guys, I have a massive list of keywords i want to optimise against a specific URL. I'm checking them manually with the MOZ on-page grader to determine if the keyword is optimised for the URL (Grade A score). I was wondering if there is a way to pull the scores automatically for each URL with the MOZ api? Or does anyone know of any tools which can automate this process? Cheers, Chris

Comparing Competitor On-Page Grades?
When I run an advanced SERP report or even the basic keyword difficultly report it gives me competitor On-page grades. I can look directly at their code, but I'm wondering if there is a way to easily see and export a .csv or excel file of the on-page ranking factors for the top 1-10 results comparing them to a page on my site? Seems like that would be really helpful and much quicker than looking at source code to understand what on-page factors are contributing to their success. Is there any way to do this in Moz or a free tool elsewhere you would suggest?
