When connecting your Google Analytics account to your Moz account, Moz provides a drop-down of accounts & UA codes to select from. Where is Moz pulling those selection options from?
-
The list of Google Analytics accounts and UA codes listed are outdated. How can I update them to reflect the most up-to-date accounts (& UA codes associated with those accounts)?

Thanks, Joel.
So it looks like the solution is I need to use the same email address in Moz that is associated with our new GA accounts....in order to deliver the correct GA accounts through GA's API.
Can I just change my email associated with my Moz account in the Login Settings to allow the correct GA accounts to feed into Moz?
Or do I have to shut down this account and reinstate my Moz account with the universal email address that has our new GA accounts?
What's the best next step here? Thanks for your guidance.

Hey there,
Thanks for the question! The drop downs when selecting your GA profile and tracking code are actually populated from Google Analytics. We wouldn't have any way of displaying old information so anything you see is what's currently delivered via GA's API.
It's possible that you have some old profiles in your GA that need to be deprecated or that Google's API has stale data in it. It's hard to say since that menu is reliant on them to send those listings.
I hope that answers your question.
Cheers,
Joel. -
Thanks for your response, RobertFisher.
The Moz account wasn't (& currently isn't) linked to our Master account that manages our Google Analytics & AdWords accounts. That may be the problem...and is what I asked Moz's Help Team in a private message.
The Google Analytics selections in Moz are not input fields...only selections in a drop-down, unfortunately. Early April 2014, we updated all our UA codes for our clients in Google Analytics...making the Account & UA code selection options in Moz outdated. We did this in order to link GA with our AdWords account. We haven't deleted our old client UA codes yet as the historical data (within the last yr) is still relevant to review, compare & analyze.
When I click "Select Another GA Account"...it links to another page that says
This app would like to:
--- have offline access | cancel | accept | (buttons)
If I end up needing to match my Moz account's email address with our Google Analytics Master account email address...is the change as easy as updating my Login Settings & Community Profile? Or is there more to it than that?

Hello Search Party
In your GA accounts have you gotten rid of the old and do you have the new in it?
We have master accounts and Moz is linked to our master. I do not remember when in the process I gave that access as I have been on Moz close to 5 years. I do know that every account and sub account are available to me via the dropdowns. Also, there is a button below the dropdowns when you are inputting the data for Select Another GA Account.
I would suggest clicking that and then providing the access.I hope this helps you out.

Can Moz Monitor a JS Site?
We are building a new site that, on the blog landing page, uses JS to populate the individual blog article links on the page. The links are not viewable in the page source, but do appear once the page fully renders. After running an on-demand crawl of the site (in QA...not indexed yet), it appears that Moz isn't indexing these pages, and it also isn't reading other page elements that load later (like an H1 that is rendered in JS but not in page source). Are we going to be able to use Moz to track this site? Is there some setting to help?

Newbie question: 5 ways to get the most from Moz
Hi there, I'm new to Moz. I work for a furniture retailer and I'm in the process of auditing our digital presence and improving how we appear on Google and therefore to our customers. I am working on our website's content and SEO, Google Local Listing, getting our products added to Google Shopping and updating our social media accounts, removing old accounts and improving current ones. I'd like to know how to make the most of Moz. I have set our site up in Moz Pro but I'm unsure where to go next, so I was wondering if you'd be able to offer 5 tips on where to really get started. Thank you.

Clarifications on the Moz Analytics package (Medium - $149 per month)
What are the Moz tools available with this package? What factors of SEO can be checked with these tools? With this package, is it possible to provide a single URL (preferably home page) and Moz will analyse the entire site and highlight how the site performs wrt various SEO factors? This package states that with this package we can run 10 Moz Analytics campaigns. Our understanding of Moz Analytics Campaign is every site; say www.test.com is one analytics campaign. Are we correct? Does the subdomains within a parent domain also considered as one analytics campaign. For e.g., if I have sites: www.mydomain.com and www.xxx.mydomain.com are they considered two separate campaigns or are they considered as one single campaign? In this package it is listed as 750 keywords, what does this signify? In what way this feature can be used to check our site’s SEO compliance. Please elaborate. In this package it is listed as 15 social accounts, what does this signify? In what way this feature can be used to check our site’s SEO compliance. Please elaborate. What do you mean by branded reports?
