Possible to make domain change?
-
We are planning a domain change -- same site, new domain --
Similar to Google Analytics, can we make that change here in Moz so our stats continue to be tracked?If so...
Will the new domain stats simply 'add' to our present stats? (preferred)
Thanks.

Unfortunately, you'll need to create a new campaign for the new domain. You can keep the old campaign, or archive the old campaign, and keep the historical data that way. Best of luck on the domain change!

CLARIFICATION on my initial request...
I need to know how to a) change our domain name and b) retain our history in MOZ.
Thanks! -
Hey David
The site is growthtrac.com
For marketing -- and potentially SEO -- reasons. Specifically, the current domain has been around 10 years, but the name has nothing to do with our organization. We've owned a similar named domain, which includes the word that describes us. I'd like to change to that domain.
We're pleased with our SERPS-- but when we see crappy sites out-ranking us, I think that may be due to having that 'word' in their domain name. I think we can do better.
Late 2013 we performed a platform (new urls) and host change -- we survived. Much of those practices (i.e. 301 redirects) apply to a domain change. Technically, we can handle it.
Yes, I'm aware of the risk and the 'unknown' value... but it makes sense to us.
Do you have direct experience with specific domain changes?

Unless you have a very good reason for changing your domain name, I would highly advise against it.
Domains have quite a bit of history attached to them. Links, domain age, and other factors contribute to the domains success. If you get rid of it, or even redirect it to your new domain some of that link juice and pagerank will be lost.
Why are you considering changing your domain name?

I have the same domain name that branches out to 4 different locations on my campaigns. Can I combine all 4 of these campaigns into one campaign?
The one domain, documart.com is broken up into 4 campaigns on Moz. I'd like to put all 4 campaigns into one campaign if that is possible.

Why can't the dates be changed in automatic reports?
I want to be able to change the publish date of automatic reports in my campaigns. One such campaign, which is a client campaign, it's set to run on the 8th after I selected "monthly". However, this doesn't work for me as this client want's to meet each month on between the 2nd and 5th of each month and I have to have this report data. So, I need to run this report on the first. Not the 2nd, not every 4 weeks... on the first. It seems like you guys have a fundamental flaw in the design of this tool, as great as it is. You've set the projects to auto run each month from the date it was added (at least from what I can tell). Provided that's true, then this would explain why the monthly reports won't work on my schedule because their on a weekly schedule instead. We, as clients, should be given the option to schedule when our scanning runs, when our reports get generated, etc. Every company runs their SEO and marketing differently, but the away you've set this up with the lack of options for us, forces us to work around your tools scheduling and not the other way around. Also, out of all of the SEO tools I've tried (quite a few), none have had this limitation. This should be addressed immediately. Thanks, Micha

Moz pricing plans don't make sense
Hey. I posted a question about this on my other Moz account (one I use for moz local), but it appears to have been removed, so here goes again. Can someone from Moz please explain to me why that in your plans, as the price goes up and more campaigns are allowed, the amount of keywords tracked per campaign goes down? $149 plan - 5 campaigns - 450 keywords = 90 keywords per campaign. $249 plan - 25 campaigns - 1100 keywords = 44 keywords per campaign $599 plan - 100 campaigns - 3700 keywords = 37 keywords per campaign What confuses me here with your pricing plans is two fold Modern SEO requires a lot of quality content, interlinked together to rank well (in most cases). Your SEO guides even talk about this. Blogging is one of the most popular ways to do this. However, in any modest website these days, especially one that runs a blog, how does tracking only 37 keywords per campaign make sense? The fact is, that even your starter plan with only 90 per campaign doesn't make sense. My business website is tracking about 300 (that actually drive traffic). I provide my SEO clients with the same type of work I would do for my self, which again reinforces that 37 keywords is plainly pathetic. Every online pricing model I've ever seen follows one simple rule: When price goes up, you get more for your money, not less. At first glance you might think that is what you're getting when you step up a plan and get more campaigns, but then to have less keywords per campaign simply doesn't make sense at all. What does make sense is to have a more flexible pricing model. Instead of locking us into set tiers which don't really make sense, you should allow a more flexible pricing BEFORE we have to go up to enterprise. Why not have a per project price of 'x' price per month, then have a price per keyword or maybe per 100 keywords. This would allow all of us the flexibility to run campaign depths that make sense for us, not for your counterintuitive views of how we should be tracking them. Again, I'd really like a Moz staff person to respond to this as the last time I commented about this, it was removed.

Can we get direct live chat or contact information? Response in the community is not helping and making the process really slow
Its been almost half of the month and our account status is still showing not upgraded. Again and again trying to contact moz via forum and waiting for the response is hampering our work. Kindly let us know how to contact via live chat?

Is it possible to split a moz account. We have 5 sites and one has been sold to another company. Can I split that site onto its own new account?

How do I make sure my account doesn't auto-renew
Our account is up for renewal in 10 days, but I want to switch off the auto-renewal. How do I do this? I've tried to resolve the issues we're having with support but am getting nowhere. Was promised an update on Friday but no-one got back to me. These issues have been going on for months. Fed up of paying for something we're no longer getting. I've been recommending Moz for years, but things really seem to have slipped lately. Sorry to air this publicly but my frustration, waiting for replies and not getting what we're paying for are spilling over. A very unhappy paying customer.
