On page SEO Report Sucks
-
Hey. I'm trying to get a PDF of the on page report so I can see a list of each issue. This works well if you're logged in and just navigate through the different tabs, but not so well if you export. All I get is an overview of the number of the priority issues, but not the URLs and the specific problems.
I know you can export a CVS, but that's not a very good branded way to export this.
What I'd like to do is export a report that is fairly gainular so I can provide "before and after" reports for work we completed. As is stands now, I have an overview PDF which sucks and can't provide any more details or a CVS which has all the details in the world, but is so in depth it's hard to navigate, especially for clients who don't know what they're looking at, not to mention it's not branded!!!
There should be way more options for reporting here. Please let me know if you can do something about this or if I'm just missing something. Thanks.

Hi Micha
From the support side we can't do much on our end but our product team does have a forum we encourage posting on to submit ideas and feature requests. The link to the forum is here: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
This is the only way for us to prioritize and plan enhancements and feature requests outside of bugs so definitely submit your suggestions there.
Hope this helps!

Completely understand.
If you are looking to send reports with a general summary, Moz, Quicksprout and GWT are the three that we use. Most of our clients get overwhelmed if we send a mass of reports their way. You should also include the exports from Anlaytics.

Hey David. Thanks for that, but I am aware of this. I'm mainly looking for better reporting just to help the labor side of reporting to clients.

When editing your on page seo to get a better score, keep in mind that these are only tools to guide people in the right direction. I have seen suggestions within the MOZ tools that would actually hurt the overall value of the page, in order to get a better seo score.

The auto campaigns don't have any additional options that what I've already discussed, at least not for on page SEO reporting.
Yes, the auto reports are nice, but they don't add more data than is already available in the system. What I'm talking about it adding a more granular level of reporting to this module.
Yes, you're right that I can use the single URL report tool and gain a lot of insight into that specific URL. I don't feel like doing that one at a time for clients that have sites over 100 pages. That's what tools are for.
Thanks though.

Custom Report Tab.
Top right corner next to Campaign Settings under your profile picture. You can make the report you need to make.
Not only that but you can also take the individual URL that is having an issue, plug it into the domain audit tool and analyze that individual page and report just that page. That will be a clear concise audit of just that URL.

I have assigned a Moz Pro seat to someone but they can't access a campaign's rankings report?
Hi there, I'm the account admin on a Moz Pro account. I have assigned a seat to a freelancer who's doing some work for me and they say they can't access a campaign's rankings report? The manage user's section shows them as having a seat license? It's been issued and accepted by them? Any ideas here? Thanks

On Page Optimization and Page Grader in Moz Needs Some Fixes
Okay, so I've brought this up a couple times to your team and have always been met with resistance and confusion, but I really feel like the fundamental design of your on page grader (the auto one) needs some changes in order to be really useful. Let's start with the basics. An on page grader is supposed to be a tool where you can enter your keyword or keywords and have it scan the URL to see how well the keyword has been implemented on the page. It checks for heading use, anchor text, alt tags, frequency of use, etc. We all should get this if we are here. Now, your manual page grader does just that and does a great job of it. I find it very useful for checking newly created pages, landing pages, competitor pages and the like. However, your auto version found in the Search > On-Page Optimizations is the culprit here. So, according to several staff at Moz, this tool scans your site every week when the rest of your site scan is done. It then takes the rankings of pages for ranked and tracked keywords and assigns a grade for that page. Here's the major problem.... in almost all of my accounts, it very rarely gets the association with keyword and URL correct. Thus, it returns a low page grade even though the grade of the URL would be an A or B for the correct keyword. What seems to be happening is I'm tracking multiple keywords, sometime close variations. This grade tool in a lot of cases is grading a page more than once for several keywords it's ranking for. All the variants it gets a low grade for because the exact keywords isn't in the title, headings, etc. The second thing that seems to be happening is some pages are not being graded using the primary keyword, but instead a variation. In this case it only shows low grades for the page. On one occurrence of trying to discuss this issue with you, I got scoffed at for saying the tool was "guessing at which keyword to use for the grade". Your staff was very adamant in saying "it's not a guess!" My counter point was, call it what you want, it's in accurate to the intended keyword to be optimized for. Now, when one first gets to this tool, all of the above doesn't seem like that big of a deal because there's an "add & manage page grade" section. This section allows you to add and manage page grades. So, one would think that you could go to this tool, add an page grades for keywords that the tool didn't automatically associate and delete ones that it added with an incorrect association and that would be the end of it. However, that's NOT quite the end of it. At your own admission, the tool doesn't function like that. Each week when a new scan is completed, these pages grades essentially reset. So any page grade that you deleted will simply show right back up again. Now, before I go any further, let me explain why this is such an issue for me. First, on page optimization is something my company does and sells as a service and we are pretty good at it. Not saying we're the best, but we're better than most. That said, one of my reasons for choosing Moz was because according to the verbiage on the pages, one can create branded reports to include on page optimization. However, when the tool doesn't get the right keyword to landing page AND there's no way to manually override it, then basically all of my reports make it look like my pages grades suck, when in face they don't. Now, if in my campaigns I only added the exact keyword for each page and didn't do any variations of, then this tools becomes much more accurate. However, I want to track multiple variations. Bottom line is this: I need a page grading and reporting tool I can count on and actually use. Thus far, you solution is riddled with problems and every time I bring it up, you fight me on it saying it's working as it's supposed to. What I'm saying here is "as it's supposed to" is fundamentally wrong. I'd like to discuss this with someone at this point, and preferably someone a bit higher up than a first tier support person because frankly, I'm not getting anywhere. Overall I love your service, but it's things like this that have me questioning wether or not Moz is right. I'm giving you opportunity after opportunity to prove to me that it is. Help me work this out so we can continue that trend. Thanks, Micha
