When using Moz Pro do I want Google-UK or -GB as default and why?
-
Hi.
When using Moz Pro, I always select Google UK as default search with GB and US next.
Is there a reason to choose one over the other? If so why?
I am UK based and so are my clients.
Thanks

In seminar it has been confirmed that Google GB and UK are the same and are there for historical customers.

Hi,
It is now 3 years since this post but en-UK and en-GB are still in the dropdown menus. I have selected en-UK for Google, Google Mobile and Yahoo BUT Bing only gives en-GB as option.
I assume it is ok but could someone confirm?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Pam

Hi there! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for reaching out, and I appologize for the confusion. This came to our attention back in May, and one of our Product Managers wrote an answer to another Q&A about it as well. Basically both Google GB and Google UK map to google.co.uk, and this is just a funny bug on our end. When you create your campaign choose google.co.uk .
I hope this helps, and let us know if you have any other questions!
Cheers,
Erin

You also forgot some of the smaller islands around England like new jersey - I would assume the same thing that UK is a larger area than GB
-
Well there is no google.gb !. I'm in N.Ireland so out side GB but in UK, as my search results are full of GB only stuff unless it local results ( very frustrating), so that made me assume google doesn't differentiate between GB and UK in its search results, buy maybe I'm wrong.
I think a Moz staff member is going to have to clear this up for us.

GB is just England, Wales and Scottland.
UK also includes parts of Northern Ireland as well as all of GB.I imagine there wouldn't be much difference in those results, however I'm just a yank.
-
The GB has been there since I have been a member (over 12 months).
I assumed the same thats why I select -UK.
Nothing major, some slight differences in rank but if they are just the same or not needed I will select a different search instead of GB.
-
I have never noticed GB before, so I wonder if its a new thing. I assumed "UK" was google.co.uk so I'm not sure what difference GB is ( according to google, not geographically).
Do you notice any difference between UK an GB rank results?

Simply Report for new requests with Moz Pro Plus
Hi all I'd like to know how can I construct a brief report to send to my potential customers when they first write me asking for general informations and evaluation about their websites and certain keywords for which they want to have a great rank. I'd like to reply them with a short email, with a basic report attached, in which showing them some little details about their (and eventually their competitors) ranking and/or their website situation. It's just a brief professional introduction to our seo and web marketing services. Now I'm doing it manually or with other seo tools, but I have just bought a Moz Pro Plus annually version and I'd like to use Moz for this activity. For example, when I first insert a new campaign, I don't see ranking for days so I can't send rankinh report. Do you have any advice? Thanks.

SEO Moz analysing US site when I want it to analyse UK site
Hi there, I am trying to analyse the UK version of my website. However as the website is set to redirect people to the most relevant site and SEO Moz is based in the US, it is redirecting all the pages your crawling and therefore analysing US pages. So I am trying to look at the UK homepage but all the factors relate to the US site... Is there a way around this?? Thanks

Does SEOMOZ use Google Search?
I run a Joomla site and have noticed users having a hard time finding what they are looking for. The default Joomla search is lacking and the latest Joomla search component I added is better but still not great. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for on SeoMoz, do you guys use Google Site Search?

Which Google API do you use to creat a rank checking tool?
I can't seem to work this one out. Basically I want to make a very simple rank checker tool something similar to http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ranking-reports/ where a user simply type in a domain and a keyword and in return is shown the position within the results. The problem is I can’t work out which API's I need in order to build it, does anyone know what I need to poke about with? It must work with Google and ideally with Bing and the rest
