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?

Unsolved How Does MOZ Pro Help An E-Commerce Site Gain Rankings?
Added Maximum keywords on Moz Pro - Updated our SERP and optimized metas for all our products on Bookscardsnbikes. We are sorting out bad backlinks - and have google ads + and boosting our seo. And yet - no traffic or customers [minimal] Have been a business for one year. In short: can you take a look at our moz [Site Audit] and explain what we're missing to get our company off of the ground. We are more than okay with criticism - it helps us grow. Our layout and site design is completely fine and what we want. But we think its just a matter of being a new site that we aren't getting the amount of business we COULD have. Is the 200$ a month worth it? What is moz doing to help us grow? Best. Bookscardsnbikes

Moz Spam Analysis vs. GWMT Links to Your Site
Hi Moz Community, I have been conducting some link auditing and started comparing the Moz Spam Analysis tool with the links provided in Google WMT. It appears that the Moz Spam Analysis tools shows an aggregate of links that Moz may or may not consider spam, however when you download and look at Google's "Links to Your Site" list it provides every link iteration known to man that's pointing to the target website - without providing any hints as to whether or not a link may be considered spam by Google. The biggest concern I have here is that Google is picking up a lot of links, which I consider spam, that do not appear in the Moz Spam Analysis results. I guess the question(s) I have are: Does it make sense to compare these two data sets? Has anyone else tried this comparison and how did you use the information to make positive changes? Any recommendations when it comes to determining if an external link is spam/hurting/helping a website? Thank you!

Ignore Moz Notices?
Hi All, I read an old post (2011) about ignoring rel canonical notices from Moz. I wondered why they can be ignored? The thing is, it's showing a bunch of rel canonical errors for my pages but I know I have the tag right. At the risk of being offensive.. can the notices be ignored because the Moz data is erroneous? I'm not sure what to make of this. Thanks!

Rankings confusion in pro campaign
Hello Moz-world! I recently set up a new campaign, and the crawl is still in the process of wrapping up (been 4 days). When I look at my rankings it tells me "not in the top 50" then when I scroll over, it shows me that my client is ranking in position 3, in the instance of one keyword. Anyone know why there is a discrepancy between what the report shows, and what it shows when you mouse over the rankings? Thanks! Tyler

MOZ Crawler only crawling one page per campaign
We set up some new campaigns, and now for the last two weekly crawls, the crawler is only accessing one page per campaign. Any ideas why this is happening? PS - two weeks back we did "upgrade" the account. Could this have been an issue?
