I don't believe moz is seeing everything that is on my webpage
-
I used the page key word grader and got an "F" Moz said that my keyword employee handbook was not in my title nor was it found in the body of my page. But when I look at the page and double check everything it is there all over the place.
I am not blaming moz this is a wiz site and while I am a beginner and very well could be wrong could anyone just take a look and tell me if I am nuts or what. The web page is http://www.cestoday.com/#!employee-handbook/co0h I now have the font so big I will have to fix that.
Thank you

If you're using Wix.com, and they use AJAX... here's what you can do to verify google is scraping your site properly.
- go to google.com and simply type "site:yourURL.com"... no spaces between the colon and your site name. This will return Google's index of your site, and then you can look at the cached pages to ensure they're seeing what they should.
- Wix posted about this, and they provide both the needed AJAX (end user) option and the HTML (google crawler option) properly.. here's their blog from 2015 addressing this (see #4) https://www.wix.com/blog/2015/04/myth-busting-10-interesting-facts-about-wix-seo/
- if you're using Wix.com... or other website builder tools... make sure to submit your sitemap to the Google Search Console, this should also help.

Here's some help from Google regarding, "making ajax applications crawlable"
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more -
Erin is there an ETA on when the Moz crawler might be able to handle ajax sites as Google does (https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification)?

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for jumping in Fredrik and LinkAssistant! Fredrik is correct, our tool has a hard time getting through any AJAX, which is why we're not picking up your keyword.
If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot us an email at help@moz.com!
Cheers,
Erin

1. You're right - MOZ tools cannot handle your pages correctly, most probably because of AJAX.
2. Google can see your page and does see it (to some extent) - go check https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Your+Employee+Handbook+Is+Your+First+Defense%22 to make sure it can see your headings and somr text including the keywords you specified. On the other hand, go check Google's cache to see it can see only a part of the content you've got on that page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.cestoday.com/%23!employee-handook/co0h, which most probably means you'll have to move from WIX (which you're using right now if I'm not mistaken) to some other website engine as this one is definitely not the best one for SEO.

Hi
I got good news and I got bad news for you:
Good news: your not nuts. The text is visually there.
Bad news: the text is actually not in the original source code since its loaded with AJAX.An easy way to check this is to do a view source on the page. Dependent on browser the function is in different places but in Google Chrome its under View -> Developer -> View source. When your seeing the source code try to do a search and you see that the word "handbook" is not there.
So what does this mean: 1. It means that the moz tool can not handle this AJAX way of making the page. 2. It could also mean that Google can not index the site.
Good look forward
Fredrik

Why does Moz only seem to be crawling a snap shot of the site I am working with?
I was wondering if anyone can help? I am working using Moz to help improve the SEO on a website I am working with, the website contains thousands of pages, yet for some reason Moz only seems to be crawling a small snap shot of the website. I know there are particular pages that I had added a couple of weeks ago - about 300 in total - and none of these were showing on the first crawl, so I did another on-demand crawl and some of these showed up then. Despite this, it says it crawled 700ish pages, but there are getting close to 20-30ish thousand live pages on the site. Any thoughts and guidance as to why they crawling may be stopping?

Why does the moz bar link count differ from the moz link analysis page
Hi all, Why does the Moz Bar show a different link count from the Moz link analysis page? For example, when I check the SERP below, for the first result, the bar shows 936 page links from 4 RDs. But when I check out the link analysis page, it tells me there are just 141 page links from 4 RDs. What gives? For the second entry, the bar shows 6 page links from 0 RDs. Not sure how that's possible. Can anyone explain these things. Thanks!

Why does the MOZ bar not work on SERPs with site links?
Maybe a dumb question (am a beginner), but MOZ bar shows no information on SERP results with site links? I'm sure there's a reason? What is it?

How to have MOZ site crawl pre-launch
Hi, Our new website is about to launch. We would love to have moz.com SITE CRAWL our site before launch. For issues like "missing meta description" and everything else that moz.com checks. We would love to do it before we launch. The new site is currently on a different domain than our live site. example.com <-- this is our live site. new-site.com <-- this is our "staging" server with the new site. We have a long running campaign for example.com Do we need to create a new campain for new-site.com ? Or is there some other simpler way? When we launch we will switch the site from new-site.com to example.com .. example.com will be the address for the new site.. Any ideas or suggestions? best practices? edit Forgot to say thank you for your help and input 🙂

Why isn't my Campaign Data updating?
I am new to Moz and my campaigns haven't been updating. I got the initial data, but I haven't received any new data since then. I think that I set up the account on the 23rd of July. My reports show that info, but nothing else. I have checked the dropdown for this last week and it is empty. I have done a lot of work and want to see if there has been any change. Help! FyBaH8B

Why Moz New Users Are Left Alone?
New users when sign up to an application like Moz need concrete support to make them familiarized the basics at least, but Moz seems to be not realizing this hardship of the new users or intentionally ignoring it. There is no chat service or phone numbers to quickly contact the designated agent for some quick help. Mail responses that are received after much time have their limitations -- not much interactive. What the new users should do, because the Moz is not that simple for new users. [edited question for formatting]
