Getting started with moz
-
Hi
i use to be a user of SEO moz before the change to just Moz, however i am struggling to navigate around and work on campaigns.
I need to know what steps to take methodically from setting up a campaign, keyword research, competitors and monitoring SERPs results. in addition improving the page grade reports and analysing keyword difficulty.
Whilst Moz assist you to set up some of this initially when creating the campaign i feel it doesn't seem to take you through a logical methodical step process of configuring in depth the steps of ensuring the correct settings are relevant to the campaign i.e. an outline of the steps and i need to take that follow on from each other and getting your campaign completed.
for example:
- create campaign
- keyword research
- onpage optimisation
- competitor research
- link finder analyser
- run reports that related to the info provided above
I feel lost in the features of moz whilst i can see they are highly beneficial putting them to use in a chronological order to ensure the the correct setup and make use of these tools. i.e. where to start and where to end currently i feel i can only find where to start and what i should do after that to make use of Moz fully is somewhat missing.
Thanks in advance, any links and direct appreciated, i would alsolike to possible speak to a Moz team member regarding my account setup if possible.

Hi Darren!
We do have walkthroughs that can help guide you through your setup at the link Keszi provided. We also have a live welcome webinar hosted by our Success Team each week. You can register here: http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started/welcome-webinar
As far as correct settings go, we can only verify your campaign URL is setup the way you want it to, the other settings will be up to you to confirm.
For example if you want to track all pages within a domain, then setup a root domain URL as domain.com, this will track all pages and sub-folders for the entire site.
If you only want to track the root domain, or only a sub-domain or sub-folder. Then you would check the box in the advanced settings to "exclude all sub-domains" and you would put www.domain.com or www.domain.com/folder/
This means we would only look for rankings for that specific URL.
For competitors, we can only track the specific URL set. If they appear on Google as www.domain.com, then make sure to add them with the sub-domain.
I highly recommend signing up for the webinar as it is the only way we can provide live walkthroughs of our tools. Hopefully the other resources can help as well!

Moz only crawling one page of a campaign, please help
Today I set up a new campaign for a client, however the crawl has only found the home page and is saying that the URL is unavailable. The site is definitely live and the URL is correct. I have set up the campaign 3 times one with the full address (http://www.) one with www. and with just the domain name. All three of these have come page with one page crawled and "unavailable" above the URL. It is picking up the crawl issues on the page and showing domain authority but I don't know why it's not crawling other pages. Prior to setting up the campaign I did a site crawl and Moz found everything then, so I don't know why it isn't now. Please help. 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?

Fastest way to set up Moz to produce a list of easy-to-rank for keyword opps
I've used Hubspot's keyword tool previous to MOZ, and I know that they import data generated from MOZ into their tool... but I find it a much more convoluted process using Moz's more robust system. ALL I want is to dump in a long list of keyword possibilities, then see where we can easily rank for these terms, especially against our local competitors. How do I set this up???? It's not as self-explanitory as Hubspot! Thanks!!!

How long does it usually take Moz to populate information for a new Web site?
We recently launched (9/13/2013) an e-commerce Website and added the campaign to SEO MOZ. Week after week the Domain Rank is 1 and none of our keyword stats or link stats are populated. We have another Moz campaign that posts weekly updates and is doing extremely well. I'm just wondering how long it usually takes Moz to start populating all the analysis stats? I'm also wondering if there might be a campaign setting buried somewhere that I need to enable or maybe it just takes more than 5 weeks? Any insights would be much appreciated. Here's the new URL we need to track with MOZ: http://www.imsportshq.com

Moz Analytics - Reports
In the guide video (http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started) a report button is show. However, I cannot see this button in Moz Analytics. I'm assuming this is due to the tool being in beta?
