Image alt tag
-
Just started using SEO Moz. I entered an alt tag for a featured image on a wordpress website, however, When I conduct a page grade, SEO Moz still indicates that there is not an image alt tag. Any suggestions?
-
For the key words to be recognized, I have to input the image in the text editor section as opposed to using the Set Featured Image in wordpress.
Thanks for your feedback.

Just to add if you're lazy you can also use screaming frog which will pick up any missing alt tags.

Hi,
Have you checked the source code to see it the alt tag is actually there?
ie in firefox/chrome > right click > view page source
Looking for something like:
If it is there then perhaps you need to wait for Moz to re crawl the site, if not and it's definitely on the image alt in wordpress media then you may need to look at your theme. Establish if the theme utilises the alt element and if not then you may need to add it yourself (via a child theme preferably)

When setting up a new campaign for a client should I add keywords
I'm new to Moz and SEO. When setting up a new campaign there are some keywords pre-filled. Sometimes there are a lot. Sometimes they are very client-specific rather than for the sector or for a search. Sometimes there are very few poor quality keywords. Should I research keywords so that there are as many as possible relevant keywords when first setting up the campaign or leave it as it is and add keywords later?

Moz not able to crawl our site - any advice?
When I try and crawl our site through Moz it gives this message: Moz was unable to crawl your site on Aug 7, 2019. Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have been through all the help and doesn't seem to be any issues. You can check the site and robots.txt here: https://myfamilyclub.co.uk/robots.txt. Anyone got any advice on where I could go to get this sorted?
