Remove Meta Description Errors
-
When Moz shows pages that are 404's you are able to remove them after the issue is fixed. Is there a way to do this for missing Meta Descriptions? It shows that numerous pages are missing them, but when I go look, it's already been corrected and it is still showing months later.

This should change after recrawls. A few things to check for sure:
- Syntax. Make sure the meta description tag is typed correctly.
- URL Parameters. Check to see that the missing description isn't attributable to variable or session based issue.
- Browser test. View the source of some pages as a spot check to make sure nothing is changing between the code and the public facing side of the site.
That should do it.

Is there a way to download a report showing all meta descriptions for our web pages?
I see how to look at data for web pages with meta descriptions that have been flagged as being less than optimal. Is there a way to do a complete download of the meta descriptions on all our pages? (good meta as well as not so good) Thanks! Lydia

Meta description
Hi! I have updated my meta description a few sites on my website and for some reason when I check it on MOZ, the old meta description keeps showing up. We use a platform called Metropublisher and it is showing the updated meta description on their end, but through MOZ and Sreaming Frog, the old meta description still appears. Any ideas why this is? Thanks in advance!

Sufficient Words in Content error, despite having more than 300 words
My client has just moved to a new website, and I receive "Sufficient Words in Content" error over all website pages , although there are much more than 300 words in those pages. for example: https://www.assuta.co.il/category/assuta_sperm_bank/ https://www.assuta.co.il/category/international_bank_sperm_donor/ I also see warnings for "Exact Keyword Used in Document at Least Once" although there is use of them in the pages.. The question is why can't MOZ crawler see the pages contents?

I have a robots.txt error on Moz but not on Google Webmaster tools. Wondering what to do.
For the site www.patrickwerry.com, I'm getting a DA of 1 and a Error Code 612: Error response for robots.txt However, when I check webmaster tools, it's showing no errors and allowing robots.txt for the domain. Is there anything I can do to fix the issue on the Moz side so I can get better data? If you can respond in layman's terms even better. 🙂 Not an SEO. Lisa

Clicking on "Filter" on "Just discovered"tab errors out
IF you click on the "fiter" button on the "just discovered" tab in OSE, page returns message "no links found." This is weird because that message displays even when you didn't actually filter for anything, but just clicked on the button.
