Best Rank Tracking tool w/ data exports or APIs
-
I have briefly reviewed the API data available through the Moz API endpoints and did not see that the rank tracking data is available. I first wanted to confirm that?
Second, I am looking to start tracking rank for nearly 1 million keywords (local pages multiplied by dozens of core keywords). I want to watch the rankings for a region move over time, as well as keywords generally, and then keywords in a region. My momentary initial research shows that there are a LOT of rank tracker tools, which felt a bit overwhelming to sift through them all and figure out which one would be best.
My biggest needs are:
- handling lots of keywords and URLs
- exporting the data automatically (via an API or recurring export)
- allowing for localized results without having to qualify the keywords
- not breaking the bank to do so -- I'm not an SEO w/ multiple clients, these are all on 1 domain

Ahhh maybe LinkAssistant then?

You can setup to track different locations "as" different search engines & track ongoing progress across many KWs & campaigns.
Test it out (free) and see if it does relatively what you're looking for but I think it should.

I should have been more clear. It's not really a million keywords. It's more like 25-35 keywords, but they each rank differently in each local metro area, which means it looks / feels like that many keywords.
I'd love to not have to fuss with setting up my own proxies and software - I'd prefer SaaS if I can find one that is affordable that does this for me.

I can't imagine how you're going to rank track a million keywords (or even how you'd have time to look at that much data to make meaningful insights).
Let's assume that it makes sense to do so, however. I think you need Rank Tracker by Link Assistant. It technically allows "unlimited" keywords for tracking.
The issue is blocking. You're going to also need a proxy package setup in it. (maybe Squid, BuyProxies, YPP, Proxy-Hub, Errsy, etc.)
Once you have a big enough proxy package, run til your heart's content. It keeps historic data, etc.
I would suggest creating multiple campaigns for your locations so you can run each one at once, etc. and see how that one group did. If you create a campaign for each, it'll be much easier to see those buckets and make some decisions & figure out where to apply your efforts.

No UTM codes, How do you track in Google Analytics?
I see that Moz recommends not to use UTM codes as some directories will not allow a listing with a UTM code. I like to use tracking codes for my Google My Business (GMB) links so I can differentiate traffic/conversions from organic/google. Does anyone have a solution to measure the two in Google Analytics?

What markup/schema is "responsible" for location pin in mobile rich snippets?
Howdy, Saw this new(?) feature in mobile rich snippets (attached here). Anyone knows what part of schema (or whatever else) is making this appear? P.S. From all responses, and some thinking, it looks like the answer would be "who knows", as usual with Google. But most likely it would be related to usual LocalBusiness addressLocality itemprop. 0739Z5v

Best Practice For Multisite Targeting Different States With Same Content
I am auditing a Joomla website that uses the MightySites component to create multiple versions of the same site for different state/province areas. For example, the site structure looks something like: example.com/fl/
Local SEO | | MatShepSEO
example.com/mn/
example.com/ny/
example.com/wa/ etc. Each of the state home pages are largely identical and much of the content within each state sub-folder is a copy of the original content on the main example.com site, with minor changes here and there. The client is a national organization and needs to keep this structure to allow each state to be able to edit and change their own content, though as far as I can see content doesn't actually vary much. What's best practice here in reducing duplicate content issues? We can't use hreflang as it is all within one country (although it does also provide two different language versions of content, for which I will use hreflang.) Should we just canonical everything back to the corresponding pages on the example.com site? Any thoughts or recommendations much appreciated.0 -

Does blocking traffic from a country via a firewall affect my ranking?
The main conversion point on my site is a contact form completion. Approximately a third of my conversions last year were from an international country we don't sell our services in, and all those conversions were attempts to sell us services. We are considering blocking the traffic to the site from that country. I'm trying to figure out if that will negatively affect my SEO rank here in the US before we proceed with that plan. Does anyone have any experience with implementing this tactic?

How to promote a local SEO/Web design company via a blog (mainly blogging) and social media?
Hello, What is possible as far as promoting a local SEO and Web Design Company with a blog? I'm offering simple web design, both informational and product based, as well as SEO for existing informational and product-based companies here in Boise, Idaho. At first it won't be face to face so there's no local SEO. I honestly don't like to sell. I've done it for years and I'd like to spend my time blogging (mainly blogging), doing social media, and volunteering. How can I use this approach to get a beginning agency off the ground? Please don't tell me to go push my services. I'd like to get my company off the ground through avenues that have integrity to me. How do I do this? Feel free to include articles and videos in your response if appropriate. Thank you.

What is The Best Way to Rank in Multiple Countries?
Hi, I have a client that would like to rank in google.ie as well as .co.uk and in the middle east and possibly other parts of Europe. What is the best way to go about this? Would a new domain for each country be best and hosted in that specific country or is there a way to do this with one site? Bearing in mind that SEO will need to be done to rank in each country. Many Thanks.
