Keyword Difficulty Popup
-
This evening, when using Chrome and the Moz toolbar, I noticed something new - a "keyword difficulty" popup appeared below and to the left of the window in which I typed my search term. It took about 20 seconds to populate, but eventually it changed color and displayed a percentage score.
Is this something new you guys are testing?

Thanks Sean and Ryan for chiming in. Appreciate the validation.
And yes, I was typing in the nav bar. I saw the button in both places - to the right and below the nav bar.

Very cool Sean. Makes my screen grabs a little redundant just now. Ha. Very handy though for users to have the difficulty right in context of the search results as well. Cheers!

I saw this too, although my version has the "Get Keyword Difficulty" button in green to the right of Google Search. Were you typing in the nav bar?

Hi Donna,
I hope that all is well and you are having a super amazing day! You are correct that Keyword Analysis has been added to the Moz Bar to provide all of your keyword analysis needs. Just type the keyword you would like to check out in Google and select the Get Keyword Analysis option. Here is a super cool screen capture for reference:Â http://screencast.com/t/tD7sIrl3O
The percentage is based off of our existing keyword analysis tool which can be located here:Â https://moz.com/researchtools/keyword-difficulty.
Although, we would love to be able to expand this feature out in the future for now, it is a bit limited. If you see anything you would like to add or just see some other super cool suggestions feel free to post them at:Â http://seomoz.zendesk.com/forums/293194-seomoz-pro-feature-requests
Hopefully this helps and if you have any other questions or concerns please let me know.
Have a really awesome day and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Keyword Explorer shows wrong data
Hi all, Trying to figure out what is going on with the keyword explorer. All searches are made in the EN-US region. Example keyword: app localization
Moz Bar | | Fred.Visnevsky
Moz shows me that volume is 0-10, which is Wrong. Actual volumes are in thousands per month. Another keyword - translation service
Moz shows the volume as 2480 when actual volumes are in tens of thousands. I can give many more examples like this - what is going on? NZGzX2p.png vzIwMoe.png1 -

Keyword Explorer: Search by Domain Not Working?
We have tried Keyword Explorer for several websites today using the domain, subdomain and exact page option. None of these are returning keyword results. Is the tool currently broken? As a test we tried Amazon.com, see screenshot: JbWsaLi.png

How non-US Moz customers will use Keyword Explorer after the Keyword Difficulty tool is retired?
The new Moz Keyword Explorer looks good but its search volume is US based and completely useless for non-US websites. This is from Rand's post: "while the tool can search any Google domain in any country, the volume numbers will always be for US-volume. In the future, we hope to add volume data for other geos as well." In the Keyword Difficulty tool, Moz shows Google search volume data, which is similar to what I see in the Google Keyword Planner and Google Search Console. For example, keyword X in the Australian search market has 6-7k searches in the Google Keyword Planner and 8k searches in Moz. The very same keyword has 118k-300k search volume in the new Keyword Explorer! Obviously this new search volume is not useful in the Australian market. I often used the Keyword Difficulty tool to identify new keyword opportunities but what can I do to complete the same tasks after they retire the tool?

National or local tracking of keywords
I manage an account with +20 locations and have used the default National tracking on keywords, but realized that we might see higher rankings if I choose local tracking. If any of you have any experience in this, please tell the world!

I'm checking keyword difficulty for two different sites. Would love to view the results by site instead of just one large list. Is that possible? Or would it just be easier to keep the lists separate in Excel and just import when I want an updated report?
I have keyword lists for two sites. Is there a way to label them in the keyword difficulty tool (List A, List B) so I can just view results for a particular site? Or do I need to run the report with List A, export results, delete those keywords, then run the report for List B?

Does Moz Pro generate similar keyword phrases in a list (preferably showing their difficulty %) or is it only one phrase at a time with no similar words/phrases suggested?
I just signed up for Moz Pro but the keyword research seems to only let you try one keyword phrase at a time. Â Is there a way for it to give related keywords along with their difficulty % info, etc. It is far too slow and inconvenient doing one at a time.
