Keyword ranking in google but not in MOZ
-
Good day,
When I type my keyword in google, the website related to this keyword appears on page 1 (7th link from the top).
However in Moz report, the keyword position is #13. I don't understand why.
Can someone explain the reason?
Thank you,

Personalized results would be my guess, too. Moz Analytics defaults to national rankings, so it won't take things like your location and search history into account.

When you check manually there is chance to use personalized results. Example - let mine site ranking for "web designer tips" on 10th position. I start searching and clicking and i can get on 1st position within some time. Because Google knows that i'm looking for "web designer tips" and i often click on this site. That's why this site will be boosted for mine results. But this doesn't mean that other users will get same. That's why on search console they return "average position".
There are few ways to escape "personalization". First (and free!) is to use browser "private tab" where you can see non-personalized and anonymous results. Second is Moz. There are also many "keyword trackers" - SemRush, Advanced Web Ranking, Serp.watch, etc. But most important is SearchConsole. Because SC is only way to extract valid data from Google about your site.

Can I access old data/keyword research if I cancel my Moz Pro account?
I'm currently on the free month trial period for Moz Pro and I will probably cancel the account before the free period ends, but if I want to renew my subscription later, what happens to all the previous data? And does all the keyword research I've done disappear when I cancel it, or is it restored when I renew the subscription? Any insight is helpful! Thank you!

Seeing all of our site's rankings
Hi everyone, I've started tracking some speciifc keywords here, but I'd also like to get a global overview of all the different keywords we're currently ranking for and in what positions. When I used Ahrefs it offered this sort of report. Does Moz offer such a report?

How to authenticate Moz crawler so that others don't use Rogerbot useragent to scrape data from our site?
Is there any way to authenticate genuine Moz crawler. Because, our website keeps getting scrapping attacks and if there is no way to authenticate Moz crawler, then, any scraper can just set user agent as Rogerbot and scrape all our pages. Is there a fixed IP that can be used or any other customization that will help us authenticate and allow only Moz crawler to crawl our site. Looking forward to a solution to this problem. We haven't been able to use Moz crawler due to this issue.
