Hamid - the fluctuation is not necessarily coming from something you did wrong. The main takeaway from Rand's article is to consider the PA/DA as a relative measure - to see how you score compared to your competitors (see quote below). It tries to predict how well your site is doing in the search results - but (as all tools on the market) it will never be perfect.
"My strongest suggestion if you ever have the concern/question "Why did my PA/DA drop?!" is to always compare against a set of competing sites/pages. If most of your competitors fell as well, it's more likely related to relative scaling or crawl biasing issues, not to anything you've done. Remember that DA/PA are relative metrics, not absolute! That means you can be improving links and rankings and STILL see a falling DA score, but, due to how DA is scaled, the score in aggregate may be better predictive of Google's rankings."

Is there any special part in moz panel that I can see where we did wrong actions?

There was an update of the Moz index yesterday - so it's not really abnormal that there are some fluctuations. If you want to read more about that - check this post from Rand https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores which explains quite well what's happening.

Since DA update, all H1s are lost
The new Moz errors for missing H1 tags align with the timing of the new Moz DA. We have not changed anything onsite nor are these tags implemented dynamically. Both desktop and AMP version of each page have an H1. Example page: Google Maps Marketing Google Maps Marketing to Promote Your Business Might this be a bug with the new Moz DA rollout?

Moz is flagging my callto: links as 404s. I "fixed" with tel: & nofollow and lost 2 DA. Help?
I changed the callto: links to tel: links in the footer and nofollowed them and my domain authority dropped 2. I'm assuming this is because we lost 2.8K "external links" Advice on how to remove 404s for Phone#'s without affecting DA? Will just using the tel: format stop Moz from crawling them as 404's? It was adding links to the 404 list that look like this: www.ocp.org/missals/callto:########### I assumed it was because to the crawlers the links looked like relative links this is what our links look like now: <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>tel:###########" rel="nofollow" title="Call us">########### Old footer links: <a <span="" class="html-tag">href</a><a <span="" class="html-tag">="</a>callto:###########" title="Call us">###########

How long to see Keyword Opportunities results?
Hello! I am VERY new to using Moz Pro (and SEO in general) and my initial use is to find find keyword opportunities within a specific industry by comparing my clients' site to their top 3 competitors' sites. I have an initial list of keywords from my clients site (I've been tracking it for a week) but have not gotten any results from the competitors I'm tracking. How long does it take to see these keyword opportunities? My immediate goal (at this point): Supply my client a keyword audit of 30 keywords within their industry. Any suggestions on how to do this? Maybe I'm not going about it the right way? Or, do I just have to wait until the other sites I'm tracking populate data? Thank you for your help/advice! -SEO Newbie

Will the Moz Keyword Explorer Tool (which I LOVE BTW) some day allow you to see search result figures broken down by location?
I know this is a long shot, but are there plans to eventually filter keyword volumes by location like the Google AdWords tool does today? Or is that never going to happen? Assuming not, are there other recommended avenues for teasing out keyword volumes of a local vicinity? I work for a health system, so nearly all of our customers are local. So I always feel like I have to guess on words like "urgent care" since obviously I'm not trying to rank nationally, but often people do not use a geo modifier term when searching.
