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?

It's going to be a while -- possibly a year or more -- before we have good data for KWs outside the US. In the meantime, I'd suggest SEMRush, KeywordSpy, SpyFu, or Ahrefs, all of whom have fairly robust KW data sets outside the US.

Hi,
When can we expect to see Google search volume data for United Kingdom?
I've just used "root domain" in keyword explorer but all my keywords are showing results from US so Monthly Volume searches, positions for these keywords and ranking difficulty aren't correct for me.Thanks

Hi Gyorgy - I think you asked this same question in the reply to another thread, but I'll paste my answer to that below
Some important things to keep in mind about volume in KWE:
-
It uses United States volume only right now (if you search by default in AdWords, you may be getting global search volume unless you choose "US")
-
It's modifying that data with actual clickstream numbers to give greater accuracy
-
It normalizes trend volume, so if Google has a big spike or dip, they'll show that one number, whereas KWE tries to estimate the monthly average data.

Moz Rankings vs DuckDuckGo
Hello, So we have a client that’s only interested in a handful of keywords. We would like track his rankings through a Moz Campaign but he currently uses Duck Duck Go to check them. Strictly from an accuracy perspective (and not necessarily added features like Mobile Rankings) is there any arguments we could use to convert them to Moz? If not we will let them know but any input would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance for the help. Best,

How do you choose a country when uploading a keyword list into Keyword Explorer?
Hi There, I'v been exploring keywords in the Keyword Explorer search bar and changing the Google country via the dropdown (very useful). But now that I'm uploading lists via CSV, I can't figure out how to change the country - see screenshot attached. I think I've just wasted a bunch of monthly queries because the lists created via .csv are all for the wrong country! Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Ben upload-keywords.jpg?dl=0

How is Moz's DA score so high?
Obviously they make the tool that measures this, but is their own score inflated because of this? I know DA isn't strictly a measure of popularity, but Moz's own score seems a little _too _high compared to some other sites... 92 - Moz.com 90 - Salesforce.com 87 - Airbnb.com 84 - Priceline.com 83 - Squarespace.com Can someone shed some light on how DA is actually measured?

Keyword Difficulty Tool - Bulk Data of Specifics?
For the keyword difficulty tool, if I want to see the details, I have to click on the keyword in order to see the list of the competitors and their DA and RLRDs. Is there a way to download this list for all of the keywords and their DA and RLRDs? The only bulk I can download is the list of keywords in my difficulty tool list along with their Bing search volume and keyword difficulty %. Thanks!!!1
