New SERP Features Cumbersome. Bring Back the Old Ranking Setup!
-
Does anyone else hate the new SERP Features section?
Well, let me start over. I do not hate that section, I hate that that data was removed from the main rankings page. It was very convenient to be able to see that my site was ranking # for organic and also listed in the Local listings. All in one place. Now, I have to go to 2 different places to get that data. When you are tracking more than 5 keywords, going back and forth will make your head spin. (Yes, I know you can get all the data in a cv file. That's still an additional, unnecessary step when you need a quick ranking update).
Also, when the local/image/video/etc. emblems were shown on the main ranking page, you could hover over the emblem and see who was ranking on the first page for that vertical. Now that data is completely gone. Suggestions for where to find this data? A bright local membership?
Thanks for listening to me rant. Moz, if you are listening, please bring back the old ranking page!

Sam from Moz's Help team here. I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling so frustrated with the new setup:(.
We always really appreciate your feedback as we aim to provide the best possible user experience for our Moz community. I've passed on this message to our development team so they can consider it when deciding on any changes to implement in the future.
If you have any other suggestions, we'd love to hear them as well. Please feel free to send over a message to help@moz.com if there's anything else you'd like us to look into (it's an easier way for us to keep track of requests and feedback).
Sorry again for the inconvenience!

I have to agree. It wasn't broke, why did they 'fix' it?
I really don't want to have to pay for Moz and a BrightLocal membership.

Feature Request Inventory and Rankings
Where can one submit a feature request for Moz, see all the other ones that have been submitted, and make our preferences known? For those of you reading this question, I suspect there is no inventory of feature requests accessible to non-Mozzers because I have occasionally asked to have something added and been told my request would be passed along versus "go here and log it". I'm asking the question in case one does exist and I'm just not aware of it. That said, if you think this would be valuable, please comment and let Moz know.

Can Moz add an alert to email us when a competitor's site gets a new backlink?
This would be a very useful feature, and other sites are doing this, including Ahrefs.

Will the Pro tool be updated to reflect the new meta description length?
Hi, I'm wondering if and when the tool will be updated for the above purpose - I'm currently testing it out with a view to purchase a subscription and have onboarded a couple of clients, but the reports are coming back with meta description length errors, but as I'm sure you know the "legal" length of these was recently increased to I believe 320 characters. Any insight here would be awesome - thanks so much!

Is it possible to view keyword rankings over the past 13 months?
The keyword rankings bar graph is a great visual representation to provide clients, but most clients like to see the past 13 months (vs. 12 months) so they can compare the current month to last year. It'd be great if the latest [monthly] keyword rankings showed all the way back to the same month last year (Ex. If I was looking at the keyword rankings for December 2015, all the way back to December 2014 would be graphed out.)

Feature Request: Set campaign date
Hi Moz, My Moz campaigns run from Thursday to Wednesday. That's because the person who set them up did so on Wednesday. Unfortunately, every other reporting tool we use thinks a week starts on Sunday and ends on Saturday ... Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools, etc. If I want to report on an actual week in Moz - Sunday through Saturday - I can't. Well, I can, but I have to log in around 12:01 Sunday morning to create my campaigns ... which I did this weekend for our translated sites ... but I did it wrong because I entered the root domain rather than the .com/de directory, for example ... because it was after midnight and I was really sleepy ... so now I have to wait till next Sunday if I want Sunday through Saturday week/week data. So here's my feature request: Whenever we create a campaign, ask us what day we want to count as the first day of the week ... kinda like Wordpress does it. For created campaigns, allow us to change the first day of the week one time only. Not sure about others, but I would be willing to lose a week of data to set the campaign start to Sunday. Thanks. And please don't take the complaining part of this feature request to mean that I don't love you, because I do.
