What to believe Google's Comp or Moz's Opportunity/Potential graph
-
Hi!
I'm newbie and I really don't know which info is best to dial in with the keywords. Google tells me that my keyword is in high competition, but Moz suggests that I have very high opportunity and potential with low difficulty with the same keyword...
Maybe I need some sleep and come back later :-).
Many thanks!

Thanks! Now I understand the main difference a lot better!

Hi Papa -- Google's number is for paid search. They're just telling you how much competition there is for the paid/AdWords results. Moz's KW Explorer tells you difficulty for the organic (non-paid) results. They're two entirely different things! More here: https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer

Error Selecting Search Engine During Moz Campaign Set-Up
Hi, I'm setting up a Moz campaign for a new client, and when I get to the third step, "Choose the search engines for which you would like to track rankings," there's nothing to select. No drop down, or anything, just a blank field under the heading. If I try to advance, I get an error pop-up that says I must select a search engine. Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do? GlWPAsc zAmzqFf

Google+ Not Working in my Profile
I would like to add my Google+ and Facebook addresses in my profile but when I do it says my vanity names are not correct. I am copying and pasting directly from the Google+ page and Facebook page so I do not know what to do. When I do try to just add the numbers for my Google+ page that is not working either. Thanks - Travis

I'm setting up a new campaign and getting the error "This does not appear to be a valid URL" What's wrong?
I've tried multiple times (over 2 days) with every variation of the URL with no luck. Any ideas for why the URL does not seem to be working?

Moz Pro won't stay connected to my Google Analytics profile
I just started a trial of Moz Pro today and it seems to have a problem staying connected to my Google Analytics account. Evenr time I refresh a page or click to a different page, I get a notification that reads "Our connection to your Google Analytics account was lost. Don't worry, you won't lose any data. Please reauthorize now." I click the link to reauthorize and it says it was successful, But then as soon as I refresh the page or click to a new page withing Moz Pro, the message appears again. I'm afraid that none of my GA data is being collected by Moz Pro. What should I do?
