How to have MOZ site crawl pre-launch
-
Hi,
Our new website is about to launch.
We would love to have moz.com SITE CRAWL our site before launch.
For issues like "missing meta description" and everything else that moz.com checks.
We would love to do it before we launch.
The new site is currently on a different domain than our live site.
example.com <-- this is our live site.
new-site.com <-- this is our "staging" server with the new site.
We have a long running campaign for example.com
Do we need to create a new campain for new-site.com ? Or is there some other simpler way?
When we launch we will switch the site from new-site.com to example.com .. example.com will be the address for the new site..
Any ideas or suggestions? best practices?
edit Forgot to say thank you for your help and input

Thank you!
Yes, we did create a campaign and it worked out fine.
Ofcourse the crawler complains about our site having meta noindex... But it found other issues as well! including a nasty redirect chain and a bunch of broken links!

Hi Ibbe,
Thanks for reaching out! Jo from the Moz support team here.
Each campaign tracks the url entered when it's created. So in order to track a new site you would indeed need to create a new campaign. You can do that here https://analytics.moz.com/campaigns/new
Also it's worth noting that your staging site would need to be publicly available for our crawler to reach and crawl it.
I hope this helps, please do let me know if you would like more clarification or have any other queries.
You're welcome to reach out to help@moz.com if you get stuck :]
Jo

Moz not able to crawl our site - any advice?
When I try and crawl our site through Moz it gives this message: Moz was unable to crawl your site on Aug 7, 2019. Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have been through all the help and doesn't seem to be any issues. You can check the site and robots.txt here: https://myfamilyclub.co.uk/robots.txt. Anyone got any advice on where I could go to get this sorted?

Attempts to fix MOZ recommended issues resulted in drastic ranking drop.
I have a website built in SquareSpace. https://www.ruffhaus.com/ I recently started working with MOZ to track and improve organic SEO. After my initial site crawl, search visibility was reported at a waping 2.38%. Moz showed several critical crawler issues. Most were redirect, 4xx and long URL. So I started working on fixing the redirect and 4xx issues first. I thought this was a good thing. But now my already sad search visibility has dropped to .07% (-95.97%!). I also went from #1 on keyword, brand implementation plan (and 3 variations), to #27. What? Wondering where I went wrong and how to remedy? This is all new to me so I am sure I'm not providing all the info you need to answer my question. Hoping providing the site URL will help. Fire away!

Why is analytics.moz.com showing up a traffic source in Google Analytics?
Under Traffic Sources, analytics.moz.com is listed as a source for 37 sessions this past month. What might this be? Is it legitimate traffic or should I be filtering this?
