How to fix Moz assigning the wrong keyword to a page
-
Somehow the Moz tool has assigned the main keyword here this to my Google Structured Data Update page. Most likely, I missed something which caused the error.
"Keyword np - /google-structured-data-update/"
This is for my page titled "Announcement of Google algorithm updates Impact SEO techniques"The canonical tag links to https://www.hillwebcreations.com/google-algorithum-updates-impact-seo-tactics/ as it should, so I am wondering how to update the keyword Moz associates this page with.Any leads to solving this would be appreciated.

Hi Samantha,
Thank you for taking time to answer. As SEMrush, Ahrefs and other keyword tools are all associating the right keyword to the intended page, as well as per my Google reports, it remains baffling.
I have a page with the exact URL of "google-structured-data-update", so it would be great if Moz could associate my Google Algorithm Updates page with the correct keyword association. Maybe 6 months ago we had the wrong canonical tag - just maybe. If so, is there a way to "reset" Moz's data?
Hopefully, you are right and someone in the Moz community can weigh in on what is happening.
Thank you.

Hi there Jeannie,
Thanks so much for reaching out to us - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So, the thing about the way we gather our rankings data is that we don't exactly 'assign' a keyword to a URL in the way you've mentioned. There is no way to change this keyword manually.
When we collect rankings data, we pull this directly from the SERPS, and display the precise rank, and specific URL, for any keywords ranking in the top 50 SERP results. If that keyword is appearing associated with that URL in your campaign, it means that this is how it's displaying within the SERP results - that URL is the one that "np - /google-structured-data-update/" is ranking for.
It's possible that Google hasn't registered the canonical tag for some reason - though, we Helpsters are not SEO consultants and are only here for Moz tool support, so there may be someone in the community here who can weigh on on what might be happening, or you could reach out to your own SEO consultant about this.
I hope the clarity I've provided regarding the tools helps!

Unsolved Issue with MOZ Keyword Tracking: Missing Keywords in Report
Hello, I’m encountering an issue with MOZ’s keyword tracking tool. We have correctly set up our website: https://recomendacionpersonal.com/ to track multiple keywords, but the tool only seems to track a few of them. Some important keywords we’re targeting don’t appear in the report at all. We are in the trial phase and need to ensure the tool functions correctly for our SEO strategy before subscribing to a premium plan. Can someone please help us understand why this might be happening and how to fix it? Thank you!

Unsolved Is there a way to find out with which keywords are we ranking currently without entering them as part of the campaign?
I was able to do this on Ubersuggest and there I had an idea, which was helpful because part of our first attempts on SEO, on a relatively new company. Is there a way to do this here?

Unsolved Almost every new page become Discovered - currently not indexed
Almost every new page that I create becomes Discovered - currently not indexed. It started a couple of months ago, before that all pages were indexed within a couple of weeks. Now there are pages that have not been indexed since the beginning of September. From a technical point of view, the pages are fine and acceptable for a Google bot. The pages are in the sitemap and have content. Basically, these are texts of 1000+ or 2000+ words. I've tried adding new content to pages and even transferring content to a new page with a different url. But in this way, I managed to index only a couple of pages. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

Could it be that until September of this year, I hadn't added new content to the site for several months?
Please help, I am already losing my heart.0 -

Why didn't the Moz rankings change yesterday?
As of this morning, the Domain Authority section on our campaign still reads: "Next scheduled update: Jan 25, 2017 PST" and nothing has changed - it is still showing our old DA and how much it went up since last time. Is this a problem on our end, or is Moz experiencing difficulties with DA updates? Thanks in advance!
