I'm new to MOZ and I like the Keyword Explorer a lot. I'm curious if there is any additional helpful information that I can look up in order to optimized SEO? What if I want to search for a keyword combination?
Apple and Oranges but not Kiwi
Thanks in advance,

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!
Unfortunately, there's no way to use modifiers in your searches in Keyword Explorer to see results for, for example, "Apple and Oranges" but not "Kiwi." The tool is looking for exact matches for the keywords you enter, and it doesn't have any sense of modifiers to exclude or include different terms.
The best thing to do would be to search for your keywords and then simply group keyword suggestions by high lexical similarity to the terms you've entered, or exclude your search terms for broader results.
Sorry we don't have more sophisticated filters in Keyword Explorer just yet! If you have any more questions or there's anything else we can help with, feel free to give us a shout over at help@moz.com and we'll do what we can to get things sorted out.

Utilizing the Moz Location in keywords vs including the location in the actual keyword phrase
I've searched the Moz blog as well as Q&A forums - but I specifically have a question about utilizing the Moz Location in keywords vs including the location in the actual keyword phrase. I've done both and get different rankings. For instance, I have "it company" with the Location set to Corpus Christi, Texas and our rank is #3. Then I also have "it company corpus christi" with the Location set to Corpus Christi, Texas and our rank is #6. Additionally, I threw in "it company corpus christi" with the Location set to National and our rank is #7. What is the best practice and what are the determining factors for the differences? Thank you in advance!

Top pages according Link Explorer shows 301 pages and images
I was looking at the top pages on my website using Link Explorer, it contains 301 pages and image URLs. Is this expected or I should be doing something to fix it? URL with second highest PA in site is a page already 301 redirected more than 6 months back. URL with highest PA in my blog is a random image in the blog, rather than any blog posts. Is this normal? Thanks -Aji

What do you do when there is significant movement when checking a Ranking & Algorithm tracking tool?
I've checked various Ranking & Algorithm tracking tools (SEMrush, Mozcast etc.) and since 12th Jan 18 there has been a lot of 'turbulence' in terms predicted Google algorithm changes. This has been 'high' for the past 2 weeks. Question is, would you 'hang tight and ride the wave' or 'act fast'? Our actual rankings haven't really been affected positively or negatively - so I'm thinking I should just ride the wave to see what happens but keep a close eye on the rankings?

Moz Pro Question: Does the amount of keywords you are allowed to search reset each month?
I am a Moz Pro subscriber and I really love the new Keyword Explorer tool. One question I have that I couldn't find a clear answer was regarding the number of monthly keyword queries. Do they reset each month? I hope they do.
