How often is page authority updated
-
Hello,
I am on the 99 USD Plan. Is it updated the same as with the 149 plan ?
My second question is how can you increase you PA ? because i am wondering if with a PA on some of my subpage of 1 I can compete with content to reach the 1 st page with websites that have PA or 30 for example
Thank you,

Ok good to know. So PA and DA and both based on backlinks (internal and external).

Hi!
I don't think that a Good UX will improve PA nor DA.
Take a look at the Moz Glossary and you will find this definition:_Page Authority (PA) - indicates how likely a page is to rank based on how authoritative search engines consider it to be because of which sites link to it. _
Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Thank for your very detailed reply, this is very helpful.
One more thing : Can a good UX design improve the PA or is it just a matter of links ?

Hi there,
Yeap, the frequency between updates is the same, regardless the plan your paying.
You can check the history in updates and the next update date: Mozscape API updatesFist thing to say here is that you should not rely on PA, DA or any other tool's metric. They do not tell google where it should rank, it even the opposite: Every tool tries it's best to understand and put in metrics what they think google will took into consideration to rank.
Moz, in this case analyze specially the backlink profile and the metrics are (re)calculated every time the API is updated. This goes to respond the fact that you the new pages have PA=1, what is correct because they are not in Moz's index. It's been suggested to wait at least two updates for having those new pages included in the index.On the topic about ranking to the 1st page and competing with pages that have about PA30, you should not worry about increasing metrics, rather than creating unique content and having every onpage aspect of your pages correctly done and of course that should come along with aswering that specific query/user intent.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.
GR.

Moz says my pages don't have rel="canonical" but they do
Hi, I've just had my initial report from Moz and it says my pages are missing rel="canonical". I'm using the Yoast SEO plugin on my WordPress site which adds these automatically. I have also checked the source code for my pages and can see rel="canonical". What has gone wrong please?

Improve Page Authority or Domain Authority
I am very confused as to the practical implementation of these 2 terms PA and DA. I have a website and i want to rank a particular page. So to rank it at the top, should i have more backlinks of page** or **more backlinks of my Homepage. Does more back links of a particular page improves only PA or (PA & DA) both ?

Why isn't my Campaign Data updating?
I am new to Moz and my campaigns haven't been updating. I got the initial data, but I haven't received any new data since then. I think that I set up the account on the 23rd of July. My reports show that info, but nothing else. I have checked the dropdown for this last week and it is empty. I have done a lot of work and want to see if there has been any change. Help! FyBaH8B

Report time periods & Domain Authority over time
Hello there. I am evaluating the Moz tools and I have two brief questions. What are the time periods (weekly, monthly, ..) that one can choose to compile reports? Is there a view to show Domain Authority over time? Thanks, Marco

I am new to MOZ, I set up one tracking campaign two weeks ago, I have tracked no keywords, I have done some keyword research for ranking difficulty and in two weeks I have already hit 50K pages crawled, I'm maxed out, is this common?
I am a startup and can't afford the higher plans yet. And even their highest plan is 600K pages crawled, which seems really low considering how lightly I used the tool and how quickly I hit 50K. Does anyone have any advice or information on how they use the tool on lower packages? Did I do something wrong to hit 50K pages crawled that fast? Does this pricing make any sense, it seems like an incredibly high price, I love the tool, any help is appreciated.
