Will MOZ be updating there tools with regards to the new Meta Description length?
-
Now that Google has increased the number of characters allowed for meta descriptions/snippets when will MOZ be updating the tools to cater for the new lengths?
I'm sure a lot of my Meta descriptions that are being flagged as too long with disappear once updated.
Cheers

Ah this is good news OCD panic over
Thank you for the update

Good news!
It looks like we will be making changes to the max character count for meta description! Keep your eyes open!

Haha!
I do have another option which may help in the interim if it works within your SEO strategy. Because they are all of the same type and if you're confident that you don't need to know about any of them, you can ignore the issue type in your campaign.

Hi Eli,
Thank you for the update. My OCD is kicking in with 1000s of meta descriptions highlighted as being too long. Hoping when it is updated that most will go away

Thanks for reaching out!
We're keeping our eyes on the news — the product team may decide to update our tools to be in line with the new guidelines, it's just not on the roadmap quite yet!

Moz Pricing Needs Update
Hi I am coming from Ahrefs and Moz plans need serious update about the limits especially rank tracking. Ahrefs is providing more keywords $0.08/keyword (5000 keywords for the advanced plan) and update interval of 3 days. Moz large plan is $0.13/keyword with intervals of 1 week. Can this be looked into? Hopefully Moz can improve the limits for keywords ranking/tracking. In 2020 where many rank tracking tools provide daily update, 1 week is a bit ridiculously long. Hopefully Moz can make some improvement in this area,

Will the Pro tool be updated to reflect the new meta description length?
Hi, I'm wondering if and when the tool will be updated for the above purpose - I'm currently testing it out with a view to purchase a subscription and have onboarded a couple of clients, but the reports are coming back with meta description length errors, but as I'm sure you know the "legal" length of these was recently increased to I believe 320 characters. Any insight here would be awesome - thanks so much!

Feature request - easy tool - tags counter!!
Hi Moz Not so much a question, but a suggestion
Feature Requests | | MikeSEOTruven
One that would also brings lots of traffic to your site ref:
https://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag I use your title tag tool constantly, when working on getting my title tags length compliant
It would be even greater if you could add an additional tool that counts the meta-descriptions
(in the same place) (Right now I have to load them into excel for counter) It actually doesnt even need to be an article, but a easy to use tool to access on your site I read your articles all the time, but I would say I access this article/tool even more Thanx all!

Hi Moz community! So when i ran a site crawl to analyze page issues for a site that has been in our account for some time now, it only showed 10 high priority (404) issues...yet when i logged into wordpress and installed yoast premium and connected to google search console, around 900 404s showed up....(we have not blocked off any pages to be crawled) does anyone know a reason why this happens?

Competitor changed URL. What data do I lose if I update Moz settings?
One of my competitor's has changed their domain URL. I want to update this in the Moz campaign settings but I get a warning that all historical data will be lost if I do. Is that really true? I replaced one of my competitors with another for a week and didn't seem to lose historical data. Incidentally, could this be a feature request to allow more competitors to be tracked? eqEhEHz.jpg
