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

Hey!
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!

Server blocking crawl bot due to DOS protection and MOZ Help team not responding
First of all has anyone else not received a response from the help team, ive sent 4 emails the oldest one is a month old, and one of our most used features on moz on demand crawl to find broken links doesnt work and its really frustrating to not get a response, when we're paying so much a month for a feature that doesnt work. Ok rant over now onto the actual issue, on our crawls we're just getting 429 errors because our server has a DOS protection and is blocking MOZ's robot, im sure it will be as easy as whitelisting the robots IP, but i cant get a response from MOZ with the IP. Cheers, Fergus

Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website
Hello All, I'm facing an issue with the MOZ Crawler. Every time it crawls my website , there will be an error message saying " **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Sep 13, 2017. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. " We changed the robots.txt file and checked it . but still the issue is not resolved. URL : https://www.khadination.shop/robots.txt Do let me know what went wrong and wjhat needs to be done. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

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!
