During my keyword research
-
Hello,
Is it normal that I find keyword in bolded in the search results that don't appear in keyword explorer when I do the my keyword research ?
Thank you,

Yep! It's a good idea to use a couple of different approaches when you're looking to research keywords!
-
I guess this is very helpful on searches where there is little volumes and the keyword tool doesn't have much, isn't it ?

When you search, you are going to see Google bolding related and relevant keywords from their proprietary database, which could be influenced by what they know about you specifically or what they are guessing based upon any odors that they can sense when your query arrives.
When I publish a new page, I often go do Google to do a number of searches and relevant searches to see who is competing, what they have published and what Google is showing in bold in the page titles and descriptions. I often see keywords there that research at SEMrush does not surface.

Keyword Volume - as compared to keyword planner and other tools.
Hi in the rankings for my keywords, the monthly range is so much lower than other keyword tools I use, including google keyword planner, semrush and longtail pro (which all match and show a number much higher than Moz). Support said it's because those tools may group like keywords or singular/plural versions where Moz truly separates each term as a separate term, hence more specific and precise. My question is: If google does somewhat group plural/singular and close match keywords, then wouldn’t it not matter anyways - if someone types a close match keyword and my keyword ends up triggering/displaying as if they typed my targeted keyword - then wouldn’t it still fall under the larger number if in the end it works in displaying my website as a result? If google changes search "blue sky" to "sky that is blue", and you get the same ranking for either of those two keywords then in the end does it matter? I'm thrown for a loop as I spent time optimizing my website based on numbers I received from the other tools and now seeing a much lower number for said keywords and possibly a little higher for a different variation of it, I don't know what to do.

Gap between Keyword Explorer and SEPR Analysis
Hello everyone, I'm having hard time to understand something, while i'm doing a competitor analysis. I was looking at the report coming from the Keyword explorer tool, looking for one of my competitors subdomain. That's showing some keywords, but i found those keyword weird, regarding my market structure. I type a keyword i'm interested with on Google, and i found that that finally, this competitor is raking #1, but keyword explorer was not showing this particular keyword on the keyword. The SERP analysis coming from Moz is also good. Is someone already experience that issue ? Thanks

Label existing keywords
I have keywords that were added without a label that I would now like to associate with an existing label. I don't want to lose my tracking data by deleting them and re-adding. Is there a way to easily label them with an existing label?

Why there is a big gap between MOZ and Google Analytics Keyword Ranking for my website?
Hello everyone, I've just started a SEO project and I'm very new in the field. Well, I tried to select the most interesting Keywords for my website. When I checked out what the current ranking for each one was, I noticed that between Google and MOZ, figures are totally different. For example, for the word "channel manager": on Google Analytics: #2 on MOZ: not in the top 50 I know that for Google Analytics, these numbers are average (12 months). But it cannot explain such a huge gap. Do you have an explanation for that? And also does that mean that I can't trust Google (really?). Because I also did some analysis with Google figures: Monthly searches, Competition... Thanks for you help! Happy Christmas, Floriane.

Issues adding keywords to MOZ analytics
Hi All 🙂 I've started a couple of campaigns in MOZ Analytics, one accepts keywords the other looks like it does but doesn't actually add them.. I'm pasting a group of keywords, about 30, all separated with comma's. Doing exactly the same to one account that congratulated me straight away and added them to the list below, yay! The other shows the spinning wheel for a few seconds and does nothing further, I've waited a good 24 hours and they keywords have not appeared. Any help appreciated! Thanks 🙂
