Why doesn't Moz read the right meta description?
-
We have a WordPress blog and Moz continues to read our site title as the meta description instead of the nicely crafted and SEO-friendly meta descriptions we are writing on each post in our Yoast plugin. Can someone help use understand why Moz is reading the site title rather than the post meta descriptions?
(We did test deleting the site title all together but then this made Moz think that there is no meta description for any of the posts.)

- Ok first you need to check your source code, probably you already did it, if so just ignore this step if not please check your source code using the dev tool of chrome, the thing is you need to check the HTML of your site. Title and Meta Description Tags.
- Update your Yoast Plugin based on your comments the source of the problem start with Yoast which honestly is not perfect and it had several issues and bugs recently.
- Deactive Yoast, Go to your dashboard and deactivate the plugin. Then you need to insert the Title and Meta Descriptions (manually) the tags that you want to insert on a single page and then run a test using the On-page Graderon this way you can determinate if the problem is Yoast or Moz.
- If you're still having trouble I will suggest you write to Moz support team help@moz.com

Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'
Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'. And this is happening with common words like "prints" - I'm dead certain this keyword should not have 'no data available'. What's going on? How do I reset or fix this? I only have 12 days left of my trial and I can't even use the feature I need.

Moz disconnecting from Google Analytics
Hi A number of our campaigns have been disconnected from GA and every time we connect them it says it has, but when you go back, it is disconnects again. I found this thread on this forum: https://moz.com/community/q/google-reauthorization-in-moz#reply_216161 Is this still relevant? Thanks. Regards

Analytic goals in Moz
We should have the ability to see any and all conversions goals, as defined in analytics, in Moz. After all, the whole point of marketing, SEO, PPC, Social, etc. is to drive sales or leads that create sales right? So, why should we have a dashboard tool that doesn't show us the 1 thing that ultimately matters the most? I understand that Moz simply wasn't designed to do this, but I think that should change. After all, we are in this to make money I hope. My 2 Cents. Micha

Moz crawls
Hi all! I'm running two separate campaign crawls at the moment that I'm having a few issues with. The first is http://www.muchbetteradventures.com/. I'm tracking this at root to try an pick any problems with a previous version of the site, which is on the v1.muchbetteradventures subdomain. However, I'm only seeing 100 or so pages as being crawled in Moz, compared to thousands in Google. There's no access blocked alerts in Moz either. The second is http://www.sothebys.com/. I started this crawl at root a few days ago and no pages at all have been processed. Very odd! Any advice would be much appreciated.
