Is there an automated way to import Keyword Rank Tracker data in Google Data Studio?
-
I am creating an SEO Dashboard in Google Data Studio.
While it's easy to import data from Google Search Console, I have troubles in importing data from Mozzarellas tools.I thought about uploading a CSV file with the ranking to a Google Sheet Document, but I cannot find a way to do this at regular intervals with manual intervention.

The add-on only appears to import MozRank and link targeting information. Can you confirm that rank can be imported? Thanks!

To be honest I found Google Data Studio pretty horrible and was able to work much more easily with Microsoft's Power BI, though for corporations it's not free and the price-tag is steep
One feature that Power BI had was that, in addition to connecting to set platforms like Google Analytics, it could also connect to custom objects like an SQL database
If Google have been smart and kept up, I'd expect this to be a feature by now in Data Studio...

Looks like I was right!
This could make your life really easy as long as your rank tracking supplier provides an API for their tool. You can make requests to the API and build your own SQL database of that same data for your own records. The server holding the SQL database would have to regularly run API-based tasks to pull the data from your ranking supplier, into itself
Once that was done, you could then just connect to your SQL database via GDS
- You'd need a developer to build the database and the tasks which updated it (API fetches)
- If your ranking supplier changed their API significantly you'd have to pay to get it updated
- You'd need to pay to host your database online somewhere
Other than that... Seems like a good solution. Sorry it's not super cheap and simple - though!
Even if your ranking supplier provides back-end exports only and no API, you can still do what you want. You'd just have to create a script that uses a headless browser to export the data and then push the CSV exports to your database. Again you'd assuredly need a developer's help! Using something like Python's Selenium or Windmill modules might be feasible
Hope that helps

I have not used it, but Supermetrics, an add-on for Google Sheets and Google Data Studio, has a Moz database connector. they have a free trial to see if it works out for you.

Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading
Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

Are we actually getting accurate data on keyword volumes from Moz (or other sources)?
I have a client who does patio furniture repair and restoration. When performing keyword research in Moz for terms like "patio furniture repair" I see that only 11-50 people in the entire US are searching for this term according to the Moz data. However, running an Adwords campaign currently and our top keyword is the phrase match for "patio furniture repair" which has generated over 100 clicks in just a couple of months in ONE county. Is there a better way to research more accurate results on search volume estimates? This makes organic SEO and keyword targeting hard! Thanks, Ricky

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash
