Is there a way to download a report showing all meta descriptions for our web pages?
-
I see how to look at data for web pages with meta descriptions that have been flagged as being less than optimal. Is there a way to do a complete download of the meta descriptions on all our pages? (good meta as well as not so good) Thanks! Lydia

Absolutely, there are a few ways you can gather meta descriptions for your web pages. One method involves using tools like Screaming Frog or Sitebulb, which crawl your site and generate reports containing various SEO-related information, including meta descriptions. These tools can export reports in different formats like CSV or Excel, allowing you to analyze and review your meta descriptions easily.
Alternatively, if you have access to your website's backend or content management system (CMS), you might be able to extract meta descriptions directly from there, either through built-in reporting features or by exporting the necessary data.
Would you like more specific guidance on using any particular tool or method?

Hi Lydia - Dave from Moz support here.
If you have a Site Crawl or On Demand Crawl of your site. You can export a CSV of your "All Crawled Pages". This will include a column of Meta Descriptions for each page crawled. This export will also include information of other data that we report on.
We hope that helps, if you have further questions on this, feel free to reach out to help@moz.com.
Thanks!

Hey Lydia!
You can simply perform a site crawl using using Screaming Frog. From there, you can select the "Meta Descriptions" tab and click "Export" which should provide you with all of your site' meta descriptions.

My company has about 70 live pages. Moz crawled 6k. Why?
My company has about 70 live, published pages on our website, which is managed through HubSpot. When Moz crawled the URL, it found 6K+. I noticed several were URLs with a campaign tag. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me. If there's a problem, how do I fix it?

Backlinks not showing on Open Site Explorer's Just-Discovered Links
Hi guys! My name is Edgar. I've recently been adding a bunch of backlinks to the site i work for, and most of them have a very high DA (DA > 80. Wohoo!). Nevertheless i'm often feel a bit frustrated when i check my site with the OSE, because just a few part of these links are showed in the just-discovered section, although i created them few days ago. So, i would like to know why is this happening, how long it take for my links to get crawled, and when can i stop getting frustrated on this? Than you very much! Edgar.

Confused about the link metrics showing up in MOZ & OSE
For my campaign "itelligence Applications" which is for site itelligencegroup.com/uk/ - MOZ seems to be giving me different stats on links, depending on which tab I look it in the Link Analysis section. Then when I look at OSE, the numbers are totally different again, not just a little bit different. Example: In MOZ Link Analysis, on the "inbound links" tab, it says there are 129 Root Domains and 6832 Total External Inbound Links. If I then look at the Competitive Metrics screen, it says there are 46,284 external followed links and 240 total linking root domains. If I then go to OSE for the same site, it says there are 14 Root Domains and 686 total links. I have no idea why these numbers vary so much or how to even report them to my client. Am I missing something here? Any help would be gratefully received! Maureen

Open Site Explorer doesn't show local directories or citation links?
Why is it that when I run a link analysis for my local business sites I don't see any links from Yelp, Google+, Facebook, any local citations? Regardless of them being follow or no follow isn't the hyperlink to a website from a Yelp profile considered a link? Same with any other local business directory? I know the company is listed on a few dozen because I can see it manually but it's not showing up in Moz? Why is it that all local directories and citations with website are omitted? And since it is not there, where is a good place to go to discover these things? I have tried whitespark. It was okay but honestly I wasn't terribly impressed. The data was good, the UI was just okay, but with smaller clients it was an initial check and then very occasional checks that needed to happen. We would go months without using it.

Moz & Other Sites Not Showing in Link Profile?
I'm curious to know why Moz, YouTube, G+ and some other links are not showing the OSE link profile as NOFOLLOW or DOFOLLOW for our website whiteboardcreations.com? When doing analysis, we see a lot of companies YouTube pages with their NF link and G+ page links and even see a lot of the Moz community members with their Profile pages showing the NF link or the DF links. I'm confused as to why OSE is not picking up any of our links from those respective sites. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. - Patrick
