Location National vs. Country - Different Ranking
-
Why is the ranking for a keyword different for the locations National and for example Austria ... both should bring the ranking for the whole country, but often they are different?

Hi Sam!
Thank you for your reply and I understand what you mean. But in this case you should not allow to pick Austria as a location because as a user this lets me think, that I will get the data for Austria. I can find Austria and Vienna in the same location list to pick from, so I was assuming that it will give me Austria as a location.
One more question - when will the Keyword Research - Explore by Site tool be available for Austria / Germany? There are only four countries to choose from right now.
Ciao - Markus

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So the thing is, our volume service doesn't understand Austria as a location - it only understands it as a search engine. They are different in that a location can be tracked in any search engine, so for example someone in Austria can still use google.com. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any other questions!

How can I print out the keyword ranking chart?
I have been working diligently on these keywords. Not a lot of them but trying to get very specific. I have one that has traditionally been very high for our site and in one day it dropped from 2 to past 50+ when I reviewed the history I was unable to find any place to print or download the graph for the history or any place to print a report for our keyword rankings.

Location specific MOZ Ranking changes - How to track them
Hi All, I have asked this question before here but haven't got any convincing answers. And now I am starting to see this in couple of my other projects . I'm not sure how many facing similar issue like mine but its bit tricky. Our company is based in Melbourne,Australia and we set MOZ campaign setting to google.com.au . The weekly moz ranking for one of the client keyword showed as Position Rank#29. But when I Checked Manually it is Ranking #3. So why does the moz show as 29 ? **Keyword: **car exhaust Website: www.professionalexhaust.com.au To Replicate, I set the google search to google.com.au and on Search Tools I changed location as **Australia ( by default its set to Melbourne ). **When I did search now my result came in Page 3 - No.29 rank. Note: By default the Google browser picks the location as Melbourne and gives localized result which is not tracked by MOZ. Now how do I track this in Moz to show localized ranking results which my customer see. I cant report this ranking to client, else I have to do a manual report which is time consuming . Note : This is Tested in InCognito mode with all cache cleared.
