Keyword difficulty with Moz Pro
-
Hello,
I want to know how moz pro calculates the keyword difficulty? What are the basic things which moz pro consider while calculating keyword difficulty? Whenever i check my site(Sehhaty app) it shows different keyword difficulty. why so?
Thanks.

To chime in as well, you will strongly want to take into consideration what your PA and DA are, in comparison to that of the competition when doing SEO Keyword research. Using the Moz Pro tools is a wonderful place to start (IMHO), but to go one step further, then take the top performers in Moz Pro, and actually look at the SERPs for those in Google to see if your page can outperform the competition.
Hope this helps.

Hey there!
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Great question! Keyword Difficulty takes into account the Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) scores of the sites ranking on the first page of Google for the given query. We also modify intelligently for the projected click-through-rate of a given page. This puts more weight on higher-ranking, more visible pages and less on lower-ranking, less visible pages. The formula also accounts for newer pages on powerful domains that may have DA scores but have not yet been assigned PA values.
You can read more about the Keyword Explorer Metrics in our Guide.
Feel free to reach out to help@moz.com if you have any further questions,

Canonical url does not seem to be recognised by Moz
Hey guys, forgive me... brand new user of Moz. Moz is telling me I have duplicate url's - a lot of them. Investigating I see that it is classing http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd?tag=lake as a duplicate of http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd even though there is a canonical tag in head as follows I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice would really be appreciated 🙂 Mike

When does Moz update campaign data with new timeframe ?
Hi, I joined Moz community on last week and discovered an amazing tool. I set up my first campaign and I am getting information for a timeframe that's going from 7 to 13 of March. I believe that new data for 14 to 20 of March should be available but I didn't get any update. So, when is Moz supposed to update campaign data with fresh information ? Thanks in advance for such a dumb question. Sébastien
