Unsolved MOZ says number one but I don't see it!

MOZ Ranking says my site is ranked number one for a keyword, but when I Google it I don't see my site. Why?

Hi there AleCam!
There are some good suggestions here on where you can start to explore this, and the insight I have isn't going to be wildly different. Usually it comes down to a difference in timeframe of collections or a difference in how the rankings data is collected. So checking in live SERPs vs a tool can often show different results.
Because rankings can, and do fluctuate, it may be that what we gather one day, changes the next. There are changes going on constantly.The other difference can come down to how you're checking the rankings. As other folks have mentioned it could be a difference in mobile vs desktop, or local results and personalization. To add to that, many discrepancies in Moz Pro keyword rankings are caused by the way Moz is querying Google and other search engines. Our process completely strips personalization from the query. This means that it's more representative of a national average for all searchers in the country, but it also means that you may not be able to reproduce these exact SERPs within your browser because your location is factored into your search results.
If you're still having trouble and would like someone to look more closely at your account please do reach out to help[at]moz.com to speak to our support team.
best of luck! -

Unsolved Wild fluctuations in ranking, any thoughts on why or what to do about it?
We have a keyword which is important to us and used to have rock steady rankings for over a decade. Over the past 9 months or so it has been fluctuating all over the place. Jumping up or down 20 places or so overnight. Any thoughts on this behaviour and what we should be doing to stabilise the ranking?Screenshot 2024-05-13 at 09.47.jpg

HTTPS Move and Moz Campaign
We moved our site over to HTTPS this week and I was wondering if I need to create a new Moz campaign? I'm aware you can't change a website address in an existing Moz campaign, however the website listed in the current campaign contains no http//www. and seems to only be entered as example.com. Anyone have a suggestion for this?

Is there a tool to show me exactly how a search engine sees my pages?
Our site is very graphics heavy and I know the search engines aren't seeing it as humans do. Is there a tool (almost like Wirify) that can show me exactly how Google sees my page(s)? Thanks in advance. 🙂

Wild fluctuation in number of pages crawled
I am seeing huge fluctuations in the number of pages discovered the crawl each week. Some weeks the crawl discovers > 10,000 pages and other weeks I am seeing 4-500. So, this week for example I was hoping to see some changes reflected for warnings from last weeks report (which discovered > 10,000 pages). However, the entire crawl this week was 448 pages. The number of pages discovered each week seems to go back and forth between these two extremes. The more accurate count would be nearer the 10,000 mark than the 400 range. Thanks. Mark
