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! -

Domain keyword ranking
I used to use Searchmetrics (years ago) which enabled me to add in the domain name into their website, and it would provide all the keywords that rank for it. Does Moz do that do you know? Thanks

Big Ranking fluctuations
Hi all, 👉 we need your help/expertise. For a longer period of time we (https://bluebillywig.com) experience huge increases and decreases on a day/week ly basis for our keywords. We are moving from positions in the top 3 to positions in the top 50. The site has been fully screened for technical issues, indexation problems and we have also checked the positions of competitors (where we do not see the fluctuations). Example keywords where we see the issue: Gepersonaliseerde video Video content protection. See screenshots example bbw.png BBW-example.png If somebody has any suggestions, let us know.

Why is moz saying I have a 404 error?
I recently asked a question on here about how to fix my 404 error. I figured it out, and now webmaster tools says it's not there any more. This as been confirmed by keeping watch for about a week now. But Moz just crawled my site today and is for some reason showing an error. Am i missing something here or is Moz a little slow sometimes?

What gives Site is www.powerequipmentplus.com for those who want to look themselves. Thanks for your time and concern.

If my keywords aren't driving any traffic to my site, why am I still ranking for them?
In several of our campaigns we have watched our keywords steadily climb the rankings without ever registering so much as a blip in the traffic data column. If these keywords aren't driving any traffic to our site, how are we still ranking for them?

IP Location at a glance - Moz toolbar
I am using the latest version of the moz toolbar in my firefox browser. The IP location feature is not working for me as demonstrated in the article. "You will now notice a new button with a flag that shows up in the toolbar as you surf the web. This new toolbar addition shows the country where this site is hosted. Click on the flag to see more details about the location and IP address. If you want to learn more, click on the IP to access WhoIs information." My flag icon is depressed and looks like a US flag, even when I browse European sites. Also, I never see the location nor IP address of other sites. Am I missing a step or is the tool not working correctly?
