Unsolved Mobile Rankings for me and competitors disappear in Moz but still ranking.
-
Hi, I'm trying to create an SEO report for my client however their mobile rankings have completely disappeared for Google Mobile rankings. Competitors rankings have disappeared as well. Could this be a Moz configuration issue?

Hello,
I've encountered an interesting situation with Mobile Rankings on Moz that I could use some insight on. It appears that both my rankings and those of my competitors have disappeared on Moz's platform, despite the fact that we're still able to see our rankings on search engines. This discrepancy is quite puzzling, as the rankings are evidently there, but Moz isn't displaying them.
I wonder if anyone else has encountered a similar issue and if there's an explanation or solution for this situation. It's perplexing to witness rankings on search engines but not see them reflected on Moz's platform.
If anyone has experienced this before or has any suggestions on how to address it, I would greatly appreciate your input. We're all striving to make informed decisions regarding our SEO efforts, and this situation has definitely thrown a curveball.
Looking forward to your insights!
Best regards,

It's unlikely that this is a configuration issue with Moz or any other SEO tool, especially if you're seeing that the mobile rankings for competitors have disappeared as well.
If you're suddenly unable to see mobile rankings for any sites, it's more likely due to changes in Google's algorithms or policies. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Google has been moving towards a "mobile-first" indexing strategy for several years. This means Google predominantly uses the mobile version of the content for indexing and ranking.
There are a few potential explanations for what you're observing:
Google Update: There might have been an update from Google that has changed how they handle mobile rankings or mobile-first indexing, leading to a widespread change in mobile rankings.
Reporting Error: There could be an error in how mobile rankings are being reported, either on Google's end or within the tool you're using to track rankings.
Technical Issue: There might be a technical issue on your client's website or on the websites of their competitors that is affecting mobile indexing or rankings.
To determine what's happening, I would recommend the following steps:
Check Google's Webmaster Central Blog, SEO news sites, and SEO forums to see if there's been a recent update or change that could be affecting mobile rankings.
Check with Moz's support or help forums to see if they are aware of any reporting issues.
Run a technical SEO audit of your client's website to see if there are any issues that might be affecting mobile indexing or rankings.
If you still can't determine the cause, consider reaching out to a professional SEO consultant or agency for further assistance.

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

What Exactly is traffic lift?
Under the keyword gap analysis under the competitive analysis report, there is a mention of traffic lift and it provides a number. Does the number represent the number of users or the number traffic to expect for that term? Or is it the positions?

Increase in Rankings, but search visibility is decreasing
I just started updating my site with the very basics, focus keyword, meta description, and page titles. I see that I am going up in my targeted keywords, however my search visibility has dropped from 3.34% to 2.78%. My assumption is that my keyword choice is a little off, however I see that I have increased in keyword rankings and dropped very little in what I was ranking for previously, plus the keyword volume seems relatively the same. In fact I've added far more keywords than I have dropped. Curious why my search visibility has dropped, however my keyword rankings only seem to increase.

Ranking fluctuations from week to week
Over the past couple of months I have seen a couple of my campaigns have key phrases that change from week to week from being in the top 3 to being >51. I worked pretty hard on the sites to get them mostly #1 for their preferred key phrases, and haven't been working that hard lately, but not sure what to make of it. It looks as though those keyphrases that dropped this week to >51 will probably be back in the top 3. Makes it diffuclt when you are trying to prepare a report for your client. Any suggestions are welcomed, and Happy New Year!

Half of my backlinks just disappeared!
I was just starting to feel like I was getting traction and all of a sudden half of our external backlinks just disappeared! Over the past 4 months we've taken our total external links from about 2500 to 6500 and with the lastest report, we seem to have lost more than half and are now around 2100. Our domain authority has dropped accordingly too. I realize that backlinks aren't forever but what in the heck could cause you to loose over 4000 in a one month period? eK9w
