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,

If the mobile rankings for your website and your competitors have disappeared in Moz, but you are still seeing rankings in actual search results, there could be a few possible explanations for this situation:
Technical issue: It's possible that there is a technical issue or glitch within the Moz tool that is causing the mobile rankings to disappear. In such cases, it's recommended to reach out to Moz's customer support to report the issue and seek their assistance in resolving it.
Update or changes in Moz's data: Moz regularly updates its data and algorithms to provide the most accurate and relevant information.

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.

Massive unexplained organic traffic drop; disappeared from Google
Hi there,
Search Behavior | | katelynroberts
Our site has experienced a huge organic traffic drop, specifically from Google. The drop occurred on Feb 19 and I've got no clue why it happened. We have not made any significant changes to the website and it doesn't look like there was an algorithm update last week. We don't have any Google penalties or indexing issues noted, and the drop isn't specific to any particular segment/region/keyword. What am I missing? Any advice or insight is super duper appreciated. Our site is a Wordpress/WooCommerice e-commerce site with a blog and long-standing #1 ranks for keywords related to our main product offering. Screen Shot 2024-02-26 at 3.12.25 PM.png

English pages given preference over local language
We recently launched a new design of our website and for SEO purposes we decided to have our website both in English and in Dutch. However, when I look at the rankings in MOZ for many of our keywords, it seems the English pages are being preferred over the Dutch ones. That never used to be the case when we had our website in the old design. It mainly is for pages that have an English keyword attached to them, but even then the Dutch page would just rank. I'm trying to figure out why English pages are being preferred now and whether that could actually damage our rankings, as search engines would prefer copy in the local language. An example is this page: https://www.bluebillywig.com/nl/html5-video-player/ for the keywords "HTML5 player" and "HTML5 video player".

Put a 301 from /main to home page, now I'm panicking
Hi, Our website is 10 years old, but I only noticed last night we had a https://curveball-media.co.uk/main page which has some badly formatted copy on. I redirected (301) to the home page https://curveball-media.co.uk/ Then I had a slight panic that maybe this was the wrong thing to do and it should be like it was with the home page and the /main page. Should I have left it or did I do the right thing?

Unsolved Have we been penalised?
Hey Community, We need help! Have we been penalised, or is there some technical SEO issue that is stopping our service pages from being properly read? Website: www.digitalnext.com.au In July 2021, we suffered a huge drop in coverage for both short and longtail keywords. We thought that this could have been because of the link spam, core web vitals or core update around that time period. SEMRush: https://gyazo.com/d85bd2541abd7c5ed2e33edecc62854c

GSC: https://gyazo.com/c1d689aff3506d5d4194848e625af6ec There is no manual action within GSC and we have historically ranked page 1 for super competitive keywords. After waiting some time thinking it was an error, we have then have taken the following actions: Launched new website. Rewrote all page content (except blog posts). Ensured each page passes core web vitals. Submitted a backlink detox. Removed a website that was spoofing our old one. Introduced strong pillar and cluster internal link structure. After 3 months of the new website, none of our core terms has come back and we are struggling for visibility. We still rank for some super long-tail keywords but this is the lowest amount of visibility we have had in over 5 years. Every time we launch a blog post it does rank for competitive keywords, yet the old keywords are still completely missing. It almost feels like any URLs that used to rank for core terms are being penalised. So, I am wondering whether this is a penalisation (and what algorithm), or, there is something wrong with the structure of our service pages for them to not rank. Look forward to hearing from you

SEOMoz Ranking section only showing my Homepage
My competition has a few pages showing for each term, but only my homepage shows for those terms. My SEO shouldn't be so bad that no inner pages show. What's happening? Do I have something set up incorrectly?

Rank tracker based on personalization or not?
I have been using the rank tracker to update clients on their current positions/improvements etc. but have been told a number of times now that the results they were seeing were not the same. Does the rank tracker work by giving results based off my location or from somewhere else or what? I should mention that I am based in Malta and my clients are based in the UK and Italy (with their sites being optimized for local keywords) I also ask them to clear their browsing history and to restart their browser before they check.
