Hey there! Kristina from the Help Team here.
It sounds like you're referring to the Rank Tracker tool.
If so, we made some changes to the tool in our menus due to the announcement of us sunsetting the tool on June 8th. In case you missed it, you can read more about that announcement in this Q&A post here.
You can now access the tool by navigating directly to this URL: https://moz.com/researchtools/rank-trackeror by navigating to your Moz Pro Home option and then scrolling down to the available tools. I made a quick video here for you demonstrating this piece.
I hope this helps but certainly let us know if there's more we can assist with on this, and sorry for the confusion!
Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Here is the working link to our Crawl Errors resource guide if you're still needing it!

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Every Moz Local listing is powered by a verified Google My Business page or Facebook Places page, and we pull the business's name, address and phone number (NAP) directly from those pages. If you're interested in changing one of the elements of your listing's NAP, you would simply need to make the respective changes to your Google or Facebook page.
Once you've made the changes, Moz Local should automatically reflect those changes within a week or so and will begin distributing the new information out to our direct partners.
Hope that helps - if you have any further questions it may make more sense to contact our team directly by emailing help@moz.com so we can look at your specific listings if needed.
Thank you.

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here
Thanks for writing in and sorry to hear about the troubles with your MozBar. We've been seeing reports from other customers with the tool, as well, and have updated our Health Page to reflect the known issues we're seeing with the tool at this time.
There's a couple of steps we've seen work for others that might help you with your issue at this time. Can you please attempt these steps on your side and let us know if you're still seeing issues?
Clearing your cache and cookies of all Moz related data is a very important step since we've recently required authentication for the toolbar to function properly. If you are still having issues after that it means the problem is coming from our side and we'll have to wait for an update from our MozBar team.
Sending over the below information to help@moz.com that we can provide to our developers would be a huge help in their efforts on diagnosing the issue, so if the above steps don't work for you, can you please perform the following steps and send over this screenshot to us?
Thank you so much for your help, and for your patience while we work to resolve these issues. I look forward to hearing back from you about the above.

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
It is true to our Mozscape index is scheduled to update roughly once a month. Since Moz focuses on quality of links over quantity, we are always focused on the most relevant links to display to our users. It's possible that Moz's index will leave out some of the lower-quality (non-link juice providing) links out of our index because of this. So, that might explain why you may see some discrepancies with what other tools may be showing.
Just a few points on how we compile our index:
The idea here is that we're focusing on the highest-quality links we can find, coming from the most prominent pages of authoritative sites. So, while you may not see every link for a site within our index, we're aiming to report the most valuable ones available!
Most new sites and links will be indexed by our spiders and available in Mozscape and Open Site Explorer within 60 days, but some take even longer for many reasons - including the crawl-ability of sites, the number of inbound links to them, and the depth of pages in subdirectories.
You can see our most recently updated schedule here as well as some more technical metrics on our Mozscape API Updates page. You can also see when the last and next updates happened on the Open Site Explorer (OSE) homepage at any time.
I know this is a ton of information, so if you have any questions or if I didn't make anything clear enough, please don't hesitate to ask! And as always, you can reach our team by emailing help@moz.com anytime.
Thank you!

Hi Jake! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
It looks like you have a few campaigns, so it is difficult for me to look into what may be the issue here without a bit more detail. If you don't want to share which campaign you are referring to here, can you please email us at help@moz.com or click the blue message icon in the bottom right corner of your campaigns to send us the details of which campaign you had this issue on so that we can investigate further?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you,

The good news is that a recent update has been made, and we're ready to accept beta SNI customers to test it out. Please see the article here that explains this further: https://moz.com/community/q/moz-pro-our-web-crawler-and-sites-that-use-sni and if you're interested in being a part of the beta testing, the link to the sign up page is here: http://goo.gl/forms/LCvL9Ix8JDHfbAvr1
Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Unfortunately, none of our tools identify missing H1 tags in bulk. Our Page Optimization tool (https://moz.com/help/guides/moz-pro-overview/on-page-optimization) as well as our On-Page Grader tool (https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/on-page-grader) have this ability, but it will only process one page at a time.
I apologize as I'm sure you were hoping for a different answer! As always, you can direct questions of this nature to our team in the future by emailing help@moz.com, but I hope this helps!
Thank you,

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Sorry to hear about your DA dropping. The reasoning behind this can be hard to pinpoint without the help of an SEO consultant or the specific web designer for your website. Domain and Page Authority scores are both calculated using Moz's Ranking Models. In essence, we take a lot of rankings data from the search engines (by running queries) and then try to build a predictive scoring system using our own on-page analyses and Mozscape link data to construct an algorithm that will effectively reproduce the search engines' results. Our current accuracy hovers in the 70% range, but over time, we expect to improve.
Once we have a ranking model (which we internally call "uber"), we can create scores that best approximate the combinations of all our page-specific link metrics or domain-specific link metrics (removing the keyword-specific features like anchor text, on-page keyword usage, etc). These scores represent the model's query-independent or non-keyword-based ranking inputs.
In simple terms, Domain Authority is our best prediction about how content would perform in search engine rankings on one site vs. another. Page Authority answers the same question for an individual page. Both are amalgamations of all the link metrics (number of links, linking root domains, mozRank, mozTrust, etc.) we have into a single, predictive score.
It's important to note that both Domain Authority and Page Authority are on a 100-point, logarithmic scale. Thus, it's much more difficult to grow your score from 70 to 80 than it would be to grow from 20 to 30.
It is also important to note that if the higher authority sites that your site is seeded from drop in score, it will ripple down to all of the other links branched off from the very top. A good place to start is to compare the DA from the linking root domains from the previous index. Also take a look at your competitors scores to see how much they have dropped as well. As our indexes grow in size, there are more links that are included in our calculations.
We recommend keeping track of how many linking root domains you have from index to index, as this will be a quick way to confirm possible reasons for an increase/decrease in the score. For an in-depth discussion from Rand, check out this article: https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
I'm not sure if I'm understanding your full question, so please let me know if I'm missing anything.
Our Open Site Explorer tool (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/) is designed provide you a view of the link data for a particular page, a specific subdomain, or for the entire root domain of a site.
Here's a link to our Help Hub guide on the tool: https://moz.com/help/guides/research-tools/open-site-explorer for additional information.
As always, if you have specific questions about our tools you can always reach out to my team by sending us a note with the details of your question to help@moz.com, but hopefully this helps!
Thank you,

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Hi there! I'm sorry your site isn't showing up in Open Site Explorer yet. I'll try to explain a few reasons why this might be happening:
There are two types of link data we capture: external and internal linking pages. In order for us to discover backlinks to your site, we need to crawl the sites and pages linking to you. Once we can find those links, we will then be able to crawl your site to find pages you link to and so forth.
If you don't see any inbound links from external sites, there are a few things to check real quick:
If you don't see any internal links to your page:
Make sure we're not blocked from crawling this URL or site. If our web crawlers are blocked from crawling certain pages (i.e., with "noindex" or Robots.txt), they may not be included in the index.
For some more in-depth info, here's how we compile our index:
So, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update) then it won't show up in our index.
Other tools, such as Webmaster Tools, Ahrefs, and Majestic will alway show more link data as they target the quantity of links, while OSE focuses more on quality and Domain Authority. It’s best to use all the tools you can to obtain a full backlink profile; I've got a post here that details why and how that is: http://www.seobook.com/comparing-backlink-data-providers
Mozscape focuses on a breadth-first approach. Therefore we almost always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages, and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. However, deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates before we catch all of these.
We update once a month and you can view the next scheduled update here: http://moz.com/products/api/updates
Hope this helps provide some clarity. Please let me know if you have any questions!
The good news is that a recent update has been made, and we're ready to accept beta SNI customers to test it out. Please see the article here that explains this further: https://moz.com/community/q/moz-pro-our-web-crawler-and-sites-that-use-sni and if you're interested in being a part of the beta testing, the link to the sign up page is here: http://goo.gl/forms/LCvL9Ix8JDHfbAvr1

Hi there. Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. We noticed you sent in multiple emails to the Help Team on this issue as well and we've gone ahead and addressed this issue in one of your emails.
If there's anything else we're able to assist with, however, please do let us know!

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. Just as the helpful responses stated before mine, unfortunately at this time our crawler isn't compatible with Server Name Indication (SNI), which appears to be in use on your site (https://www.kitchenstuff.com). In general, SNI is a totally acceptable security configuration, but our crawler simply isn't equipped to be able to handle these settings.
If you are able to disable the SNI configuration on your site, then we should be able to crawl it normally. While it's something that we'd love to be able to accommodate for the future, we don't yet have the resources to be able to make those changes.
Also as mentioned previously by Dirk, this thread in our Community Q&A forum with lots of other users running into the same problem, so it's definitely something we're aware of and working to address: https://moz.com/community/q/804-https-ssl-error
We're sorry about the trouble & inconvenience this causes.
