Welcome to the Q&A Forum

So the community is aware, I wrote into Moz for clarification on this and the response was:

Unfortunately it would not be possible to retroactively investigate why we were not previously picking up on these issues as I can only see your site as it is now.

So....either Moz software has a bug, or is not actually crawling sites in their entirety as they say they are. It's one or the other...

Thanks Meghan; I've sent an email in with 3 examples from 3 different campaigns.

I'm not sure what logic Moz is using for its reporting of Site Crawl issues, but it appears to be pretty flawed (unless I'm missing something, which is possible).

I've got a client site that has been in Moz for about 6 months now. Every time the crawler runs, the same number of pages are reported as having been crawled. However I'm consistently getting "New Issues" reported that should have been reported during previous crawls.

Example: A redirect chain was reported several month ago. The referring URL was the homepage of the website, and we tracked it down to an old link in the header. This was fixed, marked as resolved, and the issue was not shown on the next crawl. Several weeks later, the same issue was reported for a different page on the website - a page which has existed since 2014 and was already crawled many times. Again, we fixed. Fast-forward to the report that just ran on 12/1 and we have the same issue reported, for a different page, which has also existed for years and has been previously crawled.

It's very hard to explain to a client "this item you are seeing has been resolved", only to have it continually crop back up in future reports. Note this is not limited to redirect chains - that's just an example. I'm seeing this for other items such as missing canonicals, duplicate titles, etc.

Thanks for the response Eli. Understood, but it just seems strange as this has been requested so many times. And now with a 20% price increase coming on August...As developer for 18+ years I would think this would be a fairly straightforward enhancement - although I say that without knowing how your back end is structured.

Thanks for the update,

It seem that having the ability to Add users to your account and limit which campaigns they have access to, has been a big feature request for several years now. Is there an actual roadmap/ETA to implement this? I love Moz but I have no use for 10 additional users if I can't limit what campaigns they receive updates on.
