Honestly, to get a proper answer people would need to know the site in question to do an audit themselves.

Would you be able to send me a dm with a copy of that email? I'm interested in larger sized automatic sites and trying to figure out where the limit is (and how yours isn't allowed when others are)

Ok, this one may be interesting, if it's none of these options below I'd love to take a deeper look, send me a dm on twitter: https://twitter.com/thomasharvey_me

So, I see that you're on Cloudflare, are you still being crawled by Google?

Have you looked in the old search console? Have you or anyone you work with done anything in the "remove urls" section?

Have you seen any change in crawl stats recently?

Any recent changes to the site that may have caused this?

I've been using them for the past few months and their offering is from what I can see is very good value. I've had a few issues with setting up and learning their platform (as well as actual bugs) however chatting to them on their live chat the issues have been resolved and also they've given credits to make up for their mistakes. So I'm a pretty happy customer of theirs.

The answer to this is actually quite simple, Moz and Google have data that's not as up to date as Screaming Frog, so Moz and Google can be reporting historical issues that you've resolved allowing them to have larger numbers reported. The other issue is sample size, so Moz for example may not have your complete site in their index, yet Google does.

"Also, is there a way to efficiently track the source of the 404s besides clicking on "Linked From" within Search Console 250 times? I was looking for something like this is Moz or SF but no luck."

As for that question, easiest way is through Screaming Frog as you're able to get "live" checks on your site (every time you crawl your site again). If you look at the attached image you'll see that I'm on the 404 response code, I've clicked on the URL I want to know where it's being linked from (Inlinks) and I've got a list of pages and then other information such as anchor/alt text.

Hopefully this helps you out.

I know you can get 10,000 through here: https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/pages

However, if not you can try a third party tool. Use something like screaming frog to get all the pages, then use the below tool to connect to the Moz api.

By page optimisation score, do you mean the webpage speed test? If so then it's not how well a page will rank, but instead a rating on your websites speed.

If they're from relevant pages (topics) from within your clients niche to your client, regardless of where in the world you shouldn't have a problem. The idea that where in the world two different sites are based has an impact on link value to me does not make sense. A post that's on a specific topic would have global value, an example would be architecture, they could be a UK based company who have done some great work, a newspaper in the US covers the opening of the building and links to the architect. The fact that they are in different companies is almost irrelevant. I have seen no case studies to show that anything else would be the case.

What a copywriter does best though is writing copy. Any time spent doing something like coding a blog post would not be an effective use of their time. It would probably be more cost effective to get the copywriter to do the writing and then get a web designer to design the blog post itself. Otherwise you're paying a higher hourly rate (if hourly, obviously) to a copywriter to do something they aren't efficient at.
