After running my first campaign, what should I tackle first?
-
I'm in the 30 day trial period of SEOMoz Pro. Ran my first campaign and there are many improvements to be had across the board. Looking for some sort of guidance as to what I should focus on first.

You're welcome Randy, am glad to have helped
The Pro Tools are excellent, the guide should help to get the most out of them. Work through it in whatever order seems logical and most apt for your site.

Exactly what I was looking for. The Pro User Guide was going to be my next question but you've beaten me to the punch. Thanks!

Hi Randy
I'd suggest checking out and working through the SEOmoz Pro User Guide, which can be found at http://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20027997-campaign-set-up
As your campaign is already setup, start by looking at Crawl Diagnostics and addressing any issues there, then check out the Rankings Report to see how your SEO endeavours are doing (helps if you have visitor numbers as well from Google Analytics linked-up).
From there, look at your On-Page Reports, then your Link Analysis.
After you are comfortable that your site is in great shape, start looking at Competitor's sites strengths and weaknesses and your Off-Page SEO (the all important inbound links, which of course requires great content on your site to gain maximum benefit from this).
That should get you off to a great start.
Regards
Simon

There are a lot of different things you can focus on to improve your SEO results, Randy, and this is my personal preference as far as order:
- Keyword research - make sure you're optimizing for the right keywords that you can realistically rank well for
- On-page optimization - make the code and content changes necessary to improve your SEO results
- Off-page optimization - build those relationships and get those back-links that help the search engines see your site as an authority site
Use the SEOmoz Pro tools for each of those areas and I think you'll start seeing good results in your charts.
I hope that helps!

Rankings confusion in pro campaign
Hello Moz-world! I recently set up a new campaign, and the crawl is still in the process of wrapping up (been 4 days). When I look at my rankings it tells me "not in the top 50" then when I scroll over, it shows me that my client is ranking in position 3, in the instance of one keyword. Anyone know why there is a discrepancy between what the report shows, and what it shows when you mouse over the rankings? Thanks! Tyler

Ideal Campaign Set Up For Multiple Landing Pages Post Panda
I have a local floor cleaning business in the UK. I have various discrete services e.g. carpet cleaning, stone restoration and polishing (a page for each type of stone) that are delivered in distance geographical service areas. Each page is set up to target a "town/service" keyword. In each geographical location I have different competitors Should I set individual campaigns for each landing page or is one site wide campaign the way to go. Many thanks David Allen

One page per campaign?
Not quite sure if I read correctly, but is it correct that one campaign tracks only one page of my site? So if I wanted to track something like a services page, this would require a second campaign?

SEOMoz Campaign shows Warnings for pages with >200 and <300 links
We currently use SEOMoz's campaign tool to review the SEO progress of our site. One thing we are unsure of is that SEOMoz gives us a warning for over 1000 of our pages because we have around 200 links on those pages (all in the Menu Drop Downs). I read the post and watched the video, Whiteboard Friday Flat Site Architecture a while ago and Rand mentioned there is no issue with having a web page with 200 to 300 links and he even encouraged it. So why would these show up as warnings in our Campaign?
