Rankings in Google UK
-
Hi everyone,
I've posted before on this and I'm still not satisfied that the answer is correct.
Basically, my ranking report is saying that hardly any of my keywords are ranking in the top 50 of Google UK.
Now, I appreciate that rankings can be affected by my search history, but I've tried other computers, other IP addresses, logged out of Google, cleared cache etc.. and I'm still seeing the terms I'm wanting to rank for on the first and second pages of Google UK.
What is going on? My boss is wanting to see progress with these terms - I'm confident that we're ranking well, but the report is saying otherwise.
-
My UK rankings are also all over the place. I cannot use SEOmoz reports for clients at the moment, it is very annoying. I had this problem a few months ago and then it was resolved, but the last two months reports have been incorrect for quite a few keywords.

Hey there,
Sorry about the confusing rankings!
I am going to migrate this over to ZenDesk and answer you there, since I will need to get some private information about your campaigns to be able to look into this for you.
Thanks,
Chiaryn

I'm not sure if I understood the problem correctly, but if you're still seeing your site on the first page of Google UK results and the report says that it doesn't show up for the given keywords in the top 50 then it its most probably due to your geo location and the fact that your business is closest for a given keyword to where you are browsing from.
In the left column of the google window you should see a few options - one of them should say : The web > Pages from the UK - if you try to click on 'Pages from the UK' and see if that solves the problem.

If you try SEOMoz's Rank tool(http://www.seomoz.org/rank-tracker), it is showing you correctly. I'd use that to manualy get your rankings for your upcoming report.
The tracker and reports are only run once a week, so they will probably reflect you correctly at that time as well.
What's most likly to have happoned is that when it was last checking your position in the SERPs fluxuated and it missed you. We've had a page or two drop out of the rankings briefly at times and it isn't something to worry about unless it persists.
-
Well I'm confident of the spelling and I'm definitely using Google UK. I suspect it's to do with the fact that we're a global company and I'm trying to rank for the UK part of the site (columbusglobal.com/en-GB).
We appear to be ranking for the UK page as is seen in the SERPs, so maybe something is wrong with how SEOMoz is set up to track the UK specific pages...?
The odd thing is when I first started we appeared to be ranking well and reports reflected this. Now the site has disappeared off the reports.
-
I know people in england at least use google UK. Not sure who uses GB
The rank tracker is showing you at position 5 as well, so presuming your report/campaign is set up correctly, it should show it as that after your next crawl.
If it's not, your likely problems are a mispelling, the wrong engine being used, or the campaign is set up for a certain sub-domain and the other sub-domain is apearing in the results.
Hopefully that should clear everything up. If not I'll try to answer all I can. Best of luck beating justfooderp.com... (Who probably didn't notice the 'derp' in their url)
-
Thanks for looking and yes we're position 5 - as expected.
I noticed there is Google United Kingdom and Google Great Britain.

SERPS for Food ERP softwere look like this to me. I do not know which site is yours, but if it's here, then it's possable that either the report/campaign is set up wrong, or at the exact time that the report was last made, the results fluxuated. Try using the rank tracker tool to get a fresh result (remember to change it to google uk and check 'Check Entire Subdomain'<label for="engine"></label>).

Thanks for your tip!
I've just tried Chrome in Incognito mode and straight away I'm seeing my site rank on page 1.
These are some of the terms. can you see them on Google UK?

Most of those methods are not foolproof. Using other computers, IP adreses and clearing your search history are not going to get you de-personalised results.
If you're going to look yourself, start a new 'incognito' window in Google Crome, and you should get completely de-personalised results.
If your still showing on page 1, double check your report. Make sure the search engine is set to google UK, and thta you are using the keyword exactly (letter for letter)
If all that fails, if your willing to provide the keyword, Someone here could probably try to confirm what you are experiancing.

How do you run ranks now for clients that aren't in your local area now that Google customizes search results based on location?
How do you run ranks now for clients that aren't in your local area now that Google customizes search results based on location? What tool/service have you found that gives accurate rank results? To me it seems like there is no guaranteed global #1position any more, or is this the situation for only certain types of searches? Likewise how can anyone tool give a global accurate rank score?

Page Rank Report says #6 in Google but I can't find the page anywhere
So SEOMoz says that I've consistently ranked #6 for a certain keyword. But when I search I'm no where to be found. I've done regular searches, incognito and some non-seomoz reports and all come up with nothing in Google. I noticed it a week or two ago, but didn't think it would continue. This is no bueno. I wouldn't be surprised if I got penalized (luckily my homepage relatively well for similar keywords), an old seo consultant used very spammy tactics. I recently removed them, but not before I started to notice that I fell off the map. Why would SEOMoz not recognize this, and continue to say I'm ranking well? The keyword is bpi building analyst the page is http://www.cleanedison.com/courses/bpi-building-analyst

Rank Report Not Updating
The ranking tool indicates that a new rank report will be generated every Tuesday. My last report was on November 15th. It is now November 25th. It missed last week. Should I report something wrong or is this normal? How do I keep it updating on a weekly basis like it's supposed to? I checked in settings to see if I had done anything wrong and couldn't find anything. Regards, Dino

Sudden decrease in Moz Page rank
Hello, We have a serious issue with 404s and recently saw our Moz Page rank fall from 53 to 47. 1. OSE Inbound links no longer shows any of our Linked In posts, did Linked In stop passing juice? 2. Does SEO Moz reduce your ranking when there's a sudden increase in 404s? 2a. WP Yoast SEO - I accidentally checked the box on this plugin to "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" which basically caused all of our blog post categories and Datafeedr categories to disappear. Didn't realize till too much time had passed that I accidentally clicked that box. Datafeedr is a plugin for our estore that parses the data feeds from affiliate vendors and allows you to create a saved search that auto updates old products every 3 days. I had a no index/follow parameter on the category items, but seeing the # of 404s continue to increase, I temporarily removed this parm last week to see if it reduces this now static number of 404s. Google Webmaster tools started showing a ton of soft 404s that kept increasing, while SEO Moz didn't show any of those 404s. I didn't pay much attention to GWT since Google kept saying it won't affect our rankings, and nothing was showing up on SEO Moz. Last week a fraction of those 404s showed up and I am not sure if that's what lowered our Moz rank or what looks like a possible delinking from Linked In and a higher ranking complimentary website directly related to our field itsallaboutyoga. Looking at the Moz graph of "Total Linking Root Domains Over Time" all of our competitors took a similar % hit since between June and the end of July, so I am thinking its more wide based than fat fingered mistake. I fixed # 2, (have to still figure out what to do with most of those 404s, thinking of submitting a request to Google vs 1,000s of 301s) so in doing my review of this sequence of events and using it as a learning experience, where would I assign max destructive value as a percentage? A. Ignoring GWT soft 404s in favor of SEO Moz campaign reports B. No follow from Linked In and related industry site C. Datafeedr, thousands of indexed products through Datafeedr that are no longer available mostly due to WP Yoast SEO fat finger error. I did have the D. WP Yoast SEO, "Strip the category base (usually /category/) from the category URL" E. Global Google algo change Cheers, Michael

SEOmoz Rank tracking
I think this tool is a bit off : ) This morning I checked my ranking for a keyword and every time I recheck it I see my results in a different place. I checked on word 5 times and got three different results. Is Google brocken or is the tracker doing its own thing? This is not the first time I am seeing this issue only today its really acting up. IMHO I think it would be best if the tool just says out of order 🙂 rather than 3, 10, 6 for one keyword phrase within ten minutes...

SEOMoz PR vs. Google PR
I have the SEO MozBar set up and for one of the sites we are maintaining, it is showing them on a 59 as PA in the MozBar. When I check it on Google PR, it has either no info or a 0. http://www.prchecker.info was one of the ones I found which shows them as 0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
