How to force MOZ crawlers to search in the right area for local SEO
-
We do local SEO over here and so our keywords are always followed by a city name, like so: "auto repair+Springfield". If there's ever any confusion within SERPS which "Springfield" the searcher is looking for we can depend on Google to pull query location to assume it's the nearest to them (it does, and is usually correct). And furthermore, if the office ever needs to check for rankings by hand (we're not in Springfield), we just set the query location to "Springfield" and our results match their. However, MOZ doesn't set a query location. Which makes sense, I suppose, because their crawlers are up in the Bay. What I'm saying is that oftentimes there's a discrepancy between how MOZ tells me they rank, and how I see them ranking, the business owner sees them ranking, and how the customer finds them ranking. As such, we can't send them reports through MOZ
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Should the keyword be followed by a zip code instead of a city name? This seems like it would solve the location query problem but it may not provide the same results as service+city name.

I have assigned a Moz Pro seat to someone but they can't access a campaign's rankings report?
Howdy, I'm the record administrator on a Moz Pro record. I have alloted a seat to a consultant who's accomplishing some work for me and they state they can't get to a mission's rankings report? The deal with client's segment shows them as grabbing a chair permit? It's been given and acknowledged by them? Thanks vape juice

Moz Email Subscriptions
Hi Mozzers! We recently had someone leave our company who managed a lot of the Moz stuff we were doing and I have now taken over their role. I have been forwarded their emails and they keep receiving information from Moz such as the "Monthly Moz" and "Upcoming Mozinars", which is great, except I want those emails to now be sent directly to me. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to subscribe to these emails through our Moz profile - please help! Thanks! Sam
