What is the best tool to track US positions from the UK?
-
We are currently tracking the rankings of a US-based client (we are UK-based) and it appears we are seeing some considerable differences in positions.
To check ranks we often use Fat Rank which can be set to a US-based search and a manual search on Google.com. However, our American client is receiving different results (actually higher positions than we have recorded!) and is claiming to have used both a manual check on Google.com and the following tool.
http://smallseotools.com/keyword-position/Would anybody be able to tell me how accurate this tool is regarding US-based positions?
We’ve since made use of the tool too and it adheres to the rankings that the US-based client is claiming – rather than our checks using Fat Rank and Google.com. -
I agree with Jesse you are already a Pro member and the ability to track keywords in the SERPS comes with your complete package.
I would use
http://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker
or
This is a fantastic tool it allows you to check almost every country on the map except for North Korea and even get as granular as by zip code
This link will take you to the free check however you will have to enter it manually and you must sign up for the trial and then pay for the software after 30 days to continue tracking rankings all over the world.
https://serps.com/tools/rank_checker this is free
You can also use the trial versions and keep in mind you must pay after 30 days both of the tools here
https://serps.com/

can give you the zip code level searching. I utilize Moz, SERPS & AuthorityLabs I find it very comforting to have that ability and honestly most of it was from interest in which was better at what and what made them different. I would recommend connecting Google analytics to all of them
The only time I would not use Moz is an extremely rare occasion where local matters a lot for instance you want the zip code of whatever country or state has the answer you're looking for lies in whatever countries Providence, broken into zip code via state or ProvidenceI would then consider using
SERPS.com they have a free tool as well that will allow you to check your zip code rankings in any country for free however you must sign up and use the trial than pay if you wish to track them.
I also agree search metrics & sistrix are outstanding tools and unfortunately is not free but will do the job as well.
Great answers everyone.
Sincerely,
Thomas -
searchmetrics & sistrix are international tracking tools used in Germany... but not for free

Well... I'd use the Moz Rank Tracker but that may be too obvious seeing as how we're on the Moz forums and all. But just in case: http://moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker

Lack of UK Keyword Volume Data In Moz
Is it just me or is there a considerable lack of keyword Volume data for UK Google search terms on Moz? I have 53 keywords and not a single one has any keyword volume data - these are not obscure terms and include the following as examples... leather satchel, leather laptop bag, satchels, leather bag, leather backpack, leather school satchel. Without this information aren't a lot of the services offered by Moz rather academic as it is impossible to know which terms are really worth targeting. What is the solution? I could use US data and hope it is similar but this seems close to a deal breaker for UK subscribers.

Editing Keywords in Moz Keyword Tracking Under Campaigns
Hi all, Some questions for Moz Pro Campaigns Setup Q1
Moz Bar | | SP1
As part of Moz Pro, we've created a campaign to track a set number of keywords and it seems that 2-3 of the keywords have been entered as a misspelling so I wanted to know how I can edit them to be corrected? Under "Add & Manage Keyword" I do see the keywords however do I need to click on "Show More" in order to scroll over to the keywords I need to edit / correct? Q2Eager to know if duplicated keywords are omitted when they are entered into the campaign. So if someone had entered in "abc123" twice in the list of 600 keywords will the 2nd instance of abc123 be removed when the keyword list is submitted into Moz? Cheers,

Moz Conversion Tracking
Is there a place here on Moz where goals and conversions can be set up or viewed? If the latter, does Moz just take the data from Analytics? Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks,
