Does Moz Analytics need Google Analytics installed?
-
I have a few websites on my Moz Analytics account but only have data for one of them.
All my other accounts keepy saying come back in 24hrs for more data, although there is no data available.
Do I need to connect each account with Google Analytics before Moz populates its own analytics?

Hi David!
Correct - if you wish to see traffic data, you will need to connect GA to each of your Moz Analytics campaigns.
If you do not have a GA account for each campaign, then you still be able to see other data and metrics about your campaign, for example links data, mentions, crawl data, and any social accounts you have connected.
If you have connected a GA account to your campaign and you are not seeing data appear, that might be a different issue. I would recommend disconnecting GA from the affected campaigns and then re-connecting. If this doesn't work then let our help team know and we can help you debug.
Thanks!

Yes and no, no its not needed, but there is some extra data that they get from GA, such as traffic data, such as number of visits, keywords sending visits.

Hi David,
As far as I can tell, a campaign does not have to have GA connected to it. But it behaves differently when it does. Also weird things happen when old Moz Pro campaigns are viewed in the Moz Analytics dashboard. Here's what I am seeing in my MOZ account...

Moz Analytics and Moz Pro behave very differently.

a week ago I created a quick campaign in Moz Analytics just to test something, I did not associate it with any Google Analytics account. It has data in it now, but not as much as other campaigns that are associated with a GA account.
-
also a week ago I re-activated some old Moz Pro campaigns that do not have GA associated with them. They now appear in the Moz analytics dashboard - but with the spinning icon and the "We are collecting your data now. Check back within 24 hours" mesage.
-
to view those old Moz Pro campaigns in functioning manner, I have to skip the Moz Analytics dashboard and view them through the old Moz Pro dashboard which is here http://pro.moz.com/campaigns/
Hope this helps you.

Hi David,
Ofcourse it does, you will need your GA ID so MoZ can drag the data from your web site. I doubt there is a service out there that doesnt need GA or code installed in order to provide you with data.

Attempts to fix MOZ recommended issues resulted in drastic ranking drop.
I have a website built in SquareSpace. https://www.ruffhaus.com/ I recently started working with MOZ to track and improve organic SEO. After my initial site crawl, search visibility was reported at a waping 2.38%. Moz showed several critical crawler issues. Most were redirect, 4xx and long URL. So I started working on fixing the redirect and 4xx issues first. I thought this was a good thing. But now my already sad search visibility has dropped to .07% (-95.97%!). I also went from #1 on keyword, brand implementation plan (and 3 variations), to #27. What? Wondering where I went wrong and how to remedy? This is all new to me so I am sure I'm not providing all the info you need to answer my question. Hoping providing the site URL will help. Fire away!

Moz Not Crawling Angular SPA
I have a client that just launched a redesigned website using Angular as a single page app. Google appears to be able to crawl the site just fine, but Moz crawl is only finding one page. We have updated the htaccess to allow for Rogerbot and Dotbot, but still unable to crawl any pages other than the home page. Does anyone have experience with this or ideas of why it won't crawl all pages, and how to allow for Moz to crawl all pages? There is a sitemap with approx. 390 pages. Thanks!

Clarifications on the Moz Analytics package (Medium - $149 per month)
What are the Moz tools available with this package? What factors of SEO can be checked with these tools? With this package, is it possible to provide a single URL (preferably home page) and Moz will analyse the entire site and highlight how the site performs wrt various SEO factors? This package states that with this package we can run 10 Moz Analytics campaigns. Our understanding of Moz Analytics Campaign is every site; say www.test.com is one analytics campaign. Are we correct? Does the subdomains within a parent domain also considered as one analytics campaign. For e.g., if I have sites: www.mydomain.com and www.xxx.mydomain.com are they considered two separate campaigns or are they considered as one single campaign? In this package it is listed as 750 keywords, what does this signify? In what way this feature can be used to check our site’s SEO compliance. Please elaborate. In this package it is listed as 15 social accounts, what does this signify? In what way this feature can be used to check our site’s SEO compliance. Please elaborate. What do you mean by branded reports?

Trying to connect Google Analytics account But it's not listed in the drop down box
I'm trying to connect a Google Analytics account but when I go through the drop down box with our list of clients it doesn't show up. It is listed in our agency Analytics account. We have 30+ accounts on GA. Any reason why the account wouldn't make it into the list? Thanks, ~Anjolie

How to authenticate Moz crawler so that others don't use Rogerbot useragent to scrape data from our site?
Is there any way to authenticate genuine Moz crawler. Because, our website keeps getting scrapping attacks and if there is no way to authenticate Moz crawler, then, any scraper can just set user agent as Rogerbot and scrape all our pages. Is there a fixed IP that can be used or any other customization that will help us authenticate and allow only Moz crawler to crawl our site. Looking forward to a solution to this problem. We haven't been able to use Moz crawler due to this issue.
