Local SEO Rankings Report Tools (based on several locations)?
-
Hi,
Just a quick question.
I am looking for a Rankings Report tool that allows a user to not only provide a list of Keywords, but also a list of Locations for which to check Google UK's ranking results.
In practice, I would like to be able to enter 6 names of Towns next to my keyword list and get "localised results".
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers
Greg
PS: first Q within the Q&A, so please apologise for any potential "stupid questions" -
Thanks for clarifying things! It can look a bit odd to come to a two-year-old question on the day you join and have a link to a product with no context.

Pardon me Keri it's late and I forgot my manners! made an edit in the comment to correct this. Thanks!

Hi Ryan,
Welcome to Moz! I noticed your profile has Report Pro in it. If you're affiliated with a product you're recommending, it's a good policy to please disclose that in your answer. Thanks!

It sounds like the multi-location reporting your asking for here is close to what Report Pro does. Check it out here: https://reportpro.net/landing-page/
Edit: Full disclosure I have been good friends with the Report Pro guys for a long time and I have been helping them build out their reporting software. They originally helped me build Local SEO (Google Maps) reporting software for Voice Media Group and are now selling it to other local SEO companies.

I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I see you're still active here on the site, and wanted to let you know we now have a ranking tracking solution! Details are in our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics.

Hi Paul,
Just looked at some old Q&A of mine...
Whitespark.ca now offer a Local Rank Tracker
https://www.whitespark.ca/rank-trackerA bit pricey but does the job.

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your feedback. This confirms what I thought...
Proxies are obviously a simple but not easily scalable solution for whomever would want to create such a Rankings Report tool.
Looking forward to seeing somebody come up with a solution to this.
Cheers

The method Megan's suggesting would only provide info in cases where the searcher actually included the geographic modifier as one of the search terms, Gregory.
In order for a tool to provide the info as you want it, it would need to be maintaining proxies in all the possible cities one might want to get "local" search data from (i.e. search results as if the search was triggered from someone in that actual location.)
I'm not aware of any tool that provides that kind of data. I too would love to hear if anyone knows of such a thing.

Hi Megan,
Many thanks for your feedback.
Hmmm, can you please confirm that this would equate to having your browser (Google UK) set to this specific location? I have trouble believing that just adding the name of the city would generate similar results to actually doing a mobile search while in that specific city?
Again, many thanks in advance for your feedback...
Cheers

Hi Greg! This is Megan from the SEOmoz help team. If you start a campaign, our rankings section can track local rankings for keywords. You would just need to enter the keywords separately with each of the towns you're interested in. For example, if I wanted to track local rankings for 'pizza' in different cities in the Northwest, I would need to enter the keywords like the following:
portland pizza
seattle pizza
olympia pizza
tacoma pizza
Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with other tools that will track local rankings, but hopefully this will help!
Cheers!

Why Do Different Tools Report 404s Differently?
Hi Mozers, How come Moz reports just six 404 errors, whereas Google Search Console reports 250 and Screaming Frog only reports a dozen? It seems to me that these results are all over the place. Shouldn't these reports be more consistent? I do understand that Search Console includes historical data and that URLs or issues need to be "marked as fixed" in order for them to go away, however, even if I do this, Google ends up reporting far more errors than anything else. Do 404s reported by Moz and Screaming Frog NOT include external links? It seems to me that this could be partially responsible for the issue. Also, is there a way to efficiently track the source of the 404s besides clicking on "Linked From" within Search Console 250 times? I was looking for something like this is Moz or SF but no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanksabunch!

SEO impact of redirecting high ranking mirror site to the main website
During SEO audit for a client I noticed that they had over a dozen duplicate websites that are carbon copies of the main website. This was done via CMS platform and DNS. One of the mirror sites has about 400 indexed pages and has Moz DA of 42 and 137k External Equity-Passing Links. Full metrics comparison is attached. I originally planned on doing rel="canonical" on the mirror site but the CMS vendor never even heard of it and is refusing to implement it in the header. My only other option is doing one to one 301 redirects. Since the mirror site ranks well, even competes with main domain for some positions on the 1st page of SERP, what will be the impact after the redirects? Is doing 301's still the best option? Thanks!

Rank tracker based on personalization or not?
I have been using the rank tracker to update clients on their current positions/improvements etc. but have been told a number of times now that the results they were seeing were not the same. Does the rank tracker work by giving results based off my location or from somewhere else or what? I should mention that I am based in Malta and my clients are based in the UK and Italy (with their sites being optimized for local keywords) I also ask them to clear their browsing history and to restart their browser before they check.

Which Google API do you use to creat a rank checking tool?
I can't seem to work this one out. Basically I want to make a very simple rank checker tool something similar to http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ranking-reports/ where a user simply type in a domain and a keyword and in return is shown the position within the results. The problem is I can’t work out which API's I need in order to build it, does anyone know what I need to poke about with? It must work with Google and ideally with Bing and the rest
