Competitor changed URL. What data do I lose if I update Moz settings?
-
One of my competitor's has changed their domain URL. I want to update this in the Moz campaign settings but I get a warning that all historical data will be lost if I do.
Is that really true? I replaced one of my competitors with another for a week and didn't seem to lose historical data.
Incidentally, could this be a feature request to allow more competitors to be tracked?
-
Boo. I am begrudgingly marking this question as answered.
Thank you for passing on the feature request, though.

Hi There,
I hope that everyone is having an excellent day! Although, it pains my heart to say unfortunately when a competitor is changed or deleted in Moz Analytics we will no longer retain historical data.
Your best bet in this case would be to create a new campaign to track the updated competitor and just have them run side by side until you are comfortable deprecating one for the other. Although we recognize that this is not ideal for many of our awesome mozzers until we come up with a more comprehensive solution this may be the best recourse.
Also, I will be sure to let our product team now about the desire to increase the number of competitors at the our next super awesome justice league meeting.
Let me know if this helps and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
Have a spectacular day!

I did get the same warning.
I want to track the competitor at their new domain. But I don't want to lose my historical data for that competitor.

hello Justin,
Last time, when you changed one of your competitors with another for a week,... did you get the same warning? what exactly are you doing?

Can Moz add an alert to email us when a competitor's site gets a new backlink?
This would be a very useful feature, and other sites are doing this, including Ahrefs.

Is there an API to download keyword data?
Howdy fellow Mozzers, We're tracking a client's keyword rankings in one of our campaigns and want to export that data on a regular basis to display in Tableau. Tableau let's us quickly match up different data sources and create visuals with the data. It's useful for marrying different data sources that don't normally talk to each other. We know we can pull keyword tracking data manually, but we're hoping there's an API or scheduler that we can use to download the data automatically. Automating the process would be super helpful. Thank you!

MOZ should add a toxic link checker tool to their incredible arsenal of SEO tools. Seems like a no brainer.
Checking the health of a back links especially on new accounts is crucial. MOZ wants to be a one stop SEO tool shop and I think this would certainly go a long way in cementing that.
