Page title not being read
-
Hi all I have been testing my site with the Moz on page grader recently and every page seems to come up with the same issues. The keyword doesn't seem to be in the title tag or the title tag isn't there.
Could anyone tell me why this is?
This is an example of a page it is happening on https://www.sbat.com/tips/todays-free-horse-racing-tips
I used several versions of the Keyword including
free horse
Racing tips
Horse racing tips
and it seemed none of these were picked up.

Hmm, that is weird that they are not showing up. I would try submitting the URL into Google's URL submitter: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url
Hopefully by doing this, Google (and Moz) will index the correct title tags so when you use the Moz Page Grader it pulls the most accurate information.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for providing that additional information and I apologize for the delay.
I had a chance to look into this further and it looks like it is recognizing that you have these keywords in the Title, it's just making some additional suggestions around the placement of the keywords.
For example, when I ran a search in the On-Page grader for the URL https://www.sbat.com/tips/todays-free-horse-racing-tips and the keyword of "racing tips", the only thing it's returning a suggestion on is the placement of the keyword in the Title tag to be at the beginning. I also ran this same search in the Page Optimization tool within your campaign and the same suggestion came back there as well. It is recognizing that that keyword exists in the Page Title, however: http://screencast.com/t/04pn1vTDPUi and http://screencast.com/t/RQQDuo9CqF
I hope this helps! Please let me know if there's anything else I'm able to assist with.

This page should be crawled daily as it is updated daily. The title tags have been in the code for 2/3 months.
Thanks for looking though

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. It'd be helpful to know what keyword you were using to check your page with on the On-Page Grader in order to troubleshoot this for you. Can you update this post with that Keyword and I'll be happy to take a further look for you!
Thank you,

How long ago did you add that title? That page was cached by Google today, and the title shows up in search results. If you added it recently maybe MOZ hasn't picked up the change yet.

Page Optimization Error
Hi, I am trying to track a page optimization feature for one of my project, https://www.writemyessay247.com for keyword: write my essay but i keep getting this below error: "Page Optimization Error There was a problem loading this page. Please make sure the page is loading properly and that our user-agent, rogerbot, is not blocked from accessing this page." I checked robots.txt file, it all looks fine. Not sure what is the problem? Is it a problem with Moz or the website?

Why isn't the Moz crawler getting all of my item pages?
I am stumped and Moz is being terrible to work with. This site has about 40k pages 39,800 of them are item pages roughly. Moz is only finding about 2400 of my pages. So they are missing most but not all of my item pages. I do not know which item pages they are missing. The fact that they are finding about 2k but not the rest leads me to believe the crawler is struggling with pagination. The site is built on Magento 2 and uses the Amasty Layered Navigation extension. Does anyone have any ideas?

Why do I get different results with On-Page Grader and Page Optimization tool? What is the difference between these two tools?
I use the Page Optimization tool to evaluate and make updates to a page until I get a grade of "A." But when I add the page and the keyword to the Page Optimization section of my campaign, it scores a 76% or 85% (which looks like a C or B to me). What would account for the difference in the evaluation results? Thanks for your help!

On-page SEO in Shopify
Can I successfully perform on-page SEO in Shopify much like I would in a WordPress website? Reasons why I am asking: No plugin I know of like SEO-All-in-one, yoast or any plugin I know of.... URL is www.yourwebsite.shopify.com - Will my on-page efforts be fruitless with this kind of URL. Will the MOZ 'on-page grader' work properly with pages at www.yourwebsite.shopify.com or www.yourwebsite.com? Any Advice, pitfalls of performing on-page and off-page SEO in Shopify? Can you recommend an SEO plugin/APP for Shopify? Will I need a developer/coder to perform SEO in Shopify - Title and Descriptions? Best tool to find long-tail keywords? Thanks. JOE

Duplicate Page and Title Issues
On the last crawl, we received errors for duplicate page titles and some duplicate content pages. Here is the issue: We went through our page titles that were marked as duplicate and changed them to make sure their titles were different. However, we just received a new crawl this week and it is saying there are even more duplicate page title errors detected than before. We're wondering if this is a problem with just us or if it has been happening to other Moz users. As for the duplicate content pages, what is the best way to approach this and see what content is being looked at as a "duplicate" set?

Domain.com isn't recognized by on-page-grader, but domain.com/index.php is
I am running a website through On-page-grader, as www.domain.com and scores an "F" for a specific keyword. When it's ran as www.domain.com/index.php, it scores an "A" for that same keyword and has everything checked other than "keyword in the domain name". There are no other files such as index.htm, or index.html that would interfere and can't figure out why this page is not being recognized. I checked, the robots and .htaccess file, but do not see anything that would hinder. Could this be a server issue?

Duplicate content - Which is the other duplicate page?
Hi I just ran a campaign, and I got a duplicate content warning for some of my pages. When I go into the diagnostic report, I am unable to find the page detected by google as 'duplicate' to the main page. Unless I know which 2 pages are being detected as duplicate, it'll be really difficult to actually solve the problem. Would be great to have any kind of help here. Thanks in advance!
