MOZ Site Crawl - Ignore functionality Request
-
I now understand that the ignore option found in the MOZ Site Crawl tool will permanently remove the item from ever showing up in our Issues again. We desire to use the issues list as kind of like a To-Do checklist with the ultimate goal to have no issues found and would like to "Temporarily Remove" an issue to see if it is shows back up in future crawls. If we properly fix the issue it shouldn't show back up.
However, based on the current Ignore function, if we ignore the issue it will never show back up, even if the issue is still a problem.
At the same time, the issue could be a known issue that the end user doesn't want to ever show back up and they desire to never have it show again. In this case it might be nice to maintain the current "Permanently Ignore" option.
Use the following imgur to see a mockup of my idea for your review.

Hi folks!
Jo from the Moz help team here, you can now choose to mark issues as Fixed!
When you mark issues as "Fixed" we'll check back when your campaign next updates (or you force a recrawl) to see if it persists.

Samantha,
Excellent. I appreciate the consideration. Hopefully this is something that others will also find value from.
NOTE: my mock-up would only be one approach. There are other methods that might be more user friendly. -
Hi there,
Thanks so much for writing in and for providing us with such great feedback! The crawler is very new, and we're definitely always seeking ways to improve it so suggestions like yours really help. I'll pass on this feedback to our development team so we can consider it as something we may want to implement in the future:).
Let us know if we can help with anything else!
NOTE: Things have changed since my last response - you can also now mark issues as 'Fixed' within the Site Crawl, so you can track your progress as you go along:). If you mark an issue as 'Fixed', on the next crawl it will still appear if we recognise that it hasn't actually been fixed. My colleague Jo left a helpful screencast in a comment below - https://screencast.com/t/sqyiphpjEcr

Localized pages with hreflang markup being reported by Moz as duplicate content
We have 5 websites, each targeted at a different geography. They are all in English, but targeted per country (e.g. US, Canada, UK, Australia). And we've properly implemented hreflang tags on each page, with the US site being the x-default, and with each country-specific page having a self-referencing hreflang tag as well as individual hreflang tags pointing to the other country-specific versions. All seems to be working properly with the search engines. But, each week in our Moz Pro campaigns, Moz reports the pages as "duplicate content". It seems that Moz does not regard the hreflang tags when deciding if content is duplicate or not. I'm not 100% sure that's what's causing Moz to report them as duplicate, but it's my best guess. To date, I've been marking these as "ignore". But, that creates two problems. First, we have new pages all the time, and so this gets to be laborious. Second, it makes it somewhat likely we might miss a real duplicate content issue. Can someone confirm whether Moz should be looking at hreflang tags before considering pages as dupliacte? And possibly offer any suggestions to us if Moz doesn't do that?

Why my site not crawl?
my error in dashboard: **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Jul 23, 2020. **Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster i thing edit robots.txt how fix that?

Moz crawler is not able to crawl my website
Hello All, I'm facing an issue with the MOZ Crawler. Every time it crawls my website , there will be an error message saying " **Moz was unable to crawl your site on Sep 13, 2017. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. " We changed the robots.txt file and checked it . but still the issue is not resolved. URL : https://www.khadination.shop/robots.txt Do let me know what went wrong and wjhat needs to be done. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you.

Moz Local - Does it do the work for you?
Good Morning Everyone, I have a quick question regarding Moz Local ... I understand what it does and the purpose and how great it is... My question is this: If you sign up for Moz local, does it actually send all of the proper and necessary info to each of the aggregators or sites that it lists or does it simply tell me what information i need to send them and i have to provide this info to each one myself? For example, does it say something like "Inconsistent info found on Yelp, please do this to correct" .... OR, does it actually make the corrections and send to yelp for me? Thanks
