If I have a MOZ PRO account, do I still need Screaming Frog?
-
Hi, I have a MOZ PRO account which is brilliant for me. I am about to move my site from HTTP to HTTPS and was looking for a smooth way to list every page and its details so I can make sure I do the correct redirects etc.. before the switch to SSL.
Do I need to get Screaming Frog, or can the tools with MOZ Pro ease my path just as well?
Thanks

Wow... the man himself Dr Pete!! Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I've decided to go with both Moz Pro AND Screaming Frog.

Our new Site Crawl can provide a full audit of your site (whether or not pages have issues) with information like crawl depth and Page Authority, but both tools have pros and cons. We use a cloud-based crawler (pardon the term) and Screaming Frog runs on your own machine -- even this has pros and cons, depending on your use-case. We now allow on-demand recrawls for Medium Tier on up. Screaming Frog has more customization, if you're looking for specific patterns and generally offers more raw data, I'd say. Our new Site Crawl is a bit more accessible to most users and helps provide insights, but doesn't have a lot of customization options right now.
If you've got a Moz plan that covers the size of your full site, then either Moz Site Crawl or Screaming Frog should be able to help you audit your full list of pages prior to an HTTP-->HTTPS migration.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Much appreciated

Hey! Dave from the help team here,
If you are tracking your site in a Campaign with Moz Pro, you can use the Site Crawl tool to get a full list of all pages crawled and the details regarding these pages. Hopefully that helps to point you in the right direction, let us know if you need anything else!

I use both and I don't think either is a replacement for the other. If your website is under 500 pages, you can use the free version. If not, one license is not expensive at all and valid for a whole year.

I highly recommend Screaming Frog on top of Moz. It can do a lot of Ad-Hoc crawls and help you diagnose potential issues. Try and play with the free version. Depending upon the site of the site, you might be okay with the less than 500 pages. However, at $200 a license, it's not much for a larger site. Imagine what a bug could cost you?

How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?
So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file. So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered. Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years. During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since. But we have not recovered. At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?
Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Does Moz have anything similar to ahrefs batch analysis tool?
I am wanting to do analysis of a whole bunch of URLs at once - i know ahrefs already has a very good tool for this - but I don't really want to have to pay the $79 a month if moz has something similar? I know it has the OSE. Can I do batch analysis in this? Thanks
