I don't believe moz is seeing everything that is on my webpage
-
I used the page key word grader and got an "F" Moz said that my keyword employee handbook was not in my title nor was it found in the body of my page. But when I look at the page and double check everything it is there all over the place.
I am not blaming moz this is a wiz site and while I am a beginner and very well could be wrong could anyone just take a look and tell me if I am nuts or what. The web page is http://www.cestoday.com/#!employee-handbook/co0h I now have the font so big I will have to fix that.
Thank you

If you're using Wix.com, and they use AJAX... here's what you can do to verify google is scraping your site properly.
- go to google.com and simply type "site:yourURL.com"... no spaces between the colon and your site name. This will return Google's index of your site, and then you can look at the cached pages to ensure they're seeing what they should.
- Wix posted about this, and they provide both the needed AJAX (end user) option and the HTML (google crawler option) properly.. here's their blog from 2015 addressing this (see #4) https://www.wix.com/blog/2015/04/myth-busting-10-interesting-facts-about-wix-seo/
- if you're using Wix.com... or other website builder tools... make sure to submit your sitemap to the Google Search Console, this should also help.

Here's some help from Google regarding, "making ajax applications crawlable"
https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more -
Erin is there an ETA on when the Moz crawler might be able to handle ajax sites as Google does (https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification)?

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for jumping in Fredrik and LinkAssistant! Fredrik is correct, our tool has a hard time getting through any AJAX, which is why we're not picking up your keyword.
If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot us an email at help@moz.com!
Cheers,
Erin

1. You're right - MOZ tools cannot handle your pages correctly, most probably because of AJAX.
2. Google can see your page and does see it (to some extent) - go check https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Your+Employee+Handbook+Is+Your+First+Defense%22 to make sure it can see your headings and somr text including the keywords you specified. On the other hand, go check Google's cache to see it can see only a part of the content you've got on that page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.cestoday.com/%23!employee-handook/co0h, which most probably means you'll have to move from WIX (which you're using right now if I'm not mistaken) to some other website engine as this one is definitely not the best one for SEO.

Hi
I got good news and I got bad news for you:
Good news: your not nuts. The text is visually there.
Bad news: the text is actually not in the original source code since its loaded with AJAX.An easy way to check this is to do a view source on the page. Dependent on browser the function is in different places but in Google Chrome its under View -> Developer -> View source. When your seeing the source code try to do a search and you see that the word "handbook" is not there.
So what does this mean: 1. It means that the moz tool can not handle this AJAX way of making the page. 2. It could also mean that Google can not index the site.
Good look forward
Fredrik

Can Moz Monitor a JS Site?
We are building a new site that, on the blog landing page, uses JS to populate the individual blog article links on the page. The links are not viewable in the page source, but do appear once the page fully renders. After running an on-demand crawl of the site (in QA...not indexed yet), it appears that Moz isn't indexing these pages, and it also isn't reading other page elements that load later (like an H1 that is rendered in JS but not in page source). Are we going to be able to use Moz to track this site? Is there some setting to help?

Domain Authority hasn't recovered since August
I really need some major advice on this one. Back in September, I asked a question on here as follows: "A client wanted to change their domain name, which we have now done. The site content itself is exactly the same. We put 301 redirect links in so that Google searchers would redirect from the old site to the new one. However Moz then said that it couldn't crawl the old domain because of the redirects and advised creating a brand new campaign for the new domain. We have done this but now Moz says that the domain authority of the new site is 2 (it was 14 on the old domain)." My original question and the answers I got are here: https://moz.com/community/q/new-domain-wipes-out-domain-authority). Generally the responses I got were that we should give Moz time to crawl the new domain and process all the "new" pages. It is now February, ie 6 months after the domain rename, and on Moz the site still has a DA of 2. It seems like 6 months is enough time to wait. We checked all the recommended guides and believe we have done it all correctly. I really don't know what to do now. Can anyone help or have a quick look and work out why this is so bad? Specifics are:

My question is, when you translate your website to another language, does moz crawl both or do i have to add another campaign to moz so that they can crawl it seperately?
Hello, i recently translated my website to spanish, keywords,meta tags, content etc. All of our URL for the translated pages start "ep", which symbolizes espanol. My question is, does moz crawl those pages along with my english pages? or do i have add another campaign for moz to crawl my spanish pages seperately?

I'm setting up a new campaign and getting the error "This does not appear to be a valid URL" What's wrong?
I've tried multiple times (over 2 days) with every variation of the URL with no luck. Any ideas for why the URL does not seem to be working?
