How do we use SEOmoz to track Local Searches? Is there a way to set the location from which the campaign tracker is "searching"?
-
It seems that there is no way to set a parameter for location. In Places, I'm able to define my targeted region. How does SEOmoz mimic that localization?
Thank for any help!

Hi Chris,
I know this is an older thread, but I see you're still a Pro member, so I wanted to let you know we can now track local rankings. See our post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics. Hope this helps!

That can be a little confusing! Sorry about that. We will only pull rankings for Universal results for keywords that are rankings in the main SERP. So if you type in the keyword ‘seattle pizza’ we will only pull from the few places results we see in the overall SERP. To get universal results you need to have a location in the keyword. So to see local rankings for ‘REI’ you will need to have a keyword with set up that says ‘boston REI’ to we can find it in the universal results.

Do the SEOmoz Campaign Reports follow Robots.txt?
Hello, Do the SEOmoz Campaign Reports (that track errors and warnings for a website) follow rules I write in the robots.txt file? I've done all that I can to fix the legitimate errors with my website, as reported by the fabulous SEOmoz tools. I want to clean up my pages indexed with the search engines so I've written a few rules to exclude content from Wordpress tag URLs for instance. Will my campaign report errors and warnings also drop as a result of this?

Local Vs Organic Search Keyword Ranking
This isn't a question. It's a simple suggestion that I'm hoping will inspire a change at Seomoz. I love what this site does. What it helps us do as community. What it helps us achieve collectively. This suggestion is based on that love... I think we all can agree that the rankings between local reviews and organic reviews are very different beasts entirely. They should then be treated this way within the Seomoz data with separate reports. The vast majority of reputable small businesses don't care about national rankings, but would rather get to the top of the local charts with their 5-star reviews. Can you imagine the power of a report that is dedicated to helping you shape your client's results to achieve this? I like seeing the results of local in the keyword report, but we need a report dedicated to local search to make a difference in our rankings. With all of the recent chatter on local search, I'm surprised this isn't already available.
