Software for checking local listings?
-
Is there any software that you can enter in the name of a company, phone number, address, or website URL and get back a list of all the local search terms they are on the first page for?

Hi Chase,
Linda has given you very good information here. I also recommend that you check out 51 Blocks' competitive analysis tool: http://www.51blocks.com/online-marketing-tools/free-local-analysis/
Though not, per se, a ranking tool, it provides a great deal of free insight into why certain businesses are achieving certain rankings.

Hi Chase,
BrightLocal and Places Scout are the 2 best known rank trackers for local. But none of them, including Authority Labs do it the way you want to do it.
With them all you enter the KWs you want to track and it will report on the rankings. None of them find all the existing KWs you rank for.
I only know of one tool and it's free that will go out and FIND whatever variety of KWs a site is already ranking for. Again it's free, so not totally reliable and only works if the tool has already picked up the site.
But it's a very cool and relatively unknown tool I discovered and posted an in-depth overview about recently that demonstrates how it could be used for local search. The tool is savedhistory.net. May need to dig around to uncover the power of it. I had to play with it quite a bit for my post, to get to the meat of the features that are cool for local KW ranking and research. Here's the site I used in my example so you can go right in and see what it does without digging. http://savedwebhistory.com/d/90210dentist.net
Again it's free, not pretty and not comprehensive - but can be useful for the situations I cited. Pre-consult, new potential client, to see what they may already be ranking for. OR for KW discovery to find out what other KWs competitors in that industry rank for.

Authority labs checks keyword rankings (keywords that you define) at the domain level, and reports if the SERPS are displaying local listing for that particular keyword.

Is there an external tool to check for Link Balance profile (anchor text)?
Hi, Regarding the topic of Link Balance (anchor text from external sites). Is there an external tool you can point to your site or an individual URL that can give you the link balance (branded terms, exact match etc). This article is great:

http://moz.com/blog/anchor-text-distribution-avoiding-over-optimization But it's a lot of work to do for individual pages (of which we have many). Just trying to see if there's a tool out there (Moz or otherwise), that can report on such balance on a page-by-page basis (paste in URL, hit 'Go'). Thanks.

The right GA account is not populating as an option. Can I redirect to a GA account not listed?
When setting up a campaign, Moz provides a number of Google Analytic options, however not the one that pertains to the specific URL for the campaign. Is there a setting I need to change to allow for the right GA account to populate? Or, can I enter this manually?

Where to learn SEO practices, especially local
I am looking to learn SEO as I know how important it is. I have basic understandings, but I don't know where to start, or what to add. my website is viralextent.com and apparently I'm not so good at ranking. I want to rank locally for "web design". I understand that I couldn't touch the national market right now as I can't even seem to grasp the local. I know everyone's time is valuable so I'm not looking for a free assessment. Where should I go to learn what I need to do next and kind of guide me through the process of becoming #1 for local? I am obviously an SEOmoz PRO member, where should I start here, or should I be looking somewhere else? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
