SEO software for multiple views - Responsive web design
-
We have a responsive web design website and noticed this morning that we are ranking better on a cell phone search than on a PC search. There has been talk about this happening. My competitors do not have cell phone views or responsive websites.
Does anyone know if Moz is planning on adding this kind of ranking information to their reports?
Thanks Carla

Hi guys!
Thanks for the question
I am glad you asked that. Currently the SERP collector we are using assumes few IPs and identities to scrub all of the personalization and "biases" that are associated with normal search to give you the most accurate ranking. Mobile search is is fundamentally biased since your phone is a wealth of personalized data and information search engines use to produce rankings (another reason why user data is such a valuable commodity). While mobile rankings is something we are looking for the in the future, at the moment our result remains as a computer search rankings.
We really appreciate feedback and feature requests; they help us decide what parts of our software development to prioritize. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:

You can vote for features you'd like to see and suggest your own, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next. Add your request there and hopefully we'll see it come to fruition sometime down the line. Thanks again, and best of luck!
Have a great day,

Hi David,
Thanks for your contribution. I didn't realize Google had different kinds of bots but now that you said it makes a lot of sense. If Google did have a bot for each device it seems like MOZ would have to have one too to be able to produce accurate ranking reports for each device.
Thanks!
- Google Mobile Bot
- Google Tablet Bot
- Google PC / Laptop Bot
- Google Smart TV Bot???

I have no idea what MOZ is planning to do but you have to love the SEO benefits of offering mobile friendly sites and video as well.
I have had the 1, 2 or 3 spot for SEO my town for nearly 3 months from a half hour of work with video and while we have double the amount of desktop traffic we are tracking 3 times as many of our sales or goals from mobile devices.
I just want to inject, we had a client worried that this was hurting their desktop results because they were scoring better on mobile but it is not an indicator of that at all. Google bot Mobile is one index and Google bot is another. The mobile simply has few competitors and is easier to rank in. This is why you do not have to worry about duplicate content when you chunk out pages for mobile as long as you make your sitemaps correctly.
I didn't serve to answer your question at all but I loved seeing your post and had to comment.

What are the best free/low cost tools you use for SEO?
Hello! I will be giving a talk next month about free/low cost SEO tools and apps and I would like to hear what your favorite/most useful tools are. I know this question has been discussed here before, but this is a topic that is constantly evolving and I am interested in knowing what people currently find to be the best. I'd like to hear about things you really use on a regular basis--there are a lot of things out there that sound cool, but end up not being used. So, what are your go-to free SEO tools? Thank-you,

SEO Moz analysing US site when I want it to analyse UK site
Hi there, I am trying to analyse the UK version of my website. However as the website is set to redirect people to the most relevant site and SEO Moz is based in the US, it is redirecting all the pages your crawling and therefore analysing US pages. So I am trying to look at the UK homepage but all the factors relate to the US site... Is there a way around this?? Thanks

Localize Web App
Is there a way to "localize the web app"? In other words, get ranking results based on a location? I pecked around the forum and documentation but couldn't find anything. Any plans to move in this direction? I'm getting wildly different results based on browser location settings. Any thoughts are welcome.
