Does Moz Analytics need Google Analytics installed?
-
I have a few websites on my Moz Analytics account but only have data for one of them.
All my other accounts keepy saying come back in 24hrs for more data, although there is no data available.
Do I need to connect each account with Google Analytics before Moz populates its own analytics?

Hi David!
Correct - if you wish to see traffic data, you will need to connect GA to each of your Moz Analytics campaigns.
If you do not have a GA account for each campaign, then you still be able to see other data and metrics about your campaign, for example links data, mentions, crawl data, and any social accounts you have connected.
If you have connected a GA account to your campaign and you are not seeing data appear, that might be a different issue. I would recommend disconnecting GA from the affected campaigns and then re-connecting. If this doesn't work then let our help team know and we can help you debug.
Thanks!

Yes and no, no its not needed, but there is some extra data that they get from GA, such as traffic data, such as number of visits, keywords sending visits.

Hi David,
As far as I can tell, a campaign does not have to have GA connected to it. But it behaves differently when it does. Also weird things happen when old Moz Pro campaigns are viewed in the Moz Analytics dashboard. Here's what I am seeing in my MOZ account...

Moz Analytics and Moz Pro behave very differently.

a week ago I created a quick campaign in Moz Analytics just to test something, I did not associate it with any Google Analytics account. It has data in it now, but not as much as other campaigns that are associated with a GA account.
-
also a week ago I re-activated some old Moz Pro campaigns that do not have GA associated with them. They now appear in the Moz analytics dashboard - but with the spinning icon and the "We are collecting your data now. Check back within 24 hours" mesage.
-
to view those old Moz Pro campaigns in functioning manner, I have to skip the Moz Analytics dashboard and view them through the old Moz Pro dashboard which is here http://pro.moz.com/campaigns/
Hope this helps you.

Hi David,
Ofcourse it does, you will need your GA ID so MoZ can drag the data from your web site. I doubt there is a service out there that doesnt need GA or code installed in order to provide you with data.

As an example: https://www.abthermal.com/3m-70-70hdt-self-fusing-silicone-rubber-electrical-tape.html Moz has flagged this as URL too long... but guideline is that happens at 75 characters or more? I count 55..?? or does the 75 limit have to include the domain? Thanks, Adrian

Is Moz Pro the tool that SEO agencies are using to SEO my website?
I was just wondering if MOZ PRO is the tool that SEO agencies and specialists are using to SEO my website? Is it possible for a new guy in the SEO to optimize his web site by himself using MOZ PRO and rank on the top? What is the best material to learn from outside the MOZ.com sources? Thank you! Kaloyan

Can I use wildcards "*" when setting up a new Moz campaign?
Basically I would like the Moz crawler to focus on a specific section of our domain. We do not bucket things via folder groups, so the use of wildcards would be applicable to us. Our URL structure: www.domain.com/some-stuff-here/p12345 Is the example below a valid input to track the above URL structure? www.domain.com//p Thanks.

Google Analytics data not loading into Moz
I use several analytics apps on my iphone which require you to connect to your GA account. Each one gets immediate access to the GA data. With Moz, I connected to my GA account 3 days ago after many failed attempts due to some bug, but still have no data showing. Is there some reason why Moz would take several days to access the data where iphone apps take seconds? I am now a week into my 30 day free trial, and have spent lots of time trying to get it to work, but have not been able to do much. I'm afraid of how much of the 30 days will be taken up just getting Moz set up and working, rather than actually using and evaluating what it does. Any possibility of re-starting the 30 days from when it's actually working? I don't mind waiting patiently for some bugs to be fixed, just would like to know that I will still get a 30 day trial. Thanks.

Lost since the change over to Moz
I was recently lead to a series of videos which looked to be quite helpful here http://moz.com/help/pro/introduction But is seems with the change over from SEO Moz to Moz, nothing is in the same place. Should I bother watching them or wait for new ones? I'm particularly interested in SEO to raise our rank.
