Location specific MOZ Ranking changes - How to track them
-
Hi All,
I have asked this question before here but haven't got any convincing answers. And now I am starting to see this in couple of my other projects .
I'm not sure how many facing similar issue like mine but its bit tricky.
Our company is based in Melbourne,Australia and we set MOZ campaign setting to google.com.au . The weekly moz ranking for one of the client keyword showed as Position Rank#29. But when I Checked Manually it is Ranking #3. So why does the moz show as 29 ?
**Keyword: **car exhaust
Website: www.professionalexhaust.com.au
To Replicate, I set the google search to google.com.au and on Search Tools I changed location as **Australia ( by default its set to Melbourne ). **When I did search now my result came in Page 3 - No.29 rank.
Note: By default the Google browser picks the location as Melbourne and gives localized result which is not tracked by MOZ. Now how do I track this in Moz to show localized ranking results which my customer see. I cant report this ranking to client, else I have to do a manual report which is time consuming .
Note : This is Tested in InCognito mode with all cache cleared.

I wanted to update this and let you know we can now track local rankings! See our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics to get all of the details.

Hi there!
Our tools are only setup to show what most users will see globally. The only way to try and target local rankings is to use geo-targeted keywords so you would use "car exhaust melbourne" which shows up as #2 in my search on google.com.au. We are researching a solution for local rankings but have no ETA on when I will have more information about that.
Hope this helps!

Moz Pro: Redirect Chain warning given to pages that don't have redirects
When I look up crawl errors for a page, I'm always told the page suffers from redirect chaining. However, when I do a redirect check (in this case, using the Redirect Path Chrome extension), it indicates that my page does not use a redirect. Why would Moz detect redirects, while no other redirect checker resource does? For example, this URL gets Moz's redirect chain warning: https://www.aem.org/news/january-2018/5-reasons-iot-projects-fail/ But there is no redirect associated with this URL.

Rankings and visibility fluctuating wildly from week to week
I have 1 campaign (out of 9) that has it's ranking fluctuating wildly from week to week - and in the past 3 weeks, it's tanked, and the next week come back, and this week, tanked again (what I mean by that is Keyphrases ranking #1 dropping to +51 - I had over 20 keyphrases (both local and universal) that were ranked in the top 10 (many in the top 3) that are now at 18 or higher. I have not changed anything on the website in the last 3 weeks, but I've been working with Yoast SEO Pro to add in metadata, titles etc. The content, managed by the marketing manager, is basically unchanged. Help!!! This is the second time this has happened and our top competitor went from where we are now to #1 - We've been flipflopping week after week. Not good. I have also been getting an increased # of 803 and 804 crawl errors. Jon with Moz added me to the next beta cohort, but I can't imagine that this has anything to do with Google ranking. I have 2 campaigns experiencing a high number of 803-804 crawl errors but only this one with the dramatic ranking and visibility swings. mccdental.com is the domain for the campaign. I appreciate any insight. Newish client - NOT good.

How can I print out the keyword ranking chart?
I have been working diligently on these keywords. Not a lot of them but trying to get very specific. I have one that has traditionally been very high for our site and in one day it dropped from 2 to past 50+ when I reviewed the history I was unable to find any place to print or download the graph for the history or any place to print a report for our keyword rankings.

Moz bar problem?
I have a little problem regarding Moz bar. I had a FB and Twitter account earlier for my company. I have lost access to those accounts. Also they did'nt had my likes and followers (less than 10). My current Fb and Twitter account are active. Fb has 123 Like. And that the same account I am mentioned on my website. Still MozBar is only detecting that earlier account. Is there a way I could re-direct moz bar to my new accounts? thanks

Checking Do-follow using Moz Bar
Does anyone know how to check if a link is a do-follow or no-follow using the Moz bar? I believe there's a function that highlights and color codes the link so as to tell? Can't seem to turn this function on in my Moz Bar settings. Am I missing something completely obvious?

Can Moz use canconical links to prevent notices about duplicate content issues?
if so how do we enable this - we've an average size site with a few hundred products but they appear in multiple categories, canonical url points to it's primary category (but a new page exists for each section... so for /cat-a/abc there will be another page cat-b/abc and again but the canonical points to cat-a always for that product) basically I see this kind of duplication error / notice as a false positive... help me
