What's the best way to track broad search terms?
-
I'm finding out that Moz only tracks exact match results for key terms. Does anyone know of a good tool for tracking broad search terms? So for example: keyword1 keyword2 keyword3 as opposed to "keyword1 keyword2 keyword3"?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!-David

Okay got it! Thank you!

I believe if you just set it up, it will run report next day (or in two days), but then it's gonna be weekly. I don't think there is a way to force to update reports.
-
Ahh! I bet that's it! I did have http://lashgroup.com in originally and then changed it but not until that report had been generated. Good eye! So can I initiate another report or do I need to wait another week or whatever?
-
Alright, i think i found your problem.
Do you have lashgroup campaign set up for http://lashgroup.com?
instead of http://www.lashgroup.com? Do you have proper redirects from non-www to www version (or vice versa)?
Check screenshots.
P.S. As far as i understand, moz is looking for exact match of domain when retrieving rankings for your reports. so, www and non-www make a lot of difference.

I am looking at a report from a campaign but I don't think it's a time based error. I think Lashgroup has been #1 position for these search terms for quite a while.
-
Are you checking moz's rank tracker or ranking report in campaign?
If it's in campaign, then it might be due to weekly updates - rankings are not updated every day, so 51+ rank might be from previous week (or even month if you're looking at monthly report).
-
Hmm..
I tried to recreate the results you're talking about and here is what i get:
chrome - ranks #1
moz - ranks #1

Well, hopefully this provides more details: We have Lashgroup in as one of our competitors and for the keyword phrase: "copay program providers" moz.com is saying that Lashgroup is 51+ although when searching that phrase in Chrome using incognito I see a link to the Lasgroup website as the #1 link in the search results page. So...what's up with that? Am I missing something?

Hello, my friend.
I think you are mistaken. Moz, indeed, tracks rankings for broad match. And it makes sense, since users usually google without putting any google search operators (like double quotes).
And here is the proof: I have two searches for how car fast - broad and exact. I used nonsense phrase on purpose. Then i went to moz rank tracker and did the same search. The results show that MOZ does indeed broad search.
See screenshots attached.

So exact match for you is "copay program providers"
You then want to track each word on its own? or are you trying to work out the long trail options?
As I'm just trying to work out what bored search teams for you is.
-
Oh sure! Here you go: copay program providers
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm just trying to work this out a little more. Can you give a sample of keywords you want as exact match and broad?
This post on moz is really good but it will take time and work within Google Analytics but again if you can give me an example of what you're trying to track it will help alot.

Crawl-test not doesn't finish
Hello, I have used this crawl-test on 2 website 3 days ago, and it hasn't finished yet. I'm wondering if the crawler is on an infinite loop, or has crashed without sending back an error. I could re-launch the test, but if it's really still crawling, I don't want to loose any work in progress. Is there any way to check the status of a crawl?

Moz says "Title Too Long", Yoast says title is the perfect length. Who's right?
For a bunch of my pages, the MOZ Crawl Report says "Title Too Long". Yoast on my site tells me that the titles are the correct length. How can these two things be at odds with each other? Which one is right?

Community Discussion - What's Been Your Experience With Moz Content?
When the content developed Moz Content, I was excited as can be about having another tool in the content marketing and content strategy repertoire. I knew it could and would help marketers better identify the content they should be creating and make it easier for them to move the needle for their brands. Since it's been available, I've had fun using Moz Content, seeing it as a great vehicle for flattening the learning curve for content ideation and creation. In a recent post, Here's How I'm Using Moz Content for Mining Local Link Opportunities, David Farkas described how brands can use Moz Content to better create localized content. I'd like to know how you're using it, or if you're using it: Have you tried Moz Content? And if not, what's stopping you? If you have used it, what are you really liking? What would you change? What, if any, additional features you'd like to see added? What tips can you share for helping others get the most out of the tool? Looking forward to reading the comments below.

Is it normal for my homepage's page authority to be higher than my domain authority?
Hi everyone, I've just been checking my MOZ authority scores, and the page authority of my home page, www.concerthotels.com is 53 (mozRank of 6.16) which seems pretty good to me. However, the domain authority is only showing as 45. Is this typical? There is such a big difference between these two scores - what does that suggest? Is there anything obvious that I can do to bring the domain authority up to the level of authority that the homepage commands? Similarly, the UK version of my site has a homepage authority of 41, but the domain authority is only 30. Looking at numerous other websites, quite often the homepage and domain authority scores are very similar, or the domain authority is slightly higher, so it does look as if this is unusual. Any comments would be greatly appreciated, Many thanks Mike
