New SERP Features Cumbersome. Bring Back the Old Ranking Setup!
-
Does anyone else hate the new SERP Features section?
Well, let me start over. I do not hate that section, I hate that that data was removed from the main rankings page. It was very convenient to be able to see that my site was ranking # for organic and also listed in the Local listings. All in one place. Now, I have to go to 2 different places to get that data. When you are tracking more than 5 keywords, going back and forth will make your head spin. (Yes, I know you can get all the data in a cv file. That's still an additional, unnecessary step when you need a quick ranking update).
Also, when the local/image/video/etc. emblems were shown on the main ranking page, you could hover over the emblem and see who was ranking on the first page for that vertical. Now that data is completely gone. Suggestions for where to find this data? A bright local membership?
Thanks for listening to me rant. Moz, if you are listening, please bring back the old ranking page!

I have to agree. It wasn't broke, why did they 'fix' it?
I really don't want to have to pay for Moz and a BrightLocal membership.

Reporting on SERP Features
Hi there, is there any way to generate a report of keyword rankings for SERP features?

Does/could the MpzBar highlight your website in the SERPs?
Is anyone aware of a setting in the MozBar which would highlight your website within SERPs? Or, even more exciting, display a number on the bar when looking at a SERP, showing your best current position for that query (in real time)? If not, it'd be interesting to know your thoughts on the idea? Great for quick checks and references or would it discourage people from staying vigilant in the SERPs and keeping an eye on the competition? (Note: we do have MOZ Pro and are aware that it does something similar. I'm thinking more for a quick check of those difficult targets where you're not hitting the first couple of pages).

Will the Pro tool be updated to reflect the new meta description length?
Hi, I'm wondering if and when the tool will be updated for the above purpose - I'm currently testing it out with a view to purchase a subscription and have onboarded a couple of clients, but the reports are coming back with meta description length errors, but as I'm sure you know the "legal" length of these was recently increased to I believe 320 characters. Any insight here would be awesome - thanks so much!

Feature request for Keyword Explorer
I posted this suggestion as a comment to a recent Moz blog post, but I thought I would add it here as well. I'm really digging the new Venn diagram view in Keyword Explorer and the ability to easily switch between various combinations of competitors. One feature that would be REALLY helpful (in addition to expanding to other countries) would be the ability to filter the keyword lists by specific strings. An obvious use case for that would be to filter out brand names -- I want to see how the comparisons look with non-branded keywords only. Another use case: Let's say I and my competitors have multiple product categories in common. It would be helpful if I could filter on some of the major head terms representing each of those product categories separately.

New Design on New Ranking Charts
I logged in today to find the ranking chart on a specific keyword changed dramatically. It used to pop up first thing when you went to analyze a keyword and now it's hidden under a pulldown. Which is fine, I will get used to all the new changes. It only took me a few minutes to find it (ha). Is there a writeup on what was reorganized anywhere? I could not see it on the blog (other than the Keyword Difficulty changes but that doesn't say anything about this) or in the Hub. The way it was laid out before was extremely compact. It showed the keyword at the top with the current weekly ranking. Then listed the chart below with the competitors. You could easily get it on a snapshot for management. Now, when you are viewing the chart, you don't know what keyword you are looking at when viewing it on the screen (you have to scroll up - or have a really large monitor) and you have to hover to see what position it's at. If you look at the two attached images, it used to be more compact. I'm not including where the competitors are listed for privacy reasons 😉 but on the old version it made very easily digestible screencaps. Now, I know, I know, it's all there... Yet every Monday I do a snapshot of the top 10 keywords we look at and send it in an Excel file (with VARIOUS other things) and the big boss looks at it every single week. Since he's the one paying and I'm about to hear a complaint shortly, I thought I would send feedback... (I'm trying to check boxes... is Moz Pro called Moz Analytics now? When I look at my campaign, it says Moz Pro... doesn't say anything about Moz Analytics. I feel super old right now! Sorry! 🙂 sIzxEi5b7d vCUukpOrHSdn
