Will MOZ be updating there tools with regards to the new Meta Description length?
-
Now that Google has increased the number of characters allowed for meta descriptions/snippets when will MOZ be updating the tools to cater for the new lengths?
I'm sure a lot of my Meta descriptions that are being flagged as too long with disappear once updated.

Ah this is good news OCD panic over
Thank you for the update

Good news!
It looks like we will be making changes to the max character count for meta description! Keep your eyes open!

Haha!
I do have another option which may help in the interim if it works within your SEO strategy. Because they are all of the same type and if you're confident that you don't need to know about any of them, you can ignore the issue type in your campaign.

Hi Eli,
Thank you for the update. My OCD is kicking in with 1000s of meta descriptions highlighted as being too long. Hoping when it is updated that most will go away

Since DA update, all H1s are lost
The new Moz errors for missing H1 tags align with the timing of the new Moz DA. We have not changed anything onsite nor are these tags implemented dynamically. Both desktop and AMP version of each page have an H1. Example page: Google Maps Marketing Google Maps Marketing to Promote Your Business Might this be a bug with the new Moz DA rollout?

Moz's New Video Ads on YouTube
I've enjoyed Moz's new video ads and want to share them with colleagues, however am unable to find the vids anywhere other than when they're delivered before a video plays on YouTube. Are they available on demand? If anyone is unfamiliar with the videos I speak of, they are new ads for Moz products like Keyword Explorer, Mozbar, and MozCon. Thanks in advance!

Moz Crawler failing with https redirect?
Is there a way to get the Moz Crawl Test to work with HTTPS? I just got back this error: 902 : Network errors prevented crawler from contacting server for page.

Anyone else experiencing this error? btw - this is both a specific question and an opportunity for open discussion... Thanks!
