Is there an automated way to import Keyword Rank Tracker data in Google Data Studio?
-
I am creating an SEO Dashboard in Google Data Studio.
While it's easy to import data from Google Search Console, I have troubles in importing data from Mozzarellas tools.I thought about uploading a CSV file with the ranking to a Google Sheet Document, but I cannot find a way to do this at regular intervals with manual intervention.

The add-on only appears to import MozRank and link targeting information. Can you confirm that rank can be imported? Thanks!

To be honest I found Google Data Studio pretty horrible and was able to work much more easily with Microsoft's Power BI, though for corporations it's not free and the price-tag is steep
One feature that Power BI had was that, in addition to connecting to set platforms like Google Analytics, it could also connect to custom objects like an SQL database
If Google have been smart and kept up, I'd expect this to be a feature by now in Data Studio...

Looks like I was right!
This could make your life really easy as long as your rank tracking supplier provides an API for their tool. You can make requests to the API and build your own SQL database of that same data for your own records. The server holding the SQL database would have to regularly run API-based tasks to pull the data from your ranking supplier, into itself
Once that was done, you could then just connect to your SQL database via GDS
- You'd need a developer to build the database and the tasks which updated it (API fetches)
- If your ranking supplier changed their API significantly you'd have to pay to get it updated
- You'd need to pay to host your database online somewhere
Other than that... Seems like a good solution. Sorry it's not super cheap and simple - though!
Even if your ranking supplier provides back-end exports only and no API, you can still do what you want. You'd just have to create a script that uses a headless browser to export the data and then push the CSV exports to your database. Again you'd assuredly need a developer's help! Using something like Python's Selenium or Windmill modules might be feasible
Hope that helps

I have not used it, but Supermetrics, an add-on for Google Sheets and Google Data Studio, has a Moz database connector. they have a free trial to see if it works out for you.

Does data-bind hurt SEO?
sleepcountry.ca uses Oracle Commerce Cloud which uses Knockout data-binds syntax to attach events to DOM elements like this (A <a id="s0207useresourcesinwidgets01"></a>Knockout custom binding named ‘widgetLocaleText’ - I am not familiar this technology stack): Same applies to H1 tag - you can't find H1 tag in Source. In short, the text binding causes the associated DOM element to display the text value of your parameter. Data binding is applied to all DOM elements on pages of sleepcountry.ca even that this technique doesn't pass W3C markup validation: Error: Element title must not be empty. MOZ reports that all H1 Tags are missing on ALL PAGES of the site. Same is reported by Semrush and other respected services. However, it seems like Google automatically adds tagging to all data-bind(ed) elements including Title! site:sleepcountry.ca I'm no expert in Oracle Commerce Cloud or Knockout, but I'm confused.

QUESTION: Does this data-bind hurt organic search and if it does, why Google still sees all TITLES while Moz and other services report it as a major problem - titles are missing. ? Thank you so much in advance! (I'm not an SEO expert but this problem might be related to my project)0 -
Why keywords have zero data for UAE?
I have searched for food delivery keyword for the United Arab Emirates, EN, and AR. Monthly volume has no data whereas difficulty, organic and priority has figures. When I change the country to US; monthly volume has more data. Can you explain; how can I use your service?

Is Keyword Explorer now providing search volume by country?
I think Keyword Explorer was only providing search volume data for the US (whereas difficulty and opportunity were available at a country level) but recently I've started to see differences between the US volume data and the UK (see examples attached). Does this mean Keyword Explorer is now providing accurate volume data for the UK and other countries? DEIKsVJ 5kels

Keyword Explorer is Now Live; Ask Me Anything About It!
Howdy gang - as you probably saw, we launched our biggest new tool in Pro in many years today: https://moz.com/explorer If you're a Moz Pro subscriber, you've already got access. We went ahead and gave folks who were at $99/month before today 300 queries/month. If you're signing up new, $99/month doesn't have KW Explorer access, but the other levels - at $149/month and above, do (5,000+ queries/month). You can read the blog post here for lots of details, but if you have questions or product suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Keywords Score Meter
Hi Moz, I am using the keywords difficulty tool from your site and find it is quite useful 🙂 I research the community and find the data should be interpreted in the following way. But when I did a quick research for one keyword. The tool bar gives me a data of 22% showing in Yellow and says the keyword is competitive when I hover my mouse. Should this be **Blue **and easy to rank keyword based on the score? Which one should I believe? Sub 30 - (Blue) Low hanging fruit you can take advantage of. 30 - 35 (Green) Fairly easy with good on page and some quality anchored links. 35 - 40 - (Yellow) Will take a bit more work but still in reach may require, good on-site SEO and a solid link profile. 40 - 50 (Orange) Domain authority plays a much more pivotal role so it may take longer to rank for. 50+ (Red) All about resources. Onsite SEO needs to be totally nailed, including internal linking/ topic modelling etc. a strong & diverse link profile with good social signals and ... time. Thanks in advance.

Should I exclude prepositions in tracked keywords of moz analytics?
I'm new to Moz. Just set up my trial campaign, and it had suggested many keywords. Many of the phrases that were suggested do not contain prepositions. For example, instead of something like "sporting good stores in Chicago" it suggested "sporting good stores Chicago" Today, I looked at the on-page optimization suggestions, which are (of course) suggesting that I remove prepositions from my page to rank well. Well, as you know, that is unnatural to the reader. But I suspect people are searching in higher volume, leaving the prepositions out. I know that if I were to search for a sporting goods store in Chicago, I would probably leave out "in." What should I do? Should I remove all the suggested keywords, and make them readable (which people are less like using in their search?) Do I go back to all my pages and try to optimize it for a keyword that is natural, but does not include a preposition (such as Chicago sporting goods stores) or should I be doing something else?
