Site recently updated- are my campaign results really accurate?
-
I recently updated a website and it seems as though my campaign results are not accurate. I feel that the more I learn about SEO, the less I know (if that makes sense?). Every time I check my campaign results for this site I feel like I am missing something but just don't know where to begin. The site is aphroditedesserts.com
For example, "aphrodite desserts" is one of my keywords. When I type that into Google, it automatically pulls up the site as #1. But in my campaign, it shows that "aphrodite desserts" does not rank in the top 50 for google. Why is this? (I know there is a lot I could do to improve the SEO keywords on this site, but I am limited because of the client's budget.) However, if I could just get a handle on the answers for these types of issues, I think I would feel much more confident as an SEO specialist. Right now I feel more like a fraud. =(
Any insight into what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Thank you for suggesting this. I didn't want to submit a ticket if I was doing something wrong (which is probably the issue). However, I cannot seem to resolve this so I think you're right; I'm going to submit a ticket. Thanks!

Sounds like it's time to submit a ticket to the help desk. Email them at help@seomoz.org with the query in question and the destination URL. I know there were some issues with UK rank tracking, I'm not sure about rank tracking otherwise. The help desk would be able to tell you though.

Well that's great news; thanks for checking! No, this isn't my first report. The re-design launched mid-July, so I'm pretty sure that I've given things enough time to show up. Maybe I should give it through August?
-
When I google "Aphrodite Desserts" I get the site (and the new SERP 12-pack!) as number 1 as well. Is this your first report? If so, give it a week or two and it should start showing up. Sometimes it can be stubborn.

Thank you for the tips. I tried each suggestion but still get the same results. Although the issue is not resolved, I feel better being able to weed some things out. Thanks again for taking the time to make some recommendations!

- Try logging out or using a completely different computer - Google modifies your results according to your past search behavior.
- Double check you are comparing the same country version of Google. You may be searching Google.co.uk and tracking Google.com
- It could be getting a boost from local search - try the search with a friend in a different part of the country.

OSE seems to be less and less accurate
Howdy folks, Into our 3rd year of using MOZ and OSE and well not sure about you guys but I think OSE is reporting less and less accurately. Has anyone seen a drop in it's accuracy or ability to delivery what it claims to? I know many of you also use AHREFS and others but why not get this tool right MOZ?

Can not start a SEO MOZ campaign?
I keep getting this message, I have a 301 from my domain to my domain with the www prefix. What's the deal? We have detected that the domain www.photosbykristopher.com and the domain photosbykristopher.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here.

Strange nothing site ranking
Hi There. If you check who ranks for "credit cards" there is a website https://www.woolworthsmoney.com.au/ that is in position #5 This is a highly competitive keyword, but OpenSiteExporer.org cannot give me any backlinks for it. it says "No Data Available for this URL" The same thing happens in Market Samurai - no data 1. What are these guys doing that the others are not? 2. How come OSE can't pull any data for it?

What do I really need
Hello all. I’m new to this SEO stuff and after reading much, remain very, very confused as to what I really need. First, I’ll say I’m here because I have been impressed with the posts and the general professional approach that seem to exist on Seomoz. My problem is that I run a small business that’s not doing so well and I do know that my website needs to be found. With this being the case I contacted an SEO company and on being given a price for 12 months of service, almost feel of my chair as this would clear me out. This, without any guarantee. Due to the above I am now considering having a go at the SEO myself. However, this leads to another problem in that, given it appears I need so many online services, it again becomes very expensive for one man and his single website. I have seen much written about Seomoz, Raven (something I’m trying now), Seospyglass and Seo Powersuite (a few reports appear bad) and between these and other possibly lesser well known brands leaves me wondering what I need to achieve improved website visibility. Does not one product exist that can help the smaller business without breaking the bank, and if not, what might be the best approach to tackle this problems cost effectively. I am aware that Seomoz has it’s followers, but having said this, it appears that a good degree of openness and honesty is provided here. Your comments would be most appreciated.

After running my first campaign, what should I tackle first?
I'm in the 30 day trial period of SEOMoz Pro. Ran my first campaign and there are many improvements to be had across the board. Looking for some sort of guidance as to what I should focus on first.

Tracking Local Keywords in Campaigns.
When selecting keywords to track in campaign mode, how should I enter the keywords for a company located in a city that shares the same name as another city in a different state? My assumption is that if you're searching for "Garden City Plumber" within Garden City Michigan that Google will know your IP and show local results (as opposed to results from Garden City California). If I want to track the key phrase "Garden City Plumber" in campaign mode how will SEOMoz know which city to deliver results for? Thanks in advance.

Is there a beginners guide to using the tools and what do the results mean.
Great set of tools! But what would make them better is some type of guide to what the tools do (remember I am a new user) and how to maximize the results. Oh and while your at it what do the results mean.
