Where did the local pin symbol go?
-
Last week I was checking local Google places rankings with the ranking tool. The symbol was there for say 65% of my 260 keywords, and the lines were above the symbol indicating i was listed in the local area places results for say 65% of keywords with symbol.
This week there is no symbol one way or the other. I have opened a ticket but am not communicating well with Kenny.
He says I need to work on my seo and to talk to seo specialists as he is not one of them. I can understand slipping in the rankings (all to well). But where did the symbol go? It is suppose to be there whether I rank or not.
Please help

I am not super concerned with rankings, but the pin that usually shows up for local terms has stopped showing up for all 260 keyword phrases.
I read literature and watched SEOmoz Webinars, and I know that the local pin shows for local search terms, whether you rank or not!
If you rank, lines appear above the local pin.
The local pin has completely disappeared???

Hey Michael! Sorry that Kenny wasn't able to communicate well with you; was there a misunderstanding or can you go over the issue in more detail? The Help Team can't help with SEO questions, but the Q&A definitely can!
It sounds like you're trying to find out why you're not ranking in the local vertical like you used to be - is that correct? Or are the PRO tools not properly representing your rankings? If you can give us or Kenny examples of keywords that are one way in Google, but another way in the Web App, we can certainly check it out. From what I can tell, Kenny already verified a lot of the rankings, but perhaps he missed something. The more examples you can give, the better.
If this is more of a question of why you're not ranking for the local verticals, hopefully someone here in Q&A can get you an SEO-based answer. Thanks for your understanding!

New Mozscape index released! Learn just what's been going on.
Hi everyone, I'm very, very pleased to announce that the latest Mozscape index has been released five days ahead of schedule, and it's back up to the quality you expect from Moz! It's no secret that we've struggled this year with our index. I can't overstate how much we appreciate everyone sticking with us—we know how hard this has been. The good news—well, apart from the early release—is that we've worked out the issue, and we expect to finally be back on track moving forward. Director of Engineering Martin York has shared a post to the Moz blog explaining just what's been going so wrong, and outlining our plan for the future. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being such an incredible community. As for the folks who are seeing Domain Authority and Page Authority drops since the index release, please see Rand's recent post for more.

Duplicate Content errors - not going away with canonical
I am getting Duplicate Content Errors reported by Moz on search result pages due to parameters. I went through the document on resolving Duplicate Content errors and implemented the canonical solution to resolve it. The canonical in the header has been in place for a few weeks now and Moz is still showing the pages as Duplicate Content despite the canonical reference. Is this a Moz bug? http://mathematica-mpr.com/news/?facet={81C018ED-CEB9-477D-AFCC-1E6989A1D6CF}

Why did my DA and Links go down?
How could I begin to research this to find out why we have less total links and a lower domain authority. Our DA has gone down two points and our total links dropped by a few thousand. I'd like to find out why that happened but I'm just not sure where to start. Thanks!

Local Vs Organic Search Keyword Ranking
This isn't a question. It's a simple suggestion that I'm hoping will inspire a change at Seomoz. I love what this site does. What it helps us do as community. What it helps us achieve collectively. This suggestion is based on that love... I think we all can agree that the rankings between local reviews and organic reviews are very different beasts entirely. They should then be treated this way within the Seomoz data with separate reports. The vast majority of reputable small businesses don't care about national rankings, but would rather get to the top of the local charts with their 5-star reviews. Can you imagine the power of a report that is dedicated to helping you shape your client's results to achieve this? I like seeing the results of local in the keyword report, but we need a report dedicated to local search to make a difference in our rankings. With all of the recent chatter on local search, I'm surprised this isn't already available.

Reminder: PRIVATE Q&A going away
Hello everyone, Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to ask a private question before we shut down private Q&A (see the full announcement at http://www.seomoz.org/q/private-question-shutdown). We encourage you to submit your private question before 12:00 Pacific Daylight Time today (so in the next two hours). After that, you will no longer be able to ask new private questions, but any questions that have been asked will be answered over the next few days. ONLY private Q&A is shutting down. Public Q&A is here to stay! You'll be seeing more activity in public Q&A from associates as they answer questions and endorse answers, and more feature development in public QA during the year.

Can SEOMOZ do Local SEO ?
Most of our clients are local but we can not get local or regional (for example VA State or Washington DC) SERP results within SEOMOZ. it would be nice to create custom search profiles based on region (State or County) and track SERP within SEOMOZ. Ranking reports and even keyword difficulty analysis etc. within SEOMOZ are misleading for local web sites. SEOMOZ default site setup assumes every business doing SEO serves all over the US. I think it will be very beneficial if we have a choice to select State or County of local web sites during initial campaing set up at SEOMOZ. what do you think? do you know any work around of this problem? Thanks,
