Pro newbie - What is a "campaign"?
-
I signed up three weeks ago and the first email to me begins with:
The first step in PRO is to set up your campaign. Once we start tracking your site and social media accounts, you'll start receiving handy reports of your data. You can also surface site issues right in the app to help you prioritize which fixes you can make for immediate results.
At this point I don't know what kind of "campaign" this is or what the "app" is.
I have also lodged a ticket because something seems to be broken about my Pro status. I can obviously participate here, so I have a Pro status, but at OSE, it says "Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers. Learn more" and hit my Advanced Report limit for the day without seeing any such report.

The question was more by way of feedback that the welcome email could expand those concepts with a sentence or two as per the above replies. I signed up but then travelled before using the tools three weeks later and was reacting to an article by Chris Warren at Distilled, which sent me to OSE. And that site didn't think I was Pro. I then wondered if I needed to download some app for a phone. Sorry but it was 7 am on a Saturday morning.
Incidentally, having started a campaign, my ""Social metrics only available to paid Moz subscribers" error message went away, so perhaps OSE gets a prod after a campaign is started?

Hi Ash, and welcome to Moz! I've flagged this question for the help team to come in and answer, and you should be hearing from them soon about OSE.
Here's an introduction to get you started: http://moz.com/help/pro/introduction.
A campaign is generally the website you're working on, and the app is Moz. This just means to put in the website you're working on and we'll start letting you know about any problems we find.

Hey Ash, Welcome to Moz.
Firstly "a campaign" is what you setup to monitor your website's SEO performance. Think of a campaign as like "a project".
"The app" is simply the application/interface where you see all the data pertaining to "the campaign".
If you've not yet setup your first campaign, please go to http://pro.moz.com/campaigns/new and follow the steps.
Once you have a campaign setup go to http://moz.com/pro/home to access it within the app.
Hope that helps,
Woody

More complete campaign reports
SEOMoz campaigns include a lot more data than can be sent via email automatically with the custom reporting feature. So what do people do to send that data to clients? Do you not include it? Or export reports manually and send them on? Or something else?

Is it normal to see the "Loading a sweet graph" message for more than 10 minutesd?
Hi! I'm on the Rankings History page, and for more than ten minutes I have seen this message where I should see data on organic visits: Organic Google traffic for visitors from United States Loading your graph data. Thank you for your patience… Loading a sweet graph... Is this normal? Could there be something wrong with my Google Analytics connection? Thanks! P.S. I looked up "loading a sweet graph" in this forum before posting, but didn't find anything.

Is it possible to do the comparision between a subfolder against a subdomain at SEOmoz campaign tool?
Is it possible to do the comparision between a subfolder against a subdomain at SEOmoz campaign tool? For instance: - I have a client who uses a subdomain model to render your homepage and he has a competitor hosted in a subfolder. It appears to be impossible to do that kind of comparision at the SEOmoz campaign tool. Do you have some other way to do that?

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.
