Why can't the dates be changed in automatic reports?
-
I want to be able to change the publish date of automatic reports in my campaigns. One such campaign, which is a client campaign, it's set to run on the 8th after I selected "monthly".
However, this doesn't work for me as this client want's to meet each month on between the 2nd and 5th of each month and I have to have this report data. So, I need to run this report on the first. Not the 2nd, not every 4 weeks... on the first.
It seems like you guys have a fundamental flaw in the design of this tool, as great as it is. You've set the projects to auto run each month from the date it was added (at least from what I can tell). Provided that's true, then this would explain why the monthly reports won't work on my schedule because their on a weekly schedule instead.
We, as clients, should be given the option to schedule when our scanning runs, when our reports get generated, etc. Every company runs their SEO and marketing differently, but the away you've set this up with the lack of options for us, forces us to work around your tools scheduling and not the other way around.
Also, out of all of the SEO tools I've tried (quite a few), none have had this limitation.
This should be addressed immediately.
Thanks,
Micha

Just wanted to agree with the above and say that the ability to schedule custom reports to run on a particular date per month is really important for us too.

I totally agree with that. I've been with Moz for a little over a year I think and I've seen a couple minor things gets added, but no real fixes to the problems I've had. Literally, all of my major problems I've been asking them about have all been unanswered, or at least unresolved.

The MOZ response to this seems to be, "we're not giving our users the features they want and need because, gosh, it's hard."
What I want to see is a clear response with a committed date for the release of this feature.

MOZ... PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS!!
It's critical for the way tons of us work, yet you're ignoring the issue, or at least not being open about what you're doing to solve this.
We're scaling fast, and my workarounds for not having this are quickly becoming a problem.
Please give us the choice of when to run reports just like every other dashboard in the world. Thanks.

I agree with Micha... it's VERY important to me to be able to set a specific date for monthly reports.
-
sorry about posting again, but this question was marked answered, but not by me. I don't consider this answered at all.
How do I change this status, or is that up to you to decide when our issues are solved for us?

Oh yeah... and a full data set would be available at least by month 2 in this scenario.

I get it was designed to run on an auto schedule. However, you could still do that and still appease my needs here (an I'm sue a lot of others as well). Here's how easy this is:
Let you crawler keep running on it's normal weekly schedule. But, when you select "monthly" from the report frequency, allow me to choose which week. Problem solved!
I'm pretty sure that's not too complicated. As it stands now, I get my monthly report AFTER my monthly client meeting. You've got to understand that this is a serious oversight that can seriously hurt SEO agencies.
You need to address this asap! Thanks.

Hey Micha,
The custom reports for Moz Analytics were designed to run on set schedules based on a weekly/monthly/quarterly schedule. This was done because we wanted to make sure full data sets were available at the time the report was generated. That said, we have been receiving requests for custom campaign crawl dates - which would be tied to reporting. I don't have an ETA on a release for anything like this but will pass this along as feedback to our Product team.

My trial version has expired and I didn't cancel the account. Need urgent refound!
Hello! I need help, I can't afford this right now and I didn't cancel by mistake, not on purpose. It happened that the mails -don't know why- arrived to de spam folder and I didn't know that I was being charged directly. I tried Moz for a presentation to a prospect two months ago. But I didn't get the client, so I still can't afford, it and I didn't use it. I'm sorry for the mistake, I only noticed this today when I checked my Spam folder casually. Please I need a refound! I will get a pro a account in the future, as soon as I can, because I love Moz! But now it's impossible to me to afford it, I'm in a big trouble. I hope you can understand my situation. Thanks a lot!

Moz pricing plans don't make sense
Hey. I posted a question about this on my other Moz account (one I use for moz local), but it appears to have been removed, so here goes again. Can someone from Moz please explain to me why that in your plans, as the price goes up and more campaigns are allowed, the amount of keywords tracked per campaign goes down? $149 plan - 5 campaigns - 450 keywords = 90 keywords per campaign. $249 plan - 25 campaigns - 1100 keywords = 44 keywords per campaign $599 plan - 100 campaigns - 3700 keywords = 37 keywords per campaign What confuses me here with your pricing plans is two fold Modern SEO requires a lot of quality content, interlinked together to rank well (in most cases). Your SEO guides even talk about this. Blogging is one of the most popular ways to do this. However, in any modest website these days, especially one that runs a blog, how does tracking only 37 keywords per campaign make sense? The fact is, that even your starter plan with only 90 per campaign doesn't make sense. My business website is tracking about 300 (that actually drive traffic). I provide my SEO clients with the same type of work I would do for my self, which again reinforces that 37 keywords is plainly pathetic. Every online pricing model I've ever seen follows one simple rule: When price goes up, you get more for your money, not less. At first glance you might think that is what you're getting when you step up a plan and get more campaigns, but then to have less keywords per campaign simply doesn't make sense at all. What does make sense is to have a more flexible pricing model. Instead of locking us into set tiers which don't really make sense, you should allow a more flexible pricing BEFORE we have to go up to enterprise. Why not have a per project price of 'x' price per month, then have a price per keyword or maybe per 100 keywords. This would allow all of us the flexibility to run campaign depths that make sense for us, not for your counterintuitive views of how we should be tracking them. Again, I'd really like a Moz staff person to respond to this as the last time I commented about this, it was removed.

Can I create different login accounts to access different campaigns?
For various reasons, I'd like to create different login accounts for Moz for different campaigns, so staff can only access the campaigns that they're given permissions to. Is this possible?

Can I add more than 100 keywords while under Free Trial?
Since signing up for a trial account we've imported around 200 keywords that we'd like to start tracking. We added in our keywords last Friday, but as of today (Monday) I can only see 100 KWs displayed under the Keywords Analytics view. My first assumption was that there's a 100-KW cap for trial accounts, but while adding our KWs we received no message or notice that we'd maxxed out the amount we could add and made it all the way to the end of the list of 200. Is this in fact the case? Thanks in advance.

How do I make sure my account doesn't auto-renew
Our account is up for renewal in 10 days, but I want to switch off the auto-renewal. How do I do this? I've tried to resolve the issues we're having with support but am getting nowhere. Was promised an update on Friday but no-one got back to me. These issues have been going on for months. Fed up of paying for something we're no longer getting. I've been recommending Moz for years, but things really seem to have slipped lately. Sorry to air this publicly but my frustration, waiting for replies and not getting what we're paying for are spilling over. A very unhappy paying customer.

Changing login email not working
I am looking to switch our main account email to my colleague's but when I go to change it to hers I get an error saying the "account already exists". She has a free Moz account, why can I not associate her with our paid account?
