What to start with? Moz also offers so much; what report should I start with?
-
As a new Moz user, what should I do first?
-
That's really usefull
-
Thanks so much. This gives me the guidance I need to start.
-
- Get connected
Make sure that you hook up GA to your profile, in addition to all of your social profiles. This makes sure Moz can get all your data. Also, be sure to make sure that your robots.txt does not have anything wonky in it that would stop Moz from getting a good crawl of your site.
- Keywords
Put in the keywords you want to track so that you can start getting data on those as well. If you are not sure where to start, they have tools and tutorials to help
- Brand mentions / keyword monitoring
Set this up so you can start getting alerts on your brand and major key terms
-
Let everything run for about 1 week so you can get all of your data in.
-
Set a calendar or other reminder first think when you get into work on Friday to watch the latest Whiteboard Friday video (some of my favorite content on the site)
-
Set a schedule so that when you get email alerts from Moz you can do the following
a) See if you need to fix any technical seo items based on your Moz crawl
b) See if you have any link outreach opportunities based on your brand monitoring
c) Check any trends in ranking of your key pages
d) Start a regular audit of your most important pages for your most important keywords to see if you need to make any modifications to pages.
- After about a month in, read everything you can get your hands on around Open Site Explorer. Download the CSV that has your data and consider things like
a) Are there any bad links (links from sites with a high spam score) that I might need to disavow?
b) Are there any links that are no followed to my site that I could request to be changed to a follow?
c) What are my competitors doing and can I gain similar links?
d) Are there any new links that I need to reach out to those sites and say thanks to or otherwise network with?
- When you have read everything about all the above or during any of the above points, feel free to search the QNA and or ask questions. This list is just part of what you can do.

Got a problem in using MOZ Crawl test
Hello,
Getting Started | | turkeyanaclinic
Guys i need help as i'm getting this message "**Moz was unable to crawl your site on Dec 26, 2017. **Our crawler was not able to access the robots.txt file on your site. This often occurs because of a server error from the robots.txt. Although this may have been caused by a temporary outage, we recommend making sure your robots.txt file is accessible and that your network and server are working correctly. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster."
After i made a Campaign i'm getting this message but after i created new campaign it crawls well
can you help me to edit the old campaign ? Regards.0 -
Error Selecting Search Engine During Moz Campaign Set-Up
Hi, I'm setting up a Moz campaign for a new client, and when I get to the third step, "Choose the search engines for which you would like to track rankings," there's nothing to select. No drop down, or anything, just a blank field under the heading. If I try to advance, I get an error pop-up that says I must select a search engine. Has anyone else run into this problem? What should I do? GlWPAsc zAmzqFf

Moz Analytics - Custom Report Question
Hello Moz Forums! I'm having problems building custom reports for my clients. So, i've managed to put together a few reports and I've set these to be scheduled for weekly automated emailing! Now, here's the problem, before sending it to my clients, I was testing this by sending it to myself. This is what I receive: http://www.freelance-seo.co.uk/images/Moz.png I don't really want my clients to see 'By Moz!' everywhere when I send this out, is there a way to change this automated mail? Or a way to just just send the PDF without a link? Alternatively, have I just failed in using this product? Edit: Just to clarify! The 'simply change your report settings' option, just takes me to an option to edit the report title, not the email in any way.

Daily Reports
Hi I am new to Moz, (6 days New) Moz has done the initial crawl and report on my site, it has gathered some Google analytics data from my account, it has ranked 150 Keywords from me, it has found my backlinks and reported accordingly. All seemed to be well until I realised that it has not updated my information for a few days now.
Getting Started | | numbers
The Weekly reports are labelled 27th Nov 2013 plus I have a daily report from the 1st December 2013 and that is it. I am wondering if I am missing something, it all started so well and now has appears to have stopped.
I know that 6 days is early and wont get any real good data for a few weeks or even months,
But I was under the impression that I could get things like my daily search traffic reports for the search engines ( yes I have added 3 search engines google, bing and yahoo to my campaign) So any ideas would be useful or am I just being impatient and my data will appear in a few days 😞 Many Thanks0 -

How does MOZ assign a keyword to a page in the On Page Grades by Keyword Ranking
I'm in the beta analytics tool. In the On Page Optimization > On Page Grades by Keyword section, there is a Keyword column with a keyword assigned to each URL on my site. http://analytics.moz.com/search/on-page/572409.326269 How is the keyword that is shown here decieed upon? Is it simply based on a guess of the "best keyword" for each page based on kwp density and other factors? Can I map a new keyword to each page? or at least to my top ten most important pages? I see I can check the grade for any keyword on any page here: http://analytics.moz.com/search/manage-page-grades/572409.326269. I want to map my top ten pages to ten keywords - can I save these changes in the system so I don't have to manually check a keyword/url match each time? Shaun
