Best Rank Tracking tool w/ data exports or APIs
-
I have briefly reviewed the API data available through the Moz API endpoints and did not see that the rank tracking data is available. I first wanted to confirm that?
Second, I am looking to start tracking rank for nearly 1 million keywords (local pages multiplied by dozens of core keywords). I want to watch the rankings for a region move over time, as well as keywords generally, and then keywords in a region. My momentary initial research shows that there are a LOT of rank tracker tools, which felt a bit overwhelming to sift through them all and figure out which one would be best.
My biggest needs are:
- handling lots of keywords and URLs
- exporting the data automatically (via an API or recurring export)
- allowing for localized results without having to qualify the keywords
- not breaking the bank to do so -- I'm not an SEO w/ multiple clients, these are all on 1 domain

Ahhh maybe LinkAssistant then?
http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/
You can setup to track different locations "as" different search engines & track ongoing progress across many KWs & campaigns.
Test it out (free) and see if it does relatively what you're looking for but I think it should.

I should have been more clear. It's not really a million keywords. It's more like 25-35 keywords, but they each rank differently in each local metro area, which means it looks / feels like that many keywords.
I'd love to not have to fuss with setting up my own proxies and software - I'd prefer SaaS if I can find one that is affordable that does this for me.

I can't imagine how you're going to rank track a million keywords (or even how you'd have time to look at that much data to make meaningful insights).
Let's assume that it makes sense to do so, however. I think you need Rank Tracker by Link Assistant. It technically allows "unlimited" keywords for tracking.
The issue is blocking. You're going to also need a proxy package setup in it. (maybe Squid, BuyProxies, YPP, Proxy-Hub, Errsy, etc.)
Once you have a big enough proxy package, run til your heart's content. It keeps historic data, etc.
I would suggest creating multiple campaigns for your locations so you can run each one at once, etc. and see how that one group did. If you create a campaign for each, it'll be much easier to see those buckets and make some decisions & figure out where to apply your efforts.

Is dynamic keyword insertion a viable local SEO tactic/strategy for your content?
Hi mozzers, I have a meeting tomorrow with the dev team to discuss about dynamic keyword insertion implementation on a new site. This site currently holds 40 geo specific microsites with several service pages each carrying unique content. These pages(about 400 pages) are seen by VP of marketing as hard to maintain and inconvenient when wanting to change content across these pages. The VP is looking to automate content as much as possible without hurting our local SEO efforts. The dev team will be asking me if dynamic keyword insertion could a viable strategy for these 40 locations without harming local SEO. Currently we have a robust local SEO strategy in place and wouldn't want to change it unless dynamic keyword insertion is a viable option and won't hurt all the seo efforts that are in place? If this is not a viable solution, any recommendations on any other solutions we could use to satisfy the VP? If you have used DKI for your local SEO efforts, please share your thoughts and results that you have seen. Any real case scenario data/knowledge would be really helpful. Thank you!

Rank Locally and Globally (or at least Nationally)
I work with an interior design whom I've persuaded to purchase a virtual street address in the town she wanted to work in years ago. She has a Skokie, IL business address that has been claimed and confirmed across the internet. Now, she is growing and wants her new website to not only be optimized for the more affluent areas of Chicago but she also would like to gain Global notice, (I'd settle for National). My problems: She doesn't want to purchase a street address in Chicago because it is a pain to go get her mail. What do I do about all her directory listings and review sites that have her located in Skokie if I can persuade her to get a Chicago address? Do I leave the Skokie address and add more content targeting keyword phrases with Chicago? What should be my initial focus here? I feel it is a smaller target and less competition to go after Chicago but she wants to start spreading her wings and work all over the world. Help!!

Domain Forwarding and Rankings
I recently purchased two custom domains (www.greenvillencshredding.com and www.shreddinggreenvillenc.com) that are being forwarded to a page on my site (http://www.crmi-online.com/shredding-greenville-nc.html). The purpose for this is because I am trying everything I know to get my rankings above my competitor for shredding services in our market of Greenville,NC. I thought that purchasing a custom domain might help but I have not seen any results and they are ranking in the bottom 50's. Any suggestions to help get my rankings up for my service/area? Thanks a bunch!

Attacking Doorway/Thin Content pages?
What's the best way to approach fixing thin "city+services" pages? Would recommend doing one page at a time? Or doing a little on a bunch of pages at a time? For example, rewrite one page with 1,000 words of unique content, adding city specific images/videos of services rendered and local testimonials over the course of a week? Then go to the next page the following week? Or, one week add city specific images/videos to all the pages you can? Then, the next week add something else to all the pages? I'm trying to figure out the best way to scale this, and also which way google/search engines would prefer/look more kindly at? Thanks, Ruben

Im a big fan of niche web develop/seo companies. I was wondering how many clients can you ethically take on in the same field, located in the same city
How do niche web development companies justify having multiple clients in the same field in the same cities. I would love an explanation on how to justify this, and how many clients in the same field/same city is acceptable. A good example would be an seo company for auto dealers or hotels. Thanks
