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.

Hi David,
At this point our local rankings product is still a few months out; we will be releasing multiple local products in Q1 of next year. That's about all I can say publicly right now, but please stay tuned!

Hi David,
Any updates on the progress of local search?
Like most other businesses, we don't care how we rank outside of our targeted areas (Detroit and Philadelphia). But, for users within our DMA, we care very much if we are coming up on page 1.
If you can figure this out, you'll get much much love.

Hi Andrew and Christopher,
Thanks for contributing to this thread. I've just returned from vacation to Miriam's email in my inbox. We're definitely looking to bring more local reporting features to our customers over the next few months & appreciate you voicing this request, as it helps us prioritize features internally.
Thanks again for being a part of our community!

Hi Andrew,
I've alerted the staff to your feedback. Thanks so much for letting us know what would make our tools more useful to you!

Miriam,
Thanks for your reply on this... To clarify, what I'm suggesting is a keyword report for local search results. Currently, the Keyword report does show local results; however, it's not something that you can filter results for within the search. A dedicated report that allows us to see where our clients rank for keywords in local results could be a very powerful tool.
Thanks again!
Andrew

Surely some one from SEOMOZ team can answer it in best way.The amount of info I have I do not think its easy to report that you have added that many number of reviews and you got that many number of citations so you are ranking on this position now.
The role each citation and review plays differ in each case so I do not think so its quite effective form of reporting.Rather than descriptive approach looks fine for now with brief addition of number of citations and reviews you got up till now.

Increase in Rankings, but search visibility is decreasing
I just started updating my site with the very basics, focus keyword, meta description, and page titles. I see that I am going up in my targeted keywords, however my search visibility has dropped from 3.34% to 2.78%. My assumption is that my keyword choice is a little off, however I see that I have increased in keyword rankings and dropped very little in what I was ranking for previously, plus the keyword volume seems relatively the same. In fact I've added far more keywords than I have dropped. Curious why my search visibility has dropped, however my keyword rankings only seem to increase.

Search Volume in Keyword Rankings Page
Is there a way to show search volumes for keywords in the Keyword Rankings tab page? A lot of times keywords we are ranking for are added to our campaign, and it would be very useful to see the search volumes within that grid. That way we could sort by the search volume and determine which keywords are worth targeting and optimizing for. I've had this ability with other software in the past and would be a great option for either Moz Pro version or the new Beta that is coming out. Which I'm still waiting for my invite BTW:)

Rankings csv export doesn't show local rank
Is there a way to enable this in the settings somewhere? or is this simply not an available feature yet? Would be really great if there was an extra column in the report that shows local rank, as 93 of our top 100 keywords we track are all blended search results and a lot of the time this shows really inaccurate results because of this.
