SEO software for multiple views - Responsive web design
-
We have a responsive web design website and noticed this morning that we are ranking better on a cell phone search than on a PC search. There has been talk about this happening. My competitors do not have cell phone views or responsive websites.
Does anyone know if Moz is planning on adding this kind of ranking information to their reports?
Thanks Carla

Hi guys!
Thanks for the question I am glad you asked that. Currently the SERP collector we are using assumes few IPs and identities to scrub all of the personalization and "biases" that are associated with normal search to give you the most accurate ranking. Mobile search is is fundamentally biased since your phone is a wealth of personalized data and information search engines use to produce rankings (another reason why user data is such a valuable commodity). While mobile rankings is something we are looking for the in the future, at the moment our result remains as a computer search rankings.
We really appreciate feedback and feature requests; they help us decide what parts of our software development to prioritize. Here's the feature request forum we use to collect ideas:

You can vote for features you'd like to see and suggest your own, both of which help our product team in deciding what to build next. Add your request there and hopefully we'll see it come to fruition sometime down the line. Thanks again, and best of luck!
Have a great day,

Hi David,
Thanks for your contribution. I didn't realize Google had different kinds of bots but now that you said it makes a lot of sense. If Google did have a bot for each device it seems like MOZ would have to have one too to be able to produce accurate ranking reports for each device.
Thanks!

- Google Tablet Bot
- Google PC / Laptop Bot
- Google Smart TV Bot???

I have no idea what MOZ is planning to do but you have to love the SEO benefits of offering mobile friendly sites and video as well.
I have had the 1, 2 or 3 spot for SEO my town for nearly 3 months from a half hour of work with video and while we have double the amount of desktop traffic we are tracking 3 times as many of our sales or goals from mobile devices.
I just want to inject, we had a client worried that this was hurting their desktop results because they were scoring better on mobile but it is not an indicator of that at all. Google bot Mobile is one index and Google bot is another. The mobile simply has few competitors and is easier to rank in. This is why you do not have to worry about duplicate content when you chunk out pages for mobile as long as you make your sitemaps correctly.
I didn't serve to answer your question at all but I loved seeing your post and had to comment.

QUESTION. Keyword Stuffing reduction while maintaining SEO optimal density?
Optimizing a keyword for a page on MOZ is telling me with a red exclamation mark to avoid keyword stuffing but if I remove any more of the keyword i will have none left in the content but titles etc. The moz message doesn't go away no matter how many keywords are removed. I am using wordpress i have the keyword the title element, the image alt text, the meta description/title, can't take anymore out of the content nothing seems to change but I can't figure out why?

Will Moving Categories Affect SEO
I recently designed a new website to replace an old site. We managed to hold 90% ranking and traffic by keeping the same URS's and content. Now that we have completed that we are now updating the whole site. It is an commerce website. Some of the items we were selling we are getting from a new vendor. If I move these products from one one vendor to another will this affect SEO? Here is an example. I have a product called "Green Zipper Sweater". This product is Anchored via Manufacturer and Category. The URL and Title Tag are green-zipper-sweater. If the Sweater was made by "Nike Green Sweaters" and our new supplier is "Gap Yellow and Green Sweaters". If I change the the Manufacturer and now put it under "Gap Green and Yellow Sweaters" will this affect my ranking. We are continuing to stock products from the original supplier "Nike Green Sweaters" and we have an aggressive SEO plan and are ranking very well for "Nike Green Sweaters". We also have good product ranking so "Green Zipper Sweater" brings us a lot of traffic. I want to be sure I do not loose ranking for the product page "Green Zipper Sweater" and the Brand "Nike Green Sweaters" Any advice would be appreciated.

How To Confidently Start SEOing?
Hi Guys, Im a Web developer (Front end and back end). Ive been learning SEO tips and tricks for the last 2 years but didn't have courage to apply them to any of my clients because of lack of confidence. I say lack of confidence because I never had a SEO Guru teaching me the "Proper" way to do SEO and see ranks change OR how to really take the first step when it comes to a SEO Project, so I didnt know how to even see if my work is paying off. Now I got this client who is a Vehicle Importer in Melbourne, and he imports cars from Japan. Im charging him $200/month for 12 months to improve SEO and cut down his competition and get his site on Google. But I have no idea where to start. His site has a blog setup already and its pretty good structure wise. I have done the On page optimizations and sitemaps etc etc, but not sure what to do next like to build links ?? or do off page optimizations, or do keyword research or really get the site on Google without any bull****?? Can you guys please please show me how to start a SEO project and how to actually use the new Moz to his best use? Thanks a lot for helping me. Regards

Localize Web App
Is there a way to "localize the web app"? In other words, get ranking results based on a location? I pecked around the forum and documentation but couldn't find anything. Any plans to move in this direction? I'm getting wildly different results based on browser location settings. Any thoughts are welcome.
