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,

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.

How do I change back to a free membership?
I am no longer satisfied with paying for my "Pro" moz membership. I miss having phone support, but moz personnel have told me, "don't worry, we have chat support, and that's just as good!" So just now I tried to downgrade my membership status from "pro" to free", but now you have to fill in ALL of your credit card information, just to cancel(!) If you don't believe me, just try it. Anyway, I thought that maybe I was just not understanding how to do it, so I tried using the chat system to ask for help, and here's what happened. ================= me: How do I downgrade from my current "pro" subscription to a free subscription (if there still is such a thing as a free one)?

Just a moment... Sorry for the delay! We've got more chats than usual. If you need to run, please feel free to leave us a message and we'll get back to you soon. Thanks!
me: Pretty ironic. I am cancelling my paid subscription because you dropped phone support but you (your company) told me, "oh don't worry, chat support is just as good" ================= And, I waited for ten minutes before giving up and asking here. I hope that at least some other customer can answer this question for me. This is a perfect example of why phone support is important, chat support is ok but not always sufficcient, and why in general it's not satisifactory (to me, at least), to basically tell customers to go ask for help in the Q&A forums because the company won't budget sufficiently to provide customer support with its own personnel. Sad, too, because I've been a moz customer for over 4 years. There just isn't enough difference in value for me to continue, considering the other tools that are available now, some of which do provide satisfactory support. Thanks, for anyone who can answer my question.0 -
I have upgraded my account but I can't add another site. What to do?
Simple, I want to get out of my free trial. I need to work with two/three sites. I seem to have access to five accounts... but I can't add a site. Very frustrating.

Can I still view archived campaigns if the subscrition is downgraded to the free version?
We have made a company decision to use another tool for the purpose of rank tracking and want to downgrade our Moz subscription to improve our bottom line. The current debate is whether the archived information has enough value to justify keeping a subscription. I am desperately hoping to circumvent this foolish, time consuming debate by being able to view archived campaign data from the free subscription, is this possible? Thanks in advance.
