On Page Grader inconsistent
-
Why does the on page grader not update it's grades based on the other factors, other then the title tag. i.e. I can have the keyword 'burger' in H1 tags, the URL, ALT attributes, in the body text a couple times and in the meta section of the site and receive an F grade from the on page grader, but as soon as I add the word 'burger' to the title I receive an A grade. Is there a reason why the only factor that has that influence is the title tag, and why is it that a keyword for a page cant get say a B or C grade if it has the other factors covered (i.e. they have a tick next to them) but not the title tag?
Cheers Again

Hi Again
Most of the other things are ticked and all good, but my question is why is it that that title tag holds that much weight that everything can be ticked in some cases excluding 2 things and the keyword not mentioned in the title tag and still receive an F grade then as soon as I use the keyword phrase in the title tag it goes from an F to an A instantly. Why is it that there seems to be no consideration for B, C, D and E given that some of the phrases have everything else checked off basically.
Thanks again

Unfortunately, Moz's On Page Grader guide (https://mza.bundledseo.com/help/guides/research-tools/on-page-grader) doesn't discuss the contributing factors in much detail. But if you go into your Moz Analytics and click on the landing page in question in the On Page Grader, it shows you where you're lacking on all their contributing factors. Broad Keyword Use in Page Title is of "critical importance" which isn't too far from reality. But hopefully if you can get all of the other contributing factors sorted, you can at least get your grade increased from an F even if it will never be an A due to the page title.
How many ticks do you have in total? Are all bases covered but the title?

Cant figture out why On-Page Grader is not recognizing the heading tag text
Hi all, I'm using the On-Page Grader tool to optimize some of our pages: https://mz.bundledseo.com/pro/research/page-grader?keyword=Russian Immigration Lawyers in Sacramento&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.russianlawyers.us%2Fus%2Fcalifornia%2Fsacramento-immigration One of the suggestions is "Optimal Use of Keywords in Header Tags". They keyword is "Russian Immigration Lawyers in Sacramento" and we do have it in an tag on the page (located in the right sidebar). The tool doesnt seem to catch that though. Can someone help me please? Thanks

Why isn't the Moz crawler getting all of my item pages?
I am stumped and Moz is being terrible to work with. This site has about 40k pages 39,800 of them are item pages roughly. Moz is only finding about 2400 of my pages. So they are missing most but not all of my item pages. I do not know which item pages they are missing. The fact that they are finding about 2k but not the rest leads me to believe the crawler is struggling with pagination. The site is built on Magento 2 and uses the Amasty Layered Navigation extension. Does anyone have any ideas?

Moz keyword mention on-page counting errors
Hi. Moz is showing 18 mentions of the keyword 'street furniture' on this landing page https://www.broxap.com/street-furniture.html But I can only count 6 in total in the body copy and 13 if you include navigation links. This is the same on other pages too for that keyword. Does anyone know where it's counting these extra keywords from? I don't want to fall foul of keyword stuffing but as far as I can see we're not! Could Moz be miscalculating? Any help appreciated! Thanks Joe

On Page Grader Help
Hi There I am going through the process of using the on page grader and optimising lots of pages, it seems that the difference between getting an F and A grade is simply the title having those keywords however there are keywords that I want to grade well for without stuffing the Title tag with loads of different keywords. Would you say the on page grader is reliable given this and if not could it be optimised to consider the other factors rather then just displaying a tick to say these factors have been considered and achieved.

Should I be getting an 'A' Grade for basic words in a page title?
It seems as long as a word in the page title matches a word(s) within the page content you will get an 'A' grade. Should I be replacing these keywords with higher monthly searches and lower difficulty? It appears deceptive when you test a new website and all the pages get an 'A' for a word as basic as 'about.' Please advise.
