How to have MOZ site crawl pre-launch
-
Hi,
Our new website is about to launch.
We would love to have moz.com SITE CRAWL our site before launch.
For issues like "missing meta description" and everything else that moz.com checks.
We would love to do it before we launch.
The new site is currently on a different domain than our live site.
example.com <-- this is our live site.
new-site.com <-- this is our "staging" server with the new site.
We have a long running campaign for example.com
Do we need to create a new campain for new-site.com ? Or is there some other simpler way?
When we launch we will switch the site from new-site.com to example.com .. example.com will be the address for the new site..
Any ideas or suggestions? best practices?
edit Forgot to say thank you for your help and input

Thank you!
Yes, we did create a campaign and it worked out fine.
Ofcourse the crawler complains about our site having meta noindex... But it found other issues as well! including a nasty redirect chain and a bunch of broken links!

Hi Ibbe,
Thanks for reaching out! Jo from the Moz support team here.
Each campaign tracks the url entered when it's created. So in order to track a new site you would indeed need to create a new campaign. You can do that here https://mz.bundledseo.com/campaigns/new
Also it's worth noting that your staging site would need to be publicly available for our crawler to reach and crawl it.
I hope this helps, please do let me know if you would like more clarification or have any other queries.
You're welcome to reach out to [email protected] if you get stuck :]
Jo

We recently switched from HTTP to HTTPS and we are having crawling issues!
We switched our website from HTTP to HTTPS and we started to get an email from Moz about the robots.txt being unable to crawl our website. The website is hosted through wordpress but we haven't had any issues until we switched. We have no idea what to do or even what the problem is! If you have had a similar problem and fixed it, we need your help! Thank you.

Why do ignored crawl issues still count as issues?
I use Cloudflare, so I can't avoid the Crawl Error for "Pages with no Meta Noindex" because of the way Cloudflare protects email addresses from harvesting (it creates a new page that has no meta noindex values). I marked this issue as "ignore" because there's nothing I can do about it, and it doesn't really affect my site's performance from an SEO standpoint. But even marked as ignore, it is still included in my site crawl issues count. Of course, I want to see that issues count drop to zero, but that can't happen if the ignored issues are counted. I don't want mark it fixed, because technically it's not fixed. KwPld

Under Traffic Sources, mz.bundledseo.com is listed as a source for 37 sessions this past month. What might this be? Is it legitimate traffic or should I be filtering this?

If anyone can tell me what tool is best to find reasons google has not indexed my site, I would greatly appreciate the help. Also if anyone knows why I am keep getting routed to this forum when I try to use any of the tools, I would also appreciate help with this. So far Moz is very frustrating.

Crawling Website
How often does Moz crawl the website? I have a lot of high priority crawl issues but my web development team says that it fixed them. However, Moz still shows me that none of the errors are fixed.

How does MOZ assign a keyword to a page in the On Page Grades by Keyword Ranking
I'm in the beta analytics tool. In the On Page Optimization > On Page Grades by Keyword section, there is a Keyword column with a keyword assigned to each URL on my site. http://mz.bundledseo.com/search/on-page/572409.326269 How is the keyword that is shown here decieed upon? Is it simply based on a guess of the "best keyword" for each page based on kwp density and other factors? Can I map a new keyword to each page? or at least to my top ten most important pages? I see I can check the grade for any keyword on any page here: http://mz.bundledseo.com/search/manage-page-grades/572409.326269. I want to map my top ten pages to ten keywords - can I save these changes in the system so I don't have to manually check a keyword/url match each time? Shaun
