Lower PA and DA but ranking at #5
-
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me suss out what I'm missing here. There are two issues that have me pretty confused.
#1: Ubersuggest is correctly indicated a ranking for this web page while it's not mentioned anywhere in Moz as a ranking keyword.
#2: The page is ranking at #5 on page 1 for this search term and beating out the likes of rollingstone.com and other 90+ DA and 50+ PA results while only having a PA 15 and DA 22.
My concern here is that I'm missing out on other rankings that might actually be attainable.

Hi there!
For your first query, it sounds like you're looking at Keyword Explorer Ranking Keywords - is that right? If so, I would note that while our database is quite large, it doesn't contain all keywords for all locations. This is why it's common for folks to use a range of tools as each will have a slightly different database with different strengths to do their keyword research.
In regards to your second query, I would echo Alick300's reply, that the thread they shared is a wealth of information.
Basically PA and DA indicate the likelihood that a page or domain will rank. However what page will actually rank for any given search is really up to the search engine algorithm, they consider a while array of factors, to do with on-page and off-page optimization. relevancy and authority.
We've got a very comprehensive guide to DA which I strongly recommend.
I hope this helps to clarify!

There are rankings that are incorrect and some users that have the same ranking than other users. I've attached some pics. GR 25603b49292acd5d68f7dd6a43977f94 6d8fea557f6ed2de23466f6c7df850eb0 -
A good ranking Tool to generate reports for multiple markets
Hi, Unfortunately, Moz doesn't offer any feature to generate 1 report with the multiple keywords I have across different campaigns. Since I am running around 10-11 campaigns, it's quite time consuming to create the reports manually. Could you please suggest any good tool/service that can generate a report for multiple keywords across different campaigns ?

Location specific MOZ Ranking changes - How to track them
Hi All, I have asked this question before here but haven't got any convincing answers. And now I am starting to see this in couple of my other projects . I'm not sure how many facing similar issue like mine but its bit tricky. Our company is based in Melbourne,Australia and we set MOZ campaign setting to google.com.au . The weekly moz ranking for one of the client keyword showed as Position Rank#29. But when I Checked Manually it is Ranking #3. So why does the moz show as 29 ? **Keyword: **car exhaust Website: www.professionalexhaust.com.au To Replicate, I set the google search to google.com.au and on Search Tools I changed location as **Australia ( by default its set to Melbourne ). **When I did search now my result came in Page 3 - No.29 rank. Note: By default the Google browser picks the location as Melbourne and gives localized result which is not tracked by MOZ. Now how do I track this in Moz to show localized ranking results which my customer see. I cant report this ranking to client, else I have to do a manual report which is time consuming . Note : This is Tested in InCognito mode with all cache cleared.

Rank Tracker - URLs are Different when Exporting to CSV
When exporting to CSV in Rank Tracker, many of the URLs are reduced to the root domain instead of the full, ranking URL as seen within the tool. Right now the URLs must be copied/pasted or manually edited afterwards in the CSV. However, it doesn't happen to every item. A few of them do show the correct URL after being exported. Any idea if this is a bug or just an odd thing the export does?
