Location National vs. Country - Different Ranking
-
Why is the ranking for a keyword different for the locations National and for example Austria ... both should bring the ranking for the whole country, but often they are different?

Hi Sam!
Thank you for your reply and I understand what you mean. But in this case you should not allow to pick Austria as a location because as a user this lets me think, that I will get the data for Austria. I can find Austria and Vienna in the same location list to pick from, so I was assuming that it will give me Austria as a location.
One more question - when will the Keyword Research - Explore by Site tool be available for Austria / Germany? There are only four countries to choose from right now.
Ciao - Markus

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So the thing is, our volume service doesn't understand Austria as a location - it only understands it as a search engine. They are different in that a location can be tracked in any search engine, so for example someone in Austria can still use google.com. I hope this helps - let me know if you have any other questions!

Ranking now showing on google
So. its kind of weird. on my campaign keywords tracking I now have 4 keywords that my client site is being ranked for. (on Monday it was 2) however on Monday and now too. I cannot find my website when I try and search that keyword manually. i understand that Moz does not update and search every keyword every day but even after a few days now. also the rank tracker show different results for same keywords and these results too seems not accurate what am i missing?

Sudden drop in ranking for keyword. Might i have a penalty?
I redesigned two websites last year www.studiowest.com and www.tracsd.com and didn't suffer any drop in rankings. About a month ago we redesigned again but this time merged the two sites into one, www.studiowest.com. All was well and we were #1 ranked for "recording studio san diego" UNTIL today. (Suddenly we are off the front page at #12. We are still in the 3 pack from my view.) I'm trying to figure out what happened. We did 301 redirects. Could I have been penalized? I'm trying to work on my Google Business pages, there were too many, maybe that affected it? What's the best way to check if I'm penalized or otherwise figure out what happened?

In Moz Medium Pro how many pages can you track for keyword rankings at a time? I know you can track up to 50 in Standard.
I would possibly like to upgrade my subscription from Standard to Medium because I want to be able to track more pages in Rank Tracker. Unfortunately, the product descriptions do not include how many pages you can track in Rank Tracker.

MOZ Onpage grade and Google ranking.
I have found for years that there is not necessarily any connection between the onpage given by Moz and the SEO ranking. "F" page can be #1 in Google for long periods of time, and "A" pages can be unranked. I do not see the consistency, so I am unsure how much time to spend optimizing as suggested. I know there are many factors in rankings, but I just wanted to point out that this lack of consistency makes me hesitate to make changes to well-ranking pages -- especially with algorithm changes happening all the time. It seems that everything is considered over-optimization of late, even if it is all natural language. It is hard to NOT use words or synonyms sometimes on pages, for example... Thank you for your great product. I just want to know how my time to spend on this matter or turn my attention to off-page factors where the inconsistency is hard to figure out.

Did Google Turn Off the Rank Tracking API ??
I might be responding too soon on this... but has anyone been able to use the Moz rank tracker or any other web-based rank-tracking tool that uses the Google API since about noon today (NYC TIME)??

Tracking a domain with multiple locations
Esteemed Marketers of the Moz community, We'd like to track a domain that has a separate web presence for specific locations. In other words, the business has multiple locations in NJ and one in NYC. Any tips and tricks to track how we're doing in the rankings for both NJ and NY? Thanks Much, Paul

Is there any tool that checks the rankings at any time I want?
My problem is that in Moz when I check ranking it shows me only on a weekly basis. Acording to MOZ I was on rank 11 yesterday. This is not what my SEO guy has sent me in his report. And usually he is right. Would be nice to have a ranking report for each day. What is the sense of a ranking tool if I don't know what happened between 2 ranking dates? How can I check that? Is there any rank history tool? Or a tool that will check in real time. The way I do it sometimes is to go on google.com/ncr to see the us version of google because I am in Europe. Rank tracker does not work for me at the moment. Get ranking button is inactive. My old keyword list has not been imported from SEOMOZ
