Posted by dudleycarr[Estimated read time: 3 minutes] At the end of last year, we launched Moz Local Insights, and then I read this comment on Phil Rozek’s blog: “To be honest, we’ve been finding issues in the citation quality — it seems like their directory partners are changing up how they update information and not keeping stuff as consistent as we’d all like.

Posted by Dr-PeteWhen we do keyword research, we tend to focus on discovery. We take a short list of keywords we think matter, brainstorm wildly, paste the resulting list into a dozen tools, paste the results back into Excel, and measure our success by how often our spreadsheet crashes. Then, we throw it all away when our tax attorney client tells us he only cares about ranking #1 for "taylor swift downloads," because he heard that gets a lot of traffic.Maybe I'm exaggerating. Keyword discovery is a critica... →

After much testing, here are some of my favorites that every small business should have in their tool box. [Editor's Not... →

Posted by randfishA year ago, in April of 2015, I pitched a project internally at Moz to design and launch a keyword research tool, one of the few areas of SEO we've never comprehensively tried to serve. The pitch took effort and cajoling (the actual, internal pitch deck is available here), but eventually received approval, with one big challenge... We had to do it with a team already dedicated to the maintenance and development of our rankings collections and research tools. This project wouldn't get addit... →

Posted by larry.kim[Estimated read time: 13 minutes] Last month we discussed why organic CTR is kind of a big deal. I believe that click-through rate is tremendously valuable and that achieving above-average CTRs can lead to better rankings, particularly on long tail queries. But even if you don't believe click-through rate can impact rankings, optimizing for a higher CTR still means you're optimizing toward the goal of attracting more clicks. More clicks means more traffic and higher conversion rates — bec... →

Posted by sherisaidIn nearly every business website owner's life, the time comes when you have to switch servers. Most of us start small with what we can afford, assuming we can scale up as we grow. At some point, we outgrow the web host and wind up with slow, limited service and an outdated back office — or worse — an update that doesn't support your processes and makes a mess of everything.Before I became a writer, I worked for many years at a small web hosting company. Part of my job (which had a lot of ... →

Posted by MiriamEllisWhy proper onboarding mattersImagine getting three months in on a Local SEO contract before realizing that your client’s storefront is really his cousin’s garage. From which he runs two other “legit” businesses he never mentioned. Or that he neglected to mention the reviews he bought last year. Worse yet, he doesn’t even know that buying reviews is a bad thing. The story is equally bad if you’re diligently working to build quality unique content around a Chicago client’s business in Wic... →
