Spam score Reduction is possible or not?
Hey there! Unfortunately there is not currently a way to mark links as disavowed in Moz tools. Generally Spam Score should be used a guideline to investigate potential penalization issues rather than a concrete checklist. If you know that you've worked on your harmful backlinks, you can usually ignore that warning! Learn more about Spam score with the following articles: Spam Score: Moz's New Metric to Measure Penalization Risk Understanding and Applying Moz's Spam Score Metric - Whiteboard Friday

Sitemaps and Indexed Pages
Sorry - I missed the part about you looking specifically at the Moz crawler. While useful, it's a stand-in for what will actually be used for rankings - namely the actual crawls by the search engine crawlers themselves. I'd be looking right to the source for that info if you're concerned there's an issue, rather than trusting just Mozbot. You can find the SE crawlers data in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Look for trends and patterns there, especially around the sitemap report. The challenge to a Screaming Frog-rendered sitemap is that it can only find what's linked. If the site has orphaned pages or an ineffective internal linking scheme, a crawl could easily miss pages. It's certainly better than no sitemap, but a map generated by the site's technology itself (usually the database) is safer. P.

Sitemaps and Indexed Pages
Thanks Eli! I guess I was wondering if the MOZ Bot only followed pages that were in the sitemap. It was generated by Screaming Frog I have trusted it to include all relevant pages! I have put in a more detailed description in the response below. Overall I need to investigate further but i'm satisfied that the sitemap has not caused the drop!

New to the SEO world
Hi there! Sam from Moz's Help Team here! That are multiple things you can do in Moz in order to find the best keywords for implementation! Here are some resources for you: The Keyword Research guide is a really good place to start! There's a great post in the Moz Blog about creative free keyword research If you're looking for insight into competitor keywords, try heading over to Open Site Explorer, pop in your competitor's URL, and take a look at the anchor text associated with their links. This can be a huge indicator of targeted keywords, which you might now decide to compete for! If you're curious how well you (or a competitor) is ranking for a certain keyword, or how well a certain page on your site ranks, hop on over to the Rank Tracker Use the Keyword Explorer tool to check how hard or easy it will be to rank for a certain keyword. Words with a higher difficulty score are harder to achieve rankings for, so some users will target lower difficulty words first and later tackle the hard ones. Something different works for everyone, though! When you've got your keywords and are ready to optimize your pages for them, check out the On-Page Grader. This will check a particular URL for optimization with a particular keyword or keyword phrase, and offer a grade based on how well it fares, as well as suggestions for improvement. I'm afraid we aren't SEO consultants on the Help Team and are just here to support the Moz tools so I can't say exactly how long it might take for your changes to be reflected in the SERPS, but you might want to review this helpful article on that front: https://www.reliablesoft.net/how-long-does-it-take-to-rank-in-google/! I hope this helps!

DA not updated???
I've experienced the same thing, but it wasn't very long before the MozBar caught up. Sam's answer was helpful too!

Mozscape API Updates (Non-updates!) - becoming a joke!
Hey Matt - I can get into some of the nitty gritty details on this. Basically - we've been having trouble of all kinds with Mozscape, and while our team has indeed been working around the clock, the reality is that it's an old, clunky, hard-to-understand system that needs to be replaced entirely. That work is also going on, but as you might imagine, has a separate team on it, which means the Mozscape team's bandwidth is split. Mozscape has crawling trouble - we've had issues with our own crawler design, specifically with spam that's fooled our crawlers (it's designed to fool Google, obviously, but has caught us, too), and biased our index. We also had an issue where some code was commented out that helped us recrawl important pages and other issues (along with a couple of longtime engineering departures) made that invisible to us for a good few months (even with it fixed, it will take an index or two to get back to normal). We've had other issues with hardware and bandwidth restrictions, with team changes, with unintentionally excluding important sites and important pages on sites due to erroneous changes on our end, with robots.txt interpretation mistakes. You name it. It's been pretty frustrating because it's never a single issue coming up again and again, but rather new issues each time. The team currently on the Mozscape project is relatively new -- we had almost complete turnover on that team in the last year (a combination of voluntary and non), so there's a lot of rampup and trying to understand what things do, and fix old problems, etc. I'm sure as an engineer you're familiar with those types of challenges, especially when the documentation isn't pristine. IMO - those are crappy excuses. We should be better. We will be better. I don't provide them to pardon our shitty quality the last few months, but rather because you said you wanted detail, and I do love transparency. I think we're going to have a tough slog until the new index system comes out (likely this Fall). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we can repair each new problem and that few others arise, but the past 6 months have made me wary of overpromising and under-delivering. BTW - it is true that the ML model means there's lots of DA flux as the goal is to be as accurate as possible with Google's changes, so if we see a site with certain types of inputs matching patterns of sites that don't rank as well, that DA will drop. Given that Google's rankings fluctuate all the time, that our crawlers fluctuate a lot (more than they should, as noted above), and that the link graph changes constantly, a lot of flux in DA is to be expected. That said, the new model will have DA refreshed daily, rather than monthly, and will also have history, as well as a way to dig in and see what inputs are big in DA and how those have changed. I think all of that will help make these shifts vastly more transparent, even if they continue to be high (which they should so long as Google's own flux is high). One thing I am working on with the team - a different kind of score, called something like "domain visibility" or "rankings visibility" that tracks how visible a site's pages are in a large set of Google rankings. I think that score might be more what clients are seeking in terms of their overall performance in Google, vs. their performance in the link graph and how their links might be counted/correlated with higher/lower rankings.

Is there an easy way to get MOZ data into Google Sheets?
Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here. I'm afraid our tools don't have directly integration with Google Sheets, but you can always download Moz data in CSV format and transfer that into Google Sheets manually, but it's not something we offer an automatic way of doing. Sorry about that! Please let us know if there's more we can assist with or clarify! -Kristina

API Access Change
Hi Steven! We have always had separate API plans. One change for free access is we no longer offer a higher rate limit for Pro subscriptions. So free access will only be limited to 1 request every 10 seconds.

To get top searched from the website
Hi there, It looks like you asked this question here and also wrote in to us via our help channels. I have responded to you there. Unfortunately, this is not something that we are able to offer. We currently only have an API for links, not for keywords, and we don't collect the data you're looking for. If we do offer this in the future, there'll be an announcement on the Moz Blog and I'd recommend keeping an eye on there.
