Way to Avoid Local Results in Keyword Difficulty Tool

[nixforsix]

I'm trying to use the Keyword Difficulty Tool to research some keywords. However, I keep getting local Seattle results in the SERPs.  For example, if I search for "guitar lessons". At least 4 of the 10 results seem to be Seattle based (I guess because of SEOMoz ip addresses).  Is there a way to eliminate local results?

I don't have control over how the SEOmoz tool interacts with Google

Hey nixforsix,

I'm really sorry you're seeing those local results in the Keyword Difficulty tool. There's not a way to prevent that from happening at the moment, but I'll pass the issue on to our team and we'll try to come up with a fix as soon as we can. Thanks for letting us know! Feel free to shoot over other tech support questions to help@seomoz.org. Cheers,

Aaron
