Why is my MOZ ranking better but my ranking worse

[lfrazer]

last week, I made all the recommended changes for my client's website, and our grade according to MOZ got better, but our rankings dropped?

Hey Denise, no doubt we all would like to see a week turnaround on our rankings updates in Google.  Typically, though, we have to wait anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to start seeing the changes.  Hang in there and keep working--you're sure to see them eventually.

Improving your MozRank is not a guarantee of improved rankings in the SERPs. While the MozRank is fairly indicative of PageRank, it is by no means the same, and something that affects MozRank may affect your Google rank differently. Also, changes to your site may not be initially recognized by Google as Chris said, whereas Moz can detect those changes immediately. Finally, if you make too significant of changes to your webpages, Google may recognize that as a sign that the site has changed (as opposed to slight content modification), and your rankings will be more easily affected.
