      I used the page key word grader and got an "F" Moz said that my keyword employee handbook was not in my title nor was it found in the body of my page.  But when I look at the page and double check everything it is there all over the place.

      I am not blaming moz this is a wiz site and while I am a beginner and very well could be wrong could anyone just take a look and tell me if I am nuts or what. The web page is http://www.cestoday.com/#!employee-handbook/co0h  I now have the font so big I will have to fix that.

      Thank you

        Hi

        I got good news and I got bad news for you:

        Good news: your not nuts. The text is visually there.
        Bad news: the text is actually not in the original source code since its loaded with AJAX.

        An easy way to check this is to do a view source on the page. Dependent on browser the function is in different places but in Google Chrome its under View -> Developer -> View source. When your seeing the source code try to do a search and you see that the word "handbook" is not there.

        So what does this mean: 1. It means that the moz tool can not handle this AJAX way of making the page. 2. It could also mean that Google can not index the site.

        Good look forward

        Fredrik

          1. You're right - MOZ tools cannot handle your pages correctly, most probably because of AJAX.

          2. Google can see your page and does see it (to some extent) - go check https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Your+Employee+Handbook+Is+Your+First+Defense%22 to make sure it can see your headings and somr text including the keywords you specified. On the other hand, go check Google's cache to see it can see only a part of the content you've got on that page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.cestoday.com/%23!employee-handook/co0h, which most probably means you'll have to move from WIX (which you're using right now if I'm not mistaken) to some other website engine as this one is definitely not the best one for SEO.

            Hi there!

            Thanks for reaching out! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. Thanks for jumping in Fredrik and LinkAssistant! Fredrik is correct, our tool has a hard time getting through any AJAX, which is why we're not picking up your keyword.

            If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot us an email at help@moz.com!

            Cheers,

            Erin

              Erin is there an ETA on when the Moz crawler might be able to handle ajax sites as Google does (https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/specification)?

                  If you're using Wix.com, and they use AJAX... here's what you can do to verify google is scraping your site properly.

                  1. go to google.com and simply type "site:yourURL.com"... no spaces between the colon and your site name.  This will return Google's index of your site, and then you can look at the cached pages to ensure they're seeing what they should.
                  2. Wix posted about this, and they provide both the needed AJAX (end user) option and the HTML (google crawler option) properly..  here's their blog from 2015 addressing this (see #4) https://www.wix.com/blog/2015/04/myth-busting-10-interesting-facts-about-wix-seo/
                  3. if you're using Wix.com... or other website builder tools... make sure to submit your sitemap to the Google Search Console, this should also help.
