Getting started with moz

[mari-rose]

Hi

i use to be a user of SEO moz before the change to just Moz, however i am struggling to navigate around and work on campaigns.

I need to know what steps to take methodically from setting up a campaign, keyword research, competitors and monitoring SERPs results.  in addition  improving the page grade reports and analysing keyword difficulty.

Whilst Moz assist you to set up some of this initially when creating the campaign i feel it doesn't seem to take you through a logical methodical step process of configuring in depth the steps of ensuring the correct settings are relevant to the campaign i.e.  an outline of the steps and i need to take that follow on from each other and getting your campaign completed.

for example:

1. create campaign
2. keyword research
3. onpage optimisation
4. competitor research
5. link finder analyser
6. run reports that related to the info provided above

I feel lost in the features of moz whilst i can see they are highly beneficial putting them to use in a chronological order to ensure the the correct setup and make use of these tools. i.e. where to start and where to end currently i feel i can only find where to start and what i should do after that to make use of Moz fully is somewhat missing.

Thanks in advance, any links and direct appreciated, i would alsolike to possible speak to a Moz team member regarding my account setup if possible.

Hi Darren,

And welcome back to the community!

You can start at the help hub, they have quite some information for you: http://moz.com/help

I am quite sure you will find most of your answers there. And when you do struggle, do not hesitate to ask

Hi Darren!

We do have walkthroughs that can help guide you through your setup at the link Keszi provided. We also have a live welcome webinar hosted by our Success Team each week. You can register here: http://moz.com/help/guides/getting-started/welcome-webinar

As far as correct settings go, we can only verify your campaign URL is setup the way you want it to, the other settings will be up to you to confirm.

For example if you want to track all pages within a domain, then setup a root domain URL as domain.com, this will track all pages and sub-folders for the entire site.

If you only want to track the root domain, or only a sub-domain or sub-folder. Then you would check the box in the advanced settings to "exclude all sub-domains" and you would put www.domain.com or www.domain.com/folder/

This means we would only look for rankings for that specific URL.

For competitors, we can only track the specific URL set. If they appear on Google as www.domain.com, then make sure to add them with the sub-domain.

I highly recommend signing up for the webinar as it is the only way we can provide live walkthroughs of our tools. Hopefully the other resources can help as well!
