Use of Moz with non-latin characters
-
Hey there,
I am new member with Moz and i have to say that you are doing very good job.
Three days ago, i have learnt that the On-page Grader and On-Page Optimization tools are useless for me because i am using no-latin keywords (greek characters) in order to optimize my SEO. From that moment i dont know how to properly use moz pro in order to optimize my SEO score (if this still can be done) so i would like to ask:
Without these two powerfull tools how can i use the Moz Pro in order to optimize my (greek) website?
Is this possible to do it with out these two tools?
should i try to do it manually? if yes what i have to read/learn in order to do it manually?
What other tools can i use in order to help me rank my website instead of On-Page grader and optimization?
Thanks in advance

Hi there!
You're definitely right that those tools have trouble with non-Latin characters.

There are still other tools in Moz Pro, though, that you should be able to get some value from Crawl Diagnostics should be pretty useful, in particular. I'd recommend this Help Hub article—actually, you'll likely find the Help Hub useful, in general—and this video to get you started.

It's definitely possible to take care of everything in On-Page Optimization/Grader manually. You should get a solid handle on on-page targeting by reading through the Beginner's Guide to SEO. After that, How to Rank will give you a really solid picture of a successful organic campaign. Keep in mind that keyword targeting—which is what those tools help with—is only a small portion of the factors that will help you rank.
I admit that I'm not really aware of other tools that do the same thing with non-English characters, though. Hopefully someone will know of a few!

Thanks for your answer.
I will try to take care of it manually. I guess it is doable.

Hi
Are you planning to fix it or is there no planned date for getting this to work?
Thanks

There's nothing planned at the moment, but it's definitely something we're aware of.
