Keyword Explorer is Now Live; Ask Me Anything About It!

[ATP]

Rand,

I am a UK user.

I just went onto the keyword difficulty page and it said it is being removed from June 2nd to be replaced by the keyword explorer tool. Whilst I welcome this change as I love the keyword explorer, as a UK user i rely on the keyword difficulty tool for volume metrics as they keyword explorer doesn't yet show these for the UK.

Why the haste to remove this tool? Its a vital part of the puzzle for me until the explorer is fully operational. Could it not stick around until the explorer is fully functional?

Thanks

Hi ATP - we're working on getting the UK volume data (along with other countries) into KW Explorer, hopefully before we shut off KW Difficulty. I believe we may be extending that June 2nd deadline.

In the meantime, I'd recommend using AdWords' KW Tool and selecting "United Kingdom" in their country dropdown. KW Difficulty's data comes from there as well (via GrepWords).

Back to the old fashioned way it is then

Thanks for the reply

Hi

I just signed up for my 30 day trial, but the Keyword Explorer tool is not working.  I keep getting this message "Creating keyword list failed."  Am I able to use this tool during the trial period?

Thanks,

Augustus

Hi Augustus - I think there might have been a problem with your free trial signup. It looks like your account (at least the one associated with this profile) isn't in a free trial state according to the subscription data I see. If you email help@moz.com, they should be able to assist.

Hi!

Why I found very different results for the same key using Moz Keyword Explorer and Google Keyword planner... why?

For example the italian key:

"Cameretta bambina"

I'm interested in Italy country.

thank you,

Marina

Hi Marina - Moz and Google have different data -- we don't use exactly the same data sources as Google, so you should expect to see some differences in suggested keywords and in volume (Google makes an estimate, while we use a ranged bucket).

Hi Rand,

I want to report a bug with the Keyword Explorer regarding Search Locale.
My campaign search settings are set to:

Google - United States en-US (Default)
Google - United Kingdom en-UK

After entering a keyword search in Keyword Explorer I see the Overview with en-US metrics. When I click SERP Analysis with right-click "open a new tab" it incorrectly opens the SERP Analysis with the en-UK metric. I was confused to see why the metrics are different but finally figured out the bug. When I click SERP Analysis with left-click it opens the correct en-US page in the same window. While doing keyword research, I think it's quite natural to open multiple keywords on new tabs to research them one-by-one or to compare their data between the open tabs.

I'm using the latest Google Chrome Version 59.0.3071.86 on macOS Sierra 10.12.5.

Also, one other feature request would be to allow "open new tab in window" for the right-hand side magnifying icon in Keyword Lists.

Thanks,

Chris

PS: The line spacing in the WYSIWYG on the community forums is a bit weird.

Hi Chris - yes! We know about this bug with the different tabs/windows and have a ticket in to the dev team to address. Thanks for the heads up.
