Why the discrepancy in organic traffic - monthly report vs analytics

[EEE3]

I've been going through my monthly reports, and noticed something odd in the SEO Moz report section showing the visits from organic (non-paid) search engine results.

When checking this data against the same data in Google Analytics, everything for the most part seems to line up with the exception of two dates:

Jan 09 and Jan 23 of the SEO Moz report show 0 visits, but Analytics shows I do have visits on those days.

Any ideas why this would be in the report or what I'm missing?

Hey there,

Sorry for the confusion with the traffic metrics!

What is usually going on there is for some reason we have a hiccup in the communication between GA and us. All that information is pulled directly from Google including the historic data. You should be able to disconnect and reconnect your GA from your campaign and that will refresh all the data and should include those dates.

It will take a short bit for the dates on your overview to populate but the information should be fine.

I hope that answers your question.
Cheers,
Joel.

Thanks Joel. And just to confirm, it will pull in historical data too even if I disconnect it and reconnect it?

Barring any unforeseen circumstance with Google Analytics, it should all repopulate just fine.

I've yet to see one have a problem. Worst case scenario, you let me know and I get it fixed.

Cheers,
Joel.
