Keyword Explorer - root domain (NEW): Domains outside US & Canada - no or no meaningful results

[Cesare.Marchetti]

Basically I really like and would love to use the new root domain feature in the Keyword Explorer in my daily work. I usually deal with small to medium sized sites in Switzerland.

Looking these up unfortunately it either gives me back nonsense (i.e. keywords that merely have nothing to do with the site; sites are very well keyword optimized) or no data ("There are no results for your search") at all.

Is this going to change in the future (...honestly) or its simply due to the fact that MOZ focuses primarily on US & Canada and maybe huge sites in Europe?

Thanks for your input.

Cheers,

Cesare

Hey Cesare, Dave here from the Help Team.

We are working on increasing better functionality around international URLs/Keywords for Keyword By Site, but as for right now its mainly U.S. focused.  Sorry for that inconvenience that causes!

Hi Dave,

We have similar issues with the new searching for keywords by root domain functionality in keyword explorer. We are based in Australia and need rankings for google.com.au, which is what we have set up within our campaign ranking reports.

The explorer tool rankings are way off and not accurate for our site's actual rankings. Also, many of the top, high volume keywords that we are tracking and for which we rank on first page for are not even appearing when I do an explorer search using our root domain.

Is the root domain functionality within keyword explorer providing results based on google.com rather than google.com.au? Does this mean that if we are outside the US that we can't use the tool as it is not accurate?

Cheers,

Damien
