      When I look at the campaign for my website in MOZ it shows me my 'organic search visits' are radically different than when I look at Google analytics.

      In Moz I have 10 visits the week of 10/24 but using 'visits' in Google analytics I have 320 visits the same week.

      In Moz I have 20 visits the week of 11/1 (following the gold total line) but according to Google I have almost 500 visits that week.

      I just totally redid my site (www.sawwebmarketing.com) and posted a bunch of new content and looking to see what it did to my traffic and according to Google my visits have fallen dramatically but according to Moz my 'organic search visits' have multiplied by 6.

      Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks,

      Matthew

        Hi Matthew

        It's hard to tell without seeing the reports but are you looking at all visits in Google rather than organic search visits in the acquisition reports? I thought MOZ gets visits from GA so unless you have linked to a different GA account to the one you are looking at or picked a different time period I can't see how they would be different.

          Hello Matthew, this absolutely sounds like a bug. Can you send this to help@moz.com so we can collaborate with our engineers and get this fixed for you? Sorry for the difference in data, this looks too far off to be normal.
