      I am working to improve SEO of a specific program offered by our school. The program's pages are located in a subfolder like school.edu/program. This program is different from other programs offered by the school, both in terms of content, audience, etc.

      Right now, I tried to add the subfolder, but I feel that Moz is giving me results on the whole website. Also, I tried to add some competing programs from other schools (by adding their pages' URL) but again Moz seems to give me comparison results of the whole websites.

        I'd really like to see keyword tracking available for subfolders.  How many of our efforts are based around product lines, articles in a topic niche, articles of a single author.

        A couple of decades ago, I burned out multiple computers running a log analysis  program named ClickTracks because it tracked the performance of my folders, but the program was costly and became unsupported and when your last computer died that could run it, your ability to use it was gone for good.

          Heya!
          You can create a campaign solely for a subfolder (or even a subdomain) by selecting the +Advanced setting in the campaign set-up; just click the check box there and it will limit our campaign audit to the pages on that specific subfolder (or subdomain).

          From there, you can see in your Campaign Settings where if you've set it up for just that chunk of your site, or for the entire root domain. Our ability to report link metrics by subfolder is admittedly a bit limited, but keyword rankings and crawl will be fully representative of the section of your site you've specified. 🙂

          I've created a short video here that will show you the steps in doing this in your own campaign. Give me a shout if you need any other details!

            I'm trying to run a site with a sub-folder in the URL e.g. /UK/ but I too think the Keyword Explorer tool only returns results for the whole domain. Does anyone have any idea if this is truly the case as the whole UK website is on the sub-folder and I need to run it through the tool to find out how many keywords the site is ranking for?
