No data for most of my keywords

[Barn2Plugins]

Hi, I'm using Keyword Explorer to prioritise keywords. This is really hard as most of my keywords say 'no data' when I import them. How can I get this data please so that the Potential column is more accurate? Thanks

Here's Moz's explanation of 'No data': "No data means we have not yet collected volume for the keyword" and the expanded answer from their FAQs (https://moz.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer

What does it mean when a keyword has “No Data” for its volume?

“No data” indicates that we’ve not yet collected search volume information on this keyword. It may have very high or very low volume (more likely the latter than the former, but with many exceptions, especially recently trending keywords or very obscure ones). Over time, we attempt to gather volume data for keywords on which we’ve reported “No Data” so you may see us update these as we gather it (approximately monthly).

As a rule, I usually assume low volume - the fact that these keywords are often "longer-tail" ('large black leather handbags uk', for example) will often confirm that.

There are other keyword research tools you can use to cross-reference, such as SEMRush and http://keywordtool.io but, like most of the best tools, these are paid-for solutions.

And, of course, there's Google's own keyword planner: https://adwords.google.com/ko/KeywordPlanner/ This is free, but requires you sign up for a free Google Adwords account (you don't need to create an Adwords campaign).

Don't forget that if you're not sure, you can always contact Moz for help: https://moz.com/help/contact

I hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply. None of the tools I wanted to seem to work! I'm doing the 2 week free trial and you can't crawl my site to give me useful on-page advice as I use CloudFlare, and now I can't get search volumes which is crucial to my keyword research! I have spent a long time trying to set up Moz and learn my way around it, but it just doesn't seem to be at all useful which is surprising.

I need to input all my keywords into Keyword Explorer and make decisions on what to prioritise based on the combination of rankings, opportunity etc. How can I do this please?

Many thanks

Could you PM me a link to your site so I can try a few things, please?

Hi,

PM sent. If you contact Moz, you can schedule a free walkthrough of the Moz tools, having given them an outline of what your are looking for from the site. This would be a good opportunity to go over issues like this. They have a UK based representative, Steve Dunn, who is really helpful.

I'd recommend contacting Moz via the blue chat icon for details.

Thanks for your reply. I had a full walkthrough on Thursday but now I'm trying to implement what we talked about, the data I need isn't available. Am I allowed a second walkthrough or is this just a technical issue to report?

Thanks

[Hurf]

Yes, of course. You can book a second, twenty minute session (though I'm sure you can have longer if needed) using the book a session email link you received previously. I've used this twice, before and Steve was really keen to help.

Thanks a lot, I have booked another 20 minute session.

Hello,

Can we request that keywords with "no data" are added by Moz in future so that we can see those figures. I can go to Google Keyword Planner but it's much less convenient to use 2x sources for this.

Thanks,
