How to fix Moz assigning the wrong keyword to a page

[jessential]

Somehow the Moz tool has assigned the main keyword here this to my Google Structured Data Update page. Most likely, I missed something which caused the error.

"Keyword np - /google-structured-data-update/"

This is for my page titled "Announcement of Google algorithm updates Impact SEO techniques"The canonical tag links to https://www.hillwebcreations.com/google-algorithum-updates-impact-seo-tactics/ as it should, so I am wondering how to update the keyword Moz associates this page with.Any leads to solving this would be appreciated.

Hi there Jeannie,

Thanks so much for reaching out to us - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!

So, the thing about the way we gather our rankings data is that we don't exactly 'assign' a keyword to a URL in the way you've mentioned. There is no way to change this keyword manually.

When we collect rankings data, we pull this directly from the SERPS, and display the precise rank, and specific URL, for any keywords ranking in the top 50 SERP results. If that keyword is appearing associated with that URL in your campaign, it means that this is how it's displaying within the SERP results - that URL is the one that "np - /google-structured-data-update/" is ranking for.

It's possible that Google hasn't registered the canonical tag for some reason - though, we Helpsters are not SEO consultants and are only here for Moz tool support, so there may be someone in the community here who can weigh on on what might be happening, or you could reach out to your own SEO consultant about this.

I hope the clarity I've provided regarding the tools helps!

Hi Samantha,

Thank you for taking time to answer. As SEMrush, Ahrefs and other keyword tools are all associating the right keyword to the intended page, as well as per my Google reports, it remains baffling.

I have a page with the exact URL of "google-structured-data-update", so it would be great if Moz could associate my Google Algorithm Updates page with the correct keyword association. Maybe 6 months ago we had the wrong canonical tag - just maybe. If so, is there a way to "reset" Moz's data?

Hopefully, you are right and someone in the Moz community can weigh in on what is happening.

Thank you.
