Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi - Thanks for posting.

Domain Authority is a proprietary Moz metric and should be consistent across all Moz offerings. In terms of improving your Domain Authority, with the information above in mind, it's best to look at both your on-page SEO to make sure you've covered the basics.

Then you also want to look at your off-site SEO and building more links to your site.
There are lots of different areas of Link Building to explore, from patching up broken links, improving your internal link profile, and content creation.

Here is a great video by our founder Rand which goes over some easy link building tactics to get you started.

Domain Authority is made up of an aggregate of metrics (including general link profile, quality and quantity of links, and more) that each has an impact on this score. It can be difficult to directly influence your DA, but one way to move toward increasing it would be to improve your overall SEO.

A great place to start with that could be to focus on link building. You can learn more about link building here and get a more detailed explanation of Domain Authority through this resource.

In general, I'd recommend keeping in mind that all of these metrics are relative with respect to the other sites included in our index. The metrics will probably have some additional context when compared to sites similar to your own, including your competitors.

Hi Maria!

Most likely this has to do with the date range and cadence you have selected. If it's restricted to one data point, it won't show in increase/decrease.

if you can send in your specific example including screenshots to help@moz.com we can take a look.

Our crawler was built before hreflang was in practice and unfortunately hasn't been adjusted for these new practices developed. Unfortunately, this means we aren't currently able to recognize that directive. I'm happy to submit this feature request on your behalf to our product team for possible future improvements in Site Crawl.

In the meantime, you can "ignore" the issue within Site Crawl so we stop reporting on it. You can learn more about that here: https://moz.com/help/moz-pro/site-crawl/ignoring-issues

I hope this helps to clarify!

Hi - Thanks for posting!

Domain Authority scores are representative of the entire root domain. Sub-domains do not have a separate Domain Authority from their root domain.

Link Explorer will always show the same Domain Authority score for any URL searched on a root domain, regardless if searching by domain, subdomain, or exact page in the tools.

You can read more on Domain Authority here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

We hope that helps to clarify!

Hi - Thanks for posting!

Moz doesn't currently offer a way to automate pulling Site Crawl data into Google Data Studio. Terribly sorry for that inconvenience. I can certainly pass this inquiry along to our product team, however.

Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. It is made up of an aggregate of metrics (including general link profile, quality and quantity of links, and more) that each has an impact on this score. It can be difficult to directly influence your DA, but one way to move toward increasing it would be to improve your overall SEO.

A great place to start with that could be to focus on link building! You can learn more about link building here and get a more detailed explanation of Domain Authority through this resource.

The metrics will probably have some additional context when compared to sites similar to your own, including your competitors. Feel free to give those resources a once over to see if they help clarify some of your questions!

Hi - Thanks for reaching out.

This is a similar situation to these other two posts

https://moz.com/community/q/ranking-keywords-are-not-showing-on-moz

https://moz.com/community/q/how-to-track-keyowrds-data-when-they-are-not-showing

The ranking keywords section of Keyword Explorer is powered by a different corpus than other parts of the tool. Although this keyword corpus is large, it doesn't include all keywords so there may be keywords you're checking elsewhere in our tool suite (like Rank Checker) that have not been added to our ranking keywords corpus just yet.

If you'd like to track those additional keywords that aren't in the corpus just yet, I would suggest adding them to a Campaign. That way you can continue to track your rankings for them over time.

Hey - Thanks for posting.

There are many factors that can hinder Moz from crawling/indexing links which you can review here: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/moz-isnt-finding-your-links

If you can reach out to support at help@moz.com with specific examples, we can take a look.

thanks!

Hi - Thanks for posting.

If you are referring to Site Crawl in a campaign, I'm afraid this cannot be changed. Campaigns update on the day you create the campaign. The only real workaround is if you want your campaign to update on Wednesday, you can recreate the campaign on a Wednesday. We do have a feature request ticket into our product team to possibly implement something like this in the future, but we cannot guarantee a timeframe for that right now.

We hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions we can assist with.

Hi Kris - I would suggest reaching out to support with your specific location so we can take a look!

Best regards,

Hi Brad!

Moz doesn't actually crawl Sitemaps but we do follow robots.txt directives. I think what is happening is we are possibly reading relative links in your source code and appending that link to the one the crawler is currently on.

If you can reach out to support at help@moz.com, we can take a look at your campaign and provide some additional insight here!

Best regard,

Hi there, thanks for reaching out & apologies for any confusion!

If you are seeing "Bummer! No Data" being reported within the Free Domain Analysis tool, this is due to insufficient data being available for your site. In order for our tool to create an analysis of your Domain, you will need to have both Linking data and Ranking data available for the site entered.

You can view links for your site via Link Explorer: https://moz.com/link-explorer

You can view keywords for your site via Keyword Explorer: https://analytics.moz.com/pro/keyword-explorer

If either of the above return 0 links/keywords, no data will be available within the Domain Analysis tool. I hope this helps - please let us know if you need anything else!

Hi - Thanks for posting!

Moz's Spam Score is the percentage of sites with similar features we've found to be penalized or banned by Google (it's not based on the spam score of the sites linking to you). To improve this score I would recommend reading our guide which explains the 27 factors used to make up this score.

You can then look at your site and investigate areas you would like to improve on your site: https://moz.com/help/link-explorer/link-building/spam-score

Best of luck, and let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hey - Thanks for posting.

One thing to note here is that Moz doesn't read sitemaps. We do check robots.txt files for directives, but then crawl starting at the campaign seed URL, and work our way down in depth.

If your site is still not being crawled, I would suggest reaching out to help@moz.com with the campaign in question so we can take a look.

thanks!

Hi Peter,

One additional point about adding keywords is if you add keywords during campaign creation, we will do a rush collection and return those ranking results within the hour.

If you add keywords after the campaign is created, the data for those keywords will not be collected until the next campaign update.

We hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions we can assist with.

Hi - thanks for reaching out.

One thing to keep in mind is the data we collect in our index will vary from what they collect in there's. If you are seeing data in Link Explorer but not in their tools, most likely this is because we have data around your site, and they do not.

We hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions we can assist with.

Thanks for reaching out to us!  Sorry for the trouble here!

This is, unfortunately, a known issue - MozBar does not detect schema properly for some sites. Our engineers are aware of the issue and are looking into solutions at this time! I will let them know you're encountering issues as well and follow up when we have a fix available. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Joe,

You can select the date range in Campaign - Rankings located in the upper right-hand corner. Once you have your desired date range, just export the CSV and it will include all ranking collection dates in the specified range.

Hope that helps!
