The company page would be suited to the rel=publisher tag
The better way to explain the author tag is like a book.
On the back of the book you don't have info on the publisher but the author the same is true here, the tag is to say who wrote the content not who published it thus the two tags.
So you want to use the author tag on the personal profile or who ever wrote it.
in short: use your personal profile.
Hi,
You can export PDFs via the custom reports tab or most pages you should see a "download PDF" button.
I can imagine you more want a CSV, where applicable you will see a download CSV option, this is more for ranking reports etc. as seen here - http://i.imgur.com/GQd6rtq.jpg
Hope that helps.
Yes, you can generate reports and share those with other team members if you do not want to give them full access but its one login i'm afraid.
Hi Ash,
I did write a lovely long response unfortunately Moz decided that it was going to remove it so here goes attempt two!
Let me start by a comparison to Facebook. On Facebook you have your personal page which you interact with etc. and you have a business page which people "like" etc. and find info. The same is essentially true for Google+
G+ you have your personal account which can be set up to contribute to websites ( rel=author ) telling people you've done stuff on that site. You have your business page (rel=publisher) which people +1 and talk about the business. The publisher page also can interact a bit more with the SERP. Unfortunately publisher is not as easy as author but they do act differently.
Now you don't really want to have a business set as a "personal" page as it doesn't have some of the features and also doesn't look as professional.
In short:
Use your personal account for rel=author on your site telling Google what you've made on the site (E.g a Blog)
Use a business account for people to +1 and recommend your site as well as interact with your customers
I hope that helps anything else you need to know I'll do my best to help.
More info :
The links might of been for a link exchange (you link to us and we link to you type of thing) wouldn't be the first time I've seen it so don't assume its an evil plot to take over the world just yet! You can use a handy little tool called screaming frog to detect out going links on your site.
If you monitor your site via OSE (or any similar alternatives) you can also keep track of any impact that you may fear be it negative or other wise. You mention recovery but are you sure you need to recover? Could just be you need to do some SEO and build some links its not really a recovery thing more of a just do it right thing. I'm confidant that you would know right/wrong (white/black hat) way to approach it.
Have you tried just straight up asking them what the page is for? They might explain it, deny it etc. but at least you will be better off than wondering why or what.
Best of luck and let us know what they say the page is for.
Not a total solution but there is a skip button, did you try that? You can also email help@moz.com I would mention what browser and OS you're using to help them work out any issues. The skip should help as a temp solution you can add keywords to track once the campaign has been created.
Sorry to say i cannot recreate the issue on hurl.it and some of the other ways I've looked it all looks like it is working. I'd recommend trying some other tools, as long as it is all working and displaying in Search engine console that is the only place to really worry about as it is the one that counts!
Hiya,
If a page doesn't have a canonical tag and it need's one it would be a duplicate page, Moz currently does point that out for you. The on page grader can help you with many of the alt tag problems too.
You can manually do it but its long and pointless as it's not really very usable as you're only getting names.
Hi, there are no real short cuts other than a bit of hard work for checking you can use sites like https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/neighbourhood-checker as a quick guide. A paid option is link Detox but because its algorithm based it still required you to sort though it or you might miss a perfect site that was accidentally picked up for being "bad". Generally I try to avoid software like link detox because normally people use it to bulk check and it can do more harm than good.
You might find this Q&A very helpful - http://moz.com/community/q/find-and-monitor-possible-bad-links
Couldn't you just set it up on a new account ? You can then provide them with the current stats (report) from the account you own ?
Hello,
There is no simple solution for ranking and there are agencies galor to do the service of ranking your site. There is a list of recommendations from Moz in the footer but if you want to have a crack your self - bravo!
There are many resources on Moz and I would start with the likes of https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
there are loads of other guides here though - https://moz.com/learn/seo and the blog has great items to look through.
To get things like your DA, PA etc. you can look over the link explorer found here -https://analytics.moz.com/pro/link-explorer/home
unfortunately, you'll have to do a lot of the work your selves as learning the wizardry of SEO isn't black and white and can take some time which is why there are so many specialists around but Moz has some great resources for learning.
Hope that helps.
TL;DR
DA & PA lookup tool -https://analytics.moz.com/pro/link-explorer/home
How do I rank? start here - https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
I want someone to do it for me - look at an agency, Moz recommendations in footer.
Hi Vijay,
First off have you given Roger (Moz robot) enough time to recrawl the site and discover that you have fixed the errors? You can see the last crawl date at the top of the reports normally.
Google has some tips on fixing 404's - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2409439?hl=en
You can also double check live 404's here - http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/
I also bet if you take a search through the Moz community you can find some other peoples fixes for 404's
Hope that helps.
You may find the following helpful -

"Google Accounts can only be recovered within a short period of time after deletion. If you received an error message stating that "This account was deleted and is no longer recoverable," the account has been deleted for too long and cannot be restored by our support team.
Some common reasons people see this message include:
If you accidentally deleted your Google Account, you can attempt to restore it by going to our password-assistance page within a limited window of time after deletion. If you’d like to create a new Google Account, visit our sign-up page. Note that you will be unable to reuse your old Gmail username, as Gmail usernames cannot be recreated after they've been deleted."
The quickest and easy thing I would recommend is something like screaming frog it will tell you most of your internal links etc and its free up to 500 URLs, you can also use some of the Moz tools to help you find any links going to broken pages after too.
Good luck with the move!
I would presume the help@moz would be the email they are referring to along with their names @ moz.
"We do one-to-one support via email, our contact form on the Help Hub, and via live chat for sales and billing questions"
I guess its ticket related ?
Hiya,
A lot of people use Wordpress but my advice is to stay with the system you know if you know the ins and outs of. if your content is good it wont matter where you are people come for the content.
Hope this helps, good luck!
Hi William,
I know that Moz struggles with none Latin characters etc. which would be why its struggling. I believe the Moz team are aware of it but I do not know of any fixes yet sorry. You might find some 3rd party apps can help (though I do not know if they work with Chinese as its not a language I use for SEO)
You cant try Screaming frog for some basic things but you might have to wait for a fix from Moz
If you find anything let us know and I'm sure some one else might find it helpful too!
Sorry I couldn't help you more this time, Good luck!
I assume you want the author image in SERPS I've yet to see an author without an image. There is an element of trust if you do have a author image and there isn't much of an excuse as it takes seconds to put one up.
If in doubt you can test here - http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
Worst case here is your name will still appear next to the search result, so it's not technically essential but Google can't display an image that's not there.
