Mobile Meta Descriptions?
Sitemap is little bit tricky. There isn't free tool that make sitemaps with desktop/mobile annotations. That's why you need to talk with CMS authors and they to make plugin for it. Or outsource to 3rd party. Same is with desktop/mobile linking. It's much better if they make this change.

Using Hreflang Tags For Australian Domain Extension
You could launch it on the .com.au extension - but I fear that the geotargeting resulting from the ccTLD is a much stronger signal for Google than the ahfref tag. Not sure if this link is still valid but it states: Q: Does “rel alternate hreflang” replace geotargeting? A: No. This link-element provides a connection between individual URLs, and only allows Google to “swap out” the URLs from your site currently shown in the search results with ones that are more relevant to the user. It does not affect ranking, as geotargeting would. Check this video from Matt Cutts (2013) on how Google deals with ccTLD's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJqZIH_0Ars If your dot.com domain is not available - try if some of these generic tld's is available for your domain - and redirect to the .com as soon as you can. It's not optimal - but I honestly think that the .com.au/us/ solution is not going to work. Dirk

Any tools to scan URL to identify keyword opportunities
Hey Jay! My name is David Black and I'm the Director of Customer Success here at SEMrush. I see you mentioned our service so I wanted to throw this out there... have you tried the new SEO Ideas tool within our Projects Suite? I would really encourage you to try it if you haven't already. Essentially, we're doing exactly as you described. Based off of the SERPs collected within your Position Tracking campaign, we scan the content of the pages that rank within the top 10 for your target keywords and pull together a list of related keyword suggestions found on these pages and analyze how frequently they use them. This is going to help enrich your own content or find new opportunities. It also pulls together ideas for backlinks and onsite optimization. The best part is that it does it on the fly as opposed to our regular keyword analytics reports. It's pretty awesome. You can check out an article from our User Manual that should help you get started - http://www.semrush.com/manual/what-is-seo-ideas/ I hope this helps!

Any keyword tools to do this?
So sorry for the lack of response, Jay. I think it's fair to say that no one is aware of a tool that meets those needs.

Targeting different countries with domain name
@Seoman10 - don't really agree with your answer: 1. Targeting the us market with a .com.au extension doesn't make sense (source https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/62399) "If your site has a generic top-level domain, such as .com or .org, you can help us determine which countries are most important to you. If your site has a country-coded top-level domain (such as .ie or .fr) it is already associated with a geographic region (in this example, Ireland or France). If you use a country-coded domain, you won't be able to specify a geographic location. " 2. Duplicate content on different TLD's if they target different countries / languages can be handled using hreflang tags (check https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077) in combination with geotargeting (check https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en#2) Dirk

Hhreflang been setup correctly?
Hi Chris, You have 2 issues here: 1. It doesn't make sense to put the us version on http://www.camilla.com.au/us/ - .com.au is an Australian domain extension and therefore geo targeted by default to Australia. If you want to have a us version you'll have to put it on a generic domain extension (.com / .net / .org / etc geo targeted in search console to the us) or use the .us extension 2. Hreflang is on page level - not on domain level - on all pages of your site you put the hreflang pointing to the "us homepage". What you should do is for each page on your site (both us & au version) you will have to put at least two hreflang tags: Example http://www.camilla.com.au/collection/my-wandering-heart-resort-15 & http://www.camilla.com.au/us/collection/my-wandering-heart-resort-15 On both pages put: <link rel="alternate" href="http: www.camilla.com.au="" collection="" my-wandering-heart-resort-15" hreflang="en-au"></link rel="alternate" href="http:> If you want to have one version as default - then also add (if it's the us version you want as default - check http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.be/2013/04/x-default-hreflang-for-international-pages.html) The message "reciprocal not found" indicates that you only put the hreflang to the us version - and that on the us version there is no hreflang link to the au version. You can scan all the content on Moz on hreflang - but useful links are: https://moz.com/blog/hreflang-behaviour-insights http://www.aleydasolis.com/en/international-seo-tools/hreflang-tags-generator/ https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en Dirk

Measure impact from new meta descriptions
Hey Chris, I recently did the same thing, I looked at traffic from organic to the specific pages I changed the meta descriptions for. I did 20 for my top sellers and 20 for my slow sellers and watched for incremental increases YoY and WoW through GA. I did see increases although small, will impact my overall traffic in bulk - I have educated the rest of the business and now we write better meta descriptions. Although your method seems sound and as Matt said ultimately you want to make sure you are converting those people too. All the best, K

On-page Grader API?
I'm also interested in this. I might build my own (for our clients) in case there is not API available for Moz On-Page Grader or similar tool. Are there any open source tools that do On-Page grading? In any case, it would be nice to have peek under the hood at Moz On-Page grader.

TD*IDF analysis Tools
Hi Chris, I don't know of any free tools that do this unless you want to write some code yourself. If you go that route we have some open source libraries that you might find useful, especially qdr that implements the TF-IDF scoring and dragnet for parsing/cleaning the HTML. Good luck in your search!

Migration Strategy
This temporary set-up idea makes little sense to me... migrations are tough enough anyway, and the temporary middle stage is increasing both risk and complexity.

Hi Matt! No i have not yet found a tool which can do this. The _ScrapeBox Anchor Text plugin _CleverPhD mentioned can only do this for one domain at a time. I need it for multiple domains. Any other suggestions?
