Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Scott,

I wanted to let you and the rest of the people on this thread know that we now can track local rankings! Check out our post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics.

We're proud to announce we now have local ranking tracking! Check out our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics.

Jumping into an older thread here to let you know we now track local results! Please check out our blog post at http://moz.com/blog/local-rankings-in-moz-analytics

It should. I'm having someone from the help desk come in and confirm that. You can also go to research tools and run a crawl test (from crawl diagnostic).

If we weren't able to look at your content (because your site was down) that would be the reason for everything being an F.

Right now, we still just have the three competitors, though we are looking at the possibility of adding more in the future.

You guys had a lot of Roger love for our Draw Roger contest a while back at http://www.pinterest.com/mozhq/draw-roger-contest-entries/, so I think that's when we got some swag from you too.

I don't watch cable, so thanks for pointing out the video. Great fun!

Hi Gebby,

My husband is still keeping nice and warm in his Kars4Kids sweatshirt you guys sent over a couple of years ago! This is an old thread, and it's probably best to start a new thread for more visibility. Really do appreciate you searching through the archives first though!

MP3 downloads aren't competitive? I would have thought they were quite competitive and there being fairly cutthroat competition.

Everything should be working now. If you're still having any problems, please contact help@moz.com. Thanks!

Hi! We've sounded the alarm bells at Moz HQ about this, and are waking up the engineers. We'll get you updated as soon as we have more information.

No problem! Also, one other factor is that even if you did know that they didn't pay FB to boost, you don't know if there was a third-party service they used to get likes.

Unless it happened to show up in your feed (in which case you can see a note that it was sponsored), to my knowledge, there's no way of knowing it was paid. I asked Marty from Aim Clear and a couple of other people about this last spring, and they weren't aware of a way either. If one post has 3000 FB likes, and all the other posts by the page have about 10 likes, you can guess that they did something, however.

Hi! It's best to send a note to us at help@moz.com so we can look into it. Thanks!

Currently, Moz Local is only available for US locations.

Hi! If this happens again, please take a screenshot, and send a note to help@moz.com. Include in text in the email the incident number (it'll be 10-20 digits) too. From there, we'll be able to look up what is happening. Thanks!

Tread carefully on LinkedIn. If one group puts you on moderation for self-promotional content, it can trigger moderation for your other groups, even if they never put you on moderation explicitly (see http://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/38735).

Do a little bit, and see if anyone actually reads what you post in the groups (by looking at the referral traffic in your analytics program). All too often, the groups are filled with everyone promoting their own posts, and nobody commenting on the posts or questions that other people have. You'll need to decide if LinkedIn is worth the time you spend on it.

Here's a couple of things I would add to the process.

2a) Look at what the person has written before you ask them to write. Nothing like asking them to write for you, then needing to decline once you see their post.

3a) Have a good reason for them to post. The person doing the writing needs to get paid. If they are a freelancer, you're competing with other people who are willing to pay them for their time. If they are at a company with a boss, they need to convince their boss that it's worthwhile for them to donate their time to write for you, instead of writing for their own site, or doing something else to generate their company money.

4a) Don't push your luck with asking people to write for you for free and then also link to you.

One solution would be to not index the directory that has the profiles. Do you get many visits from organic search to these pages?
