Where did the local pin symbol go?
-
Last week I was checking local Google places rankings with the ranking tool. The symbol was there for say 65% of my 260 keywords, and the lines were above the symbol indicating i was listed in the local area places results for say 65% of keywords with symbol.
This week there is no symbol one way or the other. I have opened a ticket but am not communicating well with Kenny.
He says I need to work on my seo and to talk to seo specialists as he is not one of them. I can understand slipping in the rankings (all to well). But where did the symbol go? It is suppose to be there whether I rank or not.
Please help

I am not super concerned with rankings, but the pin that usually shows up for local terms has stopped showing up for all 260 keyword phrases.
I read literature and watched SEOmoz Webinars, and I know that the local pin shows for local search terms, whether you rank or not!
If you rank, lines appear above the local pin.
The local pin has completely disappeared???

Hey Michael! Sorry that Kenny wasn't able to communicate well with you; was there a misunderstanding or can you go over the issue in more detail? The Help Team can't help with SEO questions, but the Q&A definitely can!
It sounds like you're trying to find out why you're not ranking in the local vertical like you used to be - is that correct? Or are the PRO tools not properly representing your rankings? If you can give us or Kenny examples of keywords that are one way in Google, but another way in the Web App, we can certainly check it out. From what I can tell, Kenny already verified a lot of the rankings, but perhaps he missed something. The more examples you can give, the better.
If this is more of a question of why you're not ranking for the local verticals, hopefully someone here in Q&A can get you an SEO-based answer. Thanks for your understanding!

How to Combine the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool with Google Keyword Planner for LOCAL (city/town) Results
Hi there, I wish that Moz would show local (city/town) results in their Keyword Difficulty Tool. But they don't, so here's my question: I'm trying to rank for keywords "interior design" in a local geographic area in the US. When using Google KWP, I'm selecting all the towns I want to rank in, and searching against the keywords INTERIOR DESIGN. The search volume appears to be approx. 370 a month. What I'm not sure about is whether I should instead (or in addition to), be searching for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY), and leaving the geographic selection as US. What is most accurate? OR...should I search for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY) in Moz's Keyword tool? How do you guys do it?

How do i get the crawler going again?
The initial crawl only hit one page. Set up another campaign for another site and it crawled 260 pages. How can I get the crawler started up again or do I really have to wait a week ?

Localize Web App
Is there a way to "localize the web app"? In other words, get ranking results based on a location? I pecked around the forum and documentation but couldn't find anything. Any plans to move in this direction? I'm getting wildly different results based on browser location settings. Any thoughts are welcome.

Why did Domain Authority go up so much? Did you change your measurement?
Our Domain Authority has been at 42 or 43 for a couple months and it just increased to 54. Why did this happen? I would like to think that it is because of out SEO and linkbuilding work. However, I suspect something else may be involved because the 3 competitors we track also all increased between 10 to 25 points at the same time. What happened? Did you make changes in the way you score DA or is this the result of changes in what pages you crawl? Or what?
