How do you choose a country when uploading a keyword list into Keyword Explorer?
-
Hi There,
I'v been exploring keywords in the Keyword Explorer search bar and changing the Google country via the dropdown (very useful).
But now that I'm uploading lists via CSV, I can't figure out how to change the country - see screenshot attached.
I think I've just wasted a bunch of monthly queries because the lists created via .csv are all for the wrong country!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

Hey there - Sam from Moz's Help team here!
Sorry to hear you're running into trouble! Creating a list in Keyword Explorer with international search engine data involves just one extra step.
- Go to Keyword Explorer, and enter one of your keywords. Choose your desired search engine, and click on the magnifying glass.
- Now, you'll create a list with this keyword/search engine. On the right side of your screen, you'll see " + Create New List." Click on this button.
- Name your list, and click Save.
- You can now access this list by going back to the Keyword Explorer main page (https://mza.seotoolninja.com/explorer/).
- Click on this list, and add keywords by clicking on "Enter Keywords." Copy/paste your list of keywords, and click Save.
This will now gather metrics in the search engine you originally selected! If you wish to bulk upload a keyword list via CSV, you can find the formatting guidelines on this page: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/keyword-explorer#frequently-asked-questions - you would want to adjust the 'locale' column to fit with your desired search engine, eg. en-CA, en-US, and so on prior to uploading.
When you upload a keyword list, we are actually running a full keyword report on that keyword - so this would have removed some of your available keyword queries. I'm really sorry about that.
I hope this helps - if you have any other questions, feel free to ask here or pop a message over to [email protected]:).

Should I exclude prepositions in tracked keywords of moz analytics?
I'm new to Moz. Just set up my trial campaign, and it had suggested many keywords. Many of the phrases that were suggested do not contain prepositions. For example, instead of something like "sporting good stores in Chicago" it suggested "sporting good stores Chicago" Today, I looked at the on-page optimization suggestions, which are (of course) suggesting that I remove prepositions from my page to rank well. Well, as you know, that is unnatural to the reader. But I suspect people are searching in higher volume, leaving the prepositions out. I know that if I were to search for a sporting goods store in Chicago, I would probably leave out "in." What should I do? Should I remove all the suggested keywords, and make them readable (which people are less like using in their search?) Do I go back to all my pages and try to optimize it for a keyword that is natural, but does not include a preposition (such as Chicago sporting goods stores) or should I be doing something else?

Fresh Web Explorer email alert subject
I need to know what the subject line of an email alert from Fresh Web Explorer will say. Our account email is a department-wide account that doesn't get checked regularly and receives hundreds of emails a day. I need to create a forwarding filter, so any unique identifiers for that email would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Is a higher or lower score better in keyword ranking
I know this is a weird question, I think I have confused myself with different keyword tools. So if you get a score of 10 for your keyword, should you aim to be closer to 1 or 50?

On-page Grader and Cyrillic keywords
Hi all, I'm trying out the On-page grader and i see "funny" output when it comes to cyrillic keywords. I can see 73 occurrences in the title, 108 in the meta description tag, 34 in the H1 tag, etc. etc... Of course, these are not correct and i've manually checked. I've tested a few other pages in Bulgarian, using Cyrillic kewords... same story 😞 Please, let me know if there's something i'm missing, as this is crucial for my work. Thanks in advance.
