I’d like to set up a Moz campaign that crawls just the primary website, not subdomains
-
Is this something you could help with? (it either bombs or crawls everything, so I assume I’m missing something in the campaign settings, or it’s just not possible.

Hey, thanks for reaching out to us!
You can block our crawler from crawling specific subdomains of your site by excluding our user-agent from the subdomains robots.txt file. Our user agent is "rogerbot" and the directive would look something like this:
User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /You will want to make sure that this is associated with the robots.txt file specific to the subdomain you want to block.
You can read more about Rogerbot in our guide.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further questions.

Changing the Moz Crawl Date
Hello, I am wondering where I can change the date of Crawl by Moz. I would like to change this crawl period from one week to 2 or even 3 weeks for Moz to crawl my website. Hope to hear from anyone soon. Kind regards, Koen.

Adding a campaign freezes in first step, any tips on how to resolve this issue?
I just subscribed to the 30 days trial and wanted to set up my first campaign, but it just doesn't work. I name the campaign, enter the URL and click Next >>. The page starts processing but even after 5 minutes waiting time, nothing happens. I just don't get through to the 2nd step. I already tried setting it up in Firefox, Chrome and Opera. It just won't work. 😕

Whenever I try to access campaigns in moz pro I get an error page
I recently signed-up for a new pro account. As I was adding my first subdomain everything was fine until I was asked to link to GA, when I clicked yes I got this error message: 403 Forbidden Now every time I click on set-up campaign I get taken to a page with nothing but the 403 Forbidden text.
