How do you "Moz Crawl" a website? Newbie...
-
Hi everyone;
I've used Screaming Frog in the past and it's simple: you enter the URL to the box and click "start" and.. voila: as the button says, the crawling starts.
I've had the Pro version of Moz for a while now and haven't really 'done' anything with it. I'd like to crawl a website and thought it would be as easy as it's always been with Screaming Frog... but, for some reason, I can't find the 'way' to do it.
I find it really frustrating especially cause I feel like an idiot going around in circles thinking I'm missing something really obvious...
Until I realised the only solution was to ask here!
So... how in the world do you crawl a website using Moz tools? (Pro version)
Thanks!

Hi Patri!
OK, don't get frustrated too easily, it's really not that difficult but I could understand how it might look confusing to a newer client with the site redesign.
NOTE: MOZ doesn't work like Screaming Frog, with instant results upon crawling a domain, this you need to take into account first and understand. You need to setup a profile (campaign) for the website you want to crawl for data. With each PRO account, you get 5 campaigns to build and track while working on them.
First, sign into your account from the homepage
Second, click the MOZ logo and go to the site's main homepage. Look to the far RIGHT MARGIN at the TOP and click the button saying CAMPAIGNS & TOOLS. Once you are on this page, you will see a BUTTON in Blue titled SETUP A CAMPAIGN. Follow the steps to enter the URL, search engines to track, a few keywords to get you started and possibly the Google Analytics profile, to start gathering the information. This will create a CAMPAIGN for the site you are trying to crawl. It will start automatically and email you when the report is ready to be viewed. It's not automatic and might take some time, depending on how big the site is to get your crawl and data report.
You can access all the Products MOZ offers at this URL: http://moz.com/products and from here, click on the old disk (looks like an old 8" floppy disk), titled TOOLS and DATA. In this section, you can get to all the various tools we use as SEO's to analyze and get work done
Hope this helps! Cheers

Unsolved Moz tried to charge our credit card
Hello, We noticed that MOZ tried to charge our credit card, while we are on Trial period until today. We decided to cancel the subscription (until our budget grows and come back). The tool is great, but it currently is too expensive for our business. We enjoyed the trial period and will surely come back when our business can afford it!! Thanks!

Moz Site Crawl can't index WIX sites
We've been attempting to work on some SEO for a new potential client however they are using a WIX site. We've noticed that Moz SEO tools will not index any WIX sites. e.g. https://www.sharonradisch.com/ (which is one of their case studies). Anyone seen this that can offer any advice? Thanks,

Moz Not Crawling Angular SPA
I have a client that just launched a redesigned website using Angular as a single page app. Google appears to be able to crawl the site just fine, but Moz crawl is only finding one page. We have updated the htaccess to allow for Rogerbot and Dotbot, but still unable to crawl any pages other than the home page. Does anyone have experience with this or ideas of why it won't crawl all pages, and how to allow for Moz to crawl all pages? There is a sitemap with approx. 390 pages. Thanks!

Moz health check for newbies
Hi I'm on the free trial, I'm finding it really useful. since I was 16 (16years ago) all I've done is cook. After 3 weeks of Moz I feel like I'm or the way to marketing my business instead of having others tell me how to do it. A while back I used to use SEO freelancers to buff my site, but recently I realized that I was not doing enough to promote my business myself, I was trying to pay others to do it for me. I goggled Soe and marketing, of course I found Moz while doing so! The content is exceptional and really goes in depth and we are now coming up with a new content strategy! The problem is that I have this gut feeling that The moz product is worth the money it asks for as I can easily identify the issues or opportunities my site has, I still feel that I lack the competence to use moz to its full potential! Is there an option to have someone skpe me and give me some tips or in sites with in my own campaign? I've spent a lot of time reading the blog content and watching the videos but this all seams to focus on how to get results but not so much on how to use the Moz console/dashboard. I've probably just missed a hole bunch of content but if not do Moz have and option to help set up your Moz analytic and Research so you can get the most relevant info to you? Any help is most welcome Kind regards Ben Horle SussexChef.com

New to using MOZ. Familiar with Google Analytics. With MOZ is there a code snippet to include on my site?
Just taken over web marketing responsibilities at my company. Will be doing some major website upgrades soon. I'm not familiar with MOZ and don't want to overwrite anything. So when setting up MOZ, is there a code snippet that goes anyplace on the site like there is with Google analytics? Thanks.

How do I update the crawl issues & Notifications?
I have a list of errors, most relating to missing meta descriptions. I have added a meta description to a page, visited the site and viewed the source, and the meta description is now there. When I go to analyze issues, the report it gives back for the link contains the same missing meta description as previously. How do I get it to update and realize the issue has been fixed?
