Moz Pro

Paid

Moz Pro is an SEO software suite developed by Moz for keyword, ranking, link, competitor, and site health analysis. It combines Keyword Explorer, rank tracking, site crawling, on-page recommendations, Link Explorer data, and reporting, while Moz's Domain Authority and related metrics provide comparative indicators rather than Google ranking factors. It is suited to marketers and agencies that want an established, approachable toolkit for recurring SEO campaigns, audits, competitive benchmarking, and client reporting.

What it does

Moz Pro is an SEO suite centered on its proprietary Domain Authority (DA) and Page Authority (PA) metrics, which have become widely-used shorthand for estimating how well a domain or page can rank. Beyond metrics, it provides keyword research with difficulty scores, a site crawler (Site Crawl) that detects technical errors affecting indexation and ranking, rank tracking for target keywords across locations and devices, and link research through its Link Explorer tool. The On-Page Grader scores individual pages for a target keyword against on-page SEO best practices and competitor pages. Moz Local, sold separately, manages business listings for local SEO.

Where it fits

Moz Pro spans multiple SEO workflow stages — research, auditing, tracking — making it a generalist platform rather than a specialist tool for any one task.

Core features

  • Domain Authority and Page Authority scores for any domain or URL
  • Keyword Explorer with difficulty, opportunity, and priority scoring
  • Site Crawl detecting 60+ technical SEO issues across your domain
  • Rank Tracker with daily updates across locations, devices, and search engines
  • Link Explorer for backlink analysis, anchor text, and link equity data
  • On-Page Grader scoring page optimization for a specific keyword

Best for

  • SEO professionals reporting link authority metrics to clients who recognize DA as a benchmark
  • Teams needing a combined keyword, rank tracking, and site audit workflow in one platform
  • Outreach teams evaluating prospect domain authority before link acquisition

Beginner notes

  1. Domain Authority is Moz's own metric, not a Google signal; Google does not use DA in ranking. It is useful for relative comparisons between sites, not as an absolute ranking predictor.
  2. The free Moz Bar browser extension lets you see DA/PA for any page without a subscription — a good entry point before committing to Moz Pro.
  3. Site Crawl crawls up to a certain page limit per subscription tier; on larger sites, prioritize crawling the sections you are actively optimizing rather than the full domain.
