Moz Pro Site Crawl: Configure a Campaign and Verify Issues

Moz Pro Site Crawl is the crawling component within a Moz Pro campaign. Use it when you want recurring crawl findings alongside Moz Pro's other campaign data. Verify the affected URLs before assigning work: a severity label reflects the tool's rules, while the correct action depends on page intent and business impact.

What Is Moz Pro Site Crawl?

Moz Pro combines site crawling with keyword, link and reporting features. Site Crawl is designed to surface recurring technical issues within configured campaigns. It is different from a one-off page checker and different from a fully configurable desktop crawler.

Set Up a Campaign

Choose the canonical host and the campaign's intended scope.
Confirm the plan's current campaign and crawl allowances against the site inventory.
Review any crawl restrictions, robots rules and exclusion settings.
After the first crawl, compare discovered URLs with XML sitemaps and a known list of important pages.
Retain the scope and date so later changes can be compared fairly.

Read Crawl Results

Start with the affected URL list, not the total issue count. Check several examples from every shared template and trace the links or directives that created the condition. Record whether each pattern is confirmed, intentional, out of scope or a false positive.

Turn Categories into Work

Group issues by the component or rule that can fix them. A single navigation link can create many broken-URL rows; one template can repeat a canonical or metadata problem across a section. Give each task an owner, expected result and retest method.

Keep Domain Authority in Context

Moz defines Domain Authority as its comparative search-ranking metric. It is not a Google metric and does not determine whether a technical crawl finding is valid. Use crawl evidence to diagnose site conditions and comparative link metrics for their stated comparative purpose.

Moz vs Other Tools

Moz may fit a team already using Moz Pro campaigns. Screaming Frog offers deeper local crawl configuration, while Ahrefs, Semrush and SE Ranking provide other cloud-platform workflows. Test required rendering, exports, history and limits with the same sample site.

Who It Fits

Shortlist Moz when recurring campaign monitoring and the wider Moz Pro toolset match the team's work. Choose another crawler when you need a capability that the current Moz documentation or trial cannot demonstrate, such as a particular rendering, extraction or automation workflow.

Pricing

Moz Pro plans and allowances can change. Check the official pricing page for current campaign, page, seat and feature limits. Use a trial or sales confirmation for any capability central to the purchase.
