Hi Stephen,

Webmeup is a crawler unrelated to Moz. Feel free to block them if you'd like, though they don't seem to be nefarious in intent. They've listed info about their crawler and how best to block them here: http://webmeup-crawler.com/.

This is a great question and a topic we are really interested in hearing more about at Moz. We understand that changing workflows can be painful and challenging, and are dedicated to making Moz Analytics a worthy successor to Pro.

If you have any specific items that you find frustrating, missing, or hard to find, we'd love it of you respond in the thread, or even email me directly (adam -at- a-moz.groupbuyseo.org). Also let us know if there are things we could do to help, whether it be resources, education, or product changes.

Thanks!

Very good question. I dug in a little bit and found out that both the Great Britain and United Kingdom option are exactly the same behind the scenes. Both return rankings for google.co.uk. I'm not sure how the GB option got in there, but we'll take it out soon and just leave the UK option.

For any people that chose GB in the past, their campaigns will continue to work and pull UK results.

Sorry for the confusion!
