Updating a Business name only in Moz Local.
-
My clients business changed their name. When I updated the CSV with the new business name in Moz Local it created a brand new business listing.
Is there a better way to update only the business name?

Hi Gyi,
Thanks for letting me know this. I'm really sorry for whatever may have caused this confusion. May I suggest that you please start a ticket at https://moz.com/help/contact so that you can share the complete details of your Moz Local account in private and have it investigated by our help team? That would be the best way to approach this, I believe.

The name on both the Facebook and Google+ page were updated prior to uploading my new business information.

Hi Gyi,
Thanks for your question. This is my understanding of our process of uploading changes to an existent listing:
When you want to change any of the NAP+W (name, address, phone, website) information for a listing, you will first need to update this information on either Google or Facebook. We use Google/Facebook to verify that listing information is correct.
When you are done updating your information on Google/Facebook, you can then go ahead and upload your updated CSV to us and we will recognize it as an update and not charge you as if it were a brand new listing.
It is important to note that you must modify your existing listing on Google/FB and not create a new one. Otherwise we will not be able to recognize it as an update.
Did you take these steps in this order, Gyi? Please, let me know!

What do I do if the business listed in Moz Local Business Listing for Yellow Pages is wrong?
Hey there! I have a business listing set up in Moz Local. The system seems to have accurately found the business on most networks, but on Yellow Pages, it has a completely different business listed (my business is a Pilates studio and it has a soccer club listed). What are the steps I can take to fix this? I can claim my listing on Yellow Pages, but after I do that, how does Moz Local associate the two? Thanks, --eric

“XXX Close” and “XXX Cl” showing up as inconsistencies of the same address in Moz Local checker
I was using the moz local check listing feature to check one of our clients whos addresses is “XXX Close” When i check listing in moz local i get 2 options of the site : with address “XXX Close” with address “XXX Cl” If i click on the “XXX Close” version it shows me listing where the address is written as “XXX Cl” as being inconsistent and visa versa if i click on the “XXX Cl” version. (this happens as some sites reformat the text, ive submitted them all as “XXX Close”) Is the something to be concerned about ? eg. could it effect rankings or does google understand that they are the same ?

Moz Local - duplicate descriptions
Hello, I was looking at Moz Local and saw that you are supposed to enter a business "description". However, I'm pretty sure local directories will not want duplicate descriptions - can I leave the description blank and then add varied descriptions directly? Is that a way around this issue? Your thoughts would be welcome.
