Moz Local not updating after G+ and FB are updated
-
Per the FAQ, we updated the client G+ and Facebook address information, but Moz Local still lists the incorrect address information. Any ideas on a time frame when the MOZ listing will update? FAQ's state an hour, but that is not happening in this case.

Thanks! We ended up having to get Google involved to manually validate the listings.

I keep following that process and still get the following error: For security, we require your location to exactly match a verified listing on Google or Facebook. To proceed, please update the listings in your CSV or select a verified match for each listing below.
Both Facebook and G+ have the correct physical address on my admin view of G+ (which shows verified) and Facebook, so I am uncertain why this keeps happening.

Good Morning!
Thanks so much for asking about this:) Any time you need to edit your name, address, phone number or website in Moz Local, there is a set of specific steps that need to be taken in a specific order to push your changes through. Let me share these steps with you here:
First, edit the desired data on your Google+ Local or Facebook Place Page
About an hour later, please log into your Moz Local account click the little cloud icon on the page to download the .CSV file our system has auto-generated for your business.
Edit the desired field in the .CSV, making sure that you hand-type in whatever edit you need to make. We recommend using either a recent version of Excel or Google’s free Google Sheets to edit your .CSV. If you have multiple businesses in the .CSV, you can delete the other rows so that we are only editing the business of your choice.
Save the .CSV and then return to the Moz Local dashboard and upload the .CSV via the big yellow button.
We will then re-validate the listing against Google or Facebook and you should see your edit succeed.
I sincerely hope these steps will be helpful! Please let me know if you have any further questions!
If you run into any trouble and need to have a Help Team member take a one-on-one look at your account, please do contact us through the Help Hub:)

Local Search and Moz Local Question
I'm using Moz Local for a few clients right now with good results. Was talking to a friend about using it for one of her web clients and a new scenario came up. The client does waste management and has a dozen locations in/outside of a metro area. She's been "trying to get their listing on Google Maps" without luck. After some probing, it turns out their main address for operations is in the metro area they are targeting, but they don't have waste facilities there and wanted to prevent customers from coming there. They actually use a PO Box for their contact information on their website and make no mention of the main address. Looking to see if anyone agrees with my proposed solution: Claim Google My Business listing for the main address in the metro area they're trying to optimize for. Use Moz Local to clean up their main listing (after a quick check, it's a mess) for the operations address. Update website contact info to include the main operations address, and make specific mention of which other addresses customers should/shouldn't go to for dumping/picking up equipment. So, the recommendation would be one Moz Local account. I figure no need to do listing for all of their other locations since they're just waste facilities controlled by the main listing. Does this seem like a plan?

Why can't Moz Local pull up my Bing local listing?
One of my listings on Moz Local has a Bing Local listing, but Moz Local can't locate it and suggests that I create one. The NAP is consistent. Is this something that occasionally occurs?

Anyone else having trouble uploading CSV file to Moz Local?
I have filled out the listings template provided by Moz Local for creating listings. I uploaded a week or so ago and when I went to check listings today, none were created. So I tried to upload the CSV file again, and it is giving me an error saying "Make sure you are uploading a CSV (Comma Delimited) file and that you include the column titles. If you are using Microsoft Excel, please export your spreadsheet as a CSV file first.". I have saved it as a CSV in both Excel and Google sheets, but neither file seems to be recognized by Moz Local as a CSV. Is this happening because of the previously uploaded file, or did it never get uploaded in the first place and I just missed the error message the first time around? Anyone else having problems uploading their CSV and found a way to get it accepted? Is there any other way to create a CSV from an excel file other than Excel or Google Sheets? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
