Local Moz - documentation for Acxiom
-
Hello there,
Moz Local shows that I am not listed with Acxiom, so I went directly to the Acxiom website to add my business listing. During that process, Acxiom asks for business documentation to be uploaded (DBA, license, Federal ID, etc.). If I were using Local Moz to send the data out to the data aggregators, how does it handle this portion (uploading business license, etc. as required)?
I'm hoping to use Moz Local for my website clients but need to understand this bit first.
Thanks for your help!

Hi again Sean,
Just FYI: this is what I got back from Axciom...so you are saying that this won't happen when using Moz Local?
Thank you for your interest in MyBusinessListingManager.
Your request to add your business listing cannot be approved at this time. The Proof of Ownership document you provided is not one of the official documents listed below or does not include the same business name or address as on your registration request. Please upload, or email an official document, mailed to your place of business, with the same business name and address as on your registration request to mblm@acxiom.com.
If we do not receive one of the following proof of ownership documents within 14 days, your request will be denied and you will need to submit a new request via www.mybusinesslistingmanager.com
- 1. Federal Tax License Letter *submit the letter that includes your ID#, name, address and/or phone number of business
- 2. State, County, or City Business License or Sales Tax License
- 3. Doing Business As License
- 4. Fictitious Name Registration
Please note: The business name and address on your document must match the information on your registration. We do not accept documents from internet websites, images of company logos, W-9 forms, copies of business cards, or Word documents as proof of ownership.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I can now offer this service to clients with confidence, based on your response. It was a bit disconcerting to have Axciom need such documentation for a listing but am glad Moz has the necessary in place to negate that part of the process.
Cheers!

Hi There,
Thanks for writing us and although I cannot speak to the exact agreement Moz has with Axciom, I can say that a business license is not required to upload a listing.
Moz uses Google and Facebook places to validates a business location, so no documentation is needed. For an amazing run down of Moz Local and provide some additional clarification on the service I would check out our amazing help hub at: http://moz.com/help/guides/local.
Hopefully this helps and if you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to ask and I would be happy to help.
I wish you a magical day and look forward to hearing from you soon!

Effect of Moz Local
Hi I'm pretty new to all of this so please be gentle! I've been subscribed to Moz Local for a little over a year and my ratings seem to be stuck at an overall score of 82% and an accuracy score of 87% and I just can't seem to get into the Top 3 local searches with competitors from further away outranking me. Moz Local has been consistently showing Factual, Bing, Hotfrog, Thomson Local & Central Index all showing no address entered. I've been in and put this in myself but no change? Right now my score is showing as 59% with a number incomplete and other unable to be contacted. I have found that, even though the address is entered in a consistent way, that it gets interpreted differently, sometimes leaving out the County, sometimes, the village. I've started going through the "Ultimate Local SEO Audit" and have completed Phase 1 on Google My Business. Pretty much everything looks in order there and the only real change was associating a domain email address with the ownership rather than the old gmail one. I've started to go through Phase 2 and haven't seen anything new there yet. What am I missing? Or, are the Moz Local scores fairly respectable? How can I get real consistency in NAP and why does it seem to take so long for Moz Local to make any changes ..... if/ when they do? And, if everything is as you would expect, why am I failing to get in the top 3 when I have more and better review than anyone within 30 - 40 miles?

We have a client moving office locations in a month. When should we submit new address in Moz Local to the data providers?
It's the fine line of don't submit too early, but don't submit too late. When is the right time to submit the new address. This client will be working at current address until Christmas Eve. The day after Christmas, they move into their brand new building and address.

WIll Moz local submit to all local directories?
I have some variance in my company name (spacing/nospacing) and even my web address, www/non-www so I want to consolidate all of them. On top of that I need to build up my local citations so need to submit to more local directories. Will Moz local take away the job of local directory submission from me? I understand they use like 5 data aggregators, I understand they are the directories of directories, so does that mean these 4 will submit to local directories for me? How many local directories is moz local suppose to get you on? Also I understand it can take a month for your listing to show. In this case, would it not be better to just do it manually? I mean if I submit to yell.com now it's going to be there instantly, on top of that If I don't have the time I can outsource the work to India for very cheap and probably cost less than £84? Thanks

What are the listings (citations) when you use Moz Local?
How do I find what the actual listings are when using Moz Local? I want to add more citations for my clients and don't want to create duplicates. _There are five main aggregators of location data that send information to local search engines: Infogroup, Neustar Localeze, Acxiom, and Factual and Foursquare. Is the info we are giving in Moz Local_* In the Dashboard...it show that "35 listings reach". but what are the actual listings? Do I need to use Whitespark to see what the actual listings are? Currently right now, I can only see like 18 listings. Any insight? Regards, Benny

Has anyone used Moz local for their clients?
If you already have accounts with some of the local directories can you still use Moz local or is it just for business who have never claimed their business? I'd like to offer this as a service to clients but they will see it's Moz local and just do it themselves. Anyone know if there is a branded version coming soon?

What do I do if Moz Local is pulling the wrong business citation?
Hi everyone, I have several business listings that I manage on Moz Local, and a lot of them have similar names. I'm running into an issue where Moz Local is pulling a citation (Ex.
