Moz Local and Telephone Number Change
-
I've been using Moz Local for a couple of months now and I must say it taught me a thing or two about complexity management!
We recently acquired a new phone number for my business and I would like Moz Local assistance to make sure the new number gets populated out there in the wild. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Richard we do not allow 800 numbers that our partners do not accept. If we allowed the 800 numbers we would the pass the details along to our partners and get rejected. Unfortunately at this time there is no override for this requirement as if we did bypass it your data would still be stuck in limbo.

I have a question regarding Moz Local and its causing me a big headache! My client has 2 locations and so I am trying to upload them via the template .csv file which I have ready to go. But the main telephone number field doesn’t allow 800 number and my client (as do most businesses) has a 855 number as the main contact. Is there a solution for this as I cannot upload them currently as it stops me with the 855 number. they have no other number apart from cell phones which they dont want to disclose!

Gettin a little frustrated with Moz wait times. Still my phone number is not updated. http://crystalcleareyecare.com , https://plus.google.com/+Crystalcleareyecare https://www.facebook.com/CrystalClearEyecare . The problem with this is that's there's no feedback from Moz to let you know is not right. Just says these sites are inconsistent.
Also, We've been busy partnering with other firms and have many more external links but The DA never changes - hasn't changed since Jan 27th. We've sent several emails over the last couple of months and the answer is always wait. And the wait is always more than about a week or two.
Please accept my feedback. I feel you have a great service both Local and Pro but the wait times and lack of additional info is making me question the ROI.

Thanks James and Ryan. Yes. it is the main phone number and I've changed the number to the new one in both Facebook and Google +.

Hi David - If this is the main phone number you can update it on Facebook and Google + and we will auto update this info within a week. If it is a secondary phone number as Ryan said you can add it as the Alt Phone on the .csv.

Hi David. Within Moz Local you'll want to use the Alt Phone tag... (from the help doc page: https://moz.com/local/help/documentation) Cheers!
Alt Phone (Optional)
An alternate phone number by which your business can be contacted. Please note that you must have a local contact number as your main phone number. Toll-free numbers may be included as alternate phone numbers.
Example:
(800) 555-5555

Updating Local Listings that Moz Local Won't Update completely?
I use Moz local and have for over a year, so my profiles should all be spot on by now. How can you update some inconsistent info that Moz does't provide or is not updating. I have tried to go in and claim some of the listings that the information isn't filled in properly or the ones that don't have the categories filled out that I know Moz Local won't do, but it is saying it is managed by Moz and won't let me claim it. What can I do.

MOZ Local not picking up citations
Hello - We like using the MOZ dashboard as an indicator of SEO health but have run into an instance where we have two citations with the correct NAP that are not being picked up in the MOZ report. The City Search and InsiderPages listings were build through YEXT and have been up for two months. Is there a way to report a match to MOZ?

Linking Google Business Page to Moz Local?
I'm working on updating an existing Moz Local account, and one of the listings says that there is "No listing found on Google." However, there is a Google Business page for this listing, it just isn't linked to my account. And the only option Moz gives me is to "create listing" on Google, which takes me to the page to create a Google business listing. So my question is this: how do I link an existing Google Business page to a Moz local listing that is already mostly set up?

How does the "Update Listing" in the InComplete section of Moz Local work?
I know it takes you to the listing site. Do you then have to create an account and claim the listing and then update it there? Does claiming the listing lose the connection with Moz Local? I've been spending a lot of time claiming listings and wondering if that's correct or not. Thanks Dana

Moz Local Validation
I am trying to list my business under Moz Local. I have filled out all of the documentation and had no errors. However I am stuck on Validation. It says "We were unable to validate the following listings on either Google or Facebook Places." I have checked both my google and facebook pages they are up to date with the most current address. Any ideas where the problem may be?
