Moz needs to be correct / up to date in order to push the correct data to aggregators.

Here's another Moz Q&A connected to this question (link), the answer on the link goes into a little bit more detail (and there are some great follow up questions) but the answer to your questions is it can take from 1-8 weeks to have Moz's info updated with your changes. This has to do with the back and forth Moz has with the directory listings which can take some time.
I know this can sometimes be frustrating but you should keep in mind that if you change your Google business page and it looks good in Google that's what matters. Moz's tools are great for providing additional information and helping us analyze our progress but for the most part they don't effect our bottom line. If we make changes and Google/Bing recognizes the change then that's what will drive results, not whether Moz recognizes those changes.
Hopefully that helps!

Validating Google+ on Moz Local
Hello, On Moz Local it is showing up an incorrect google listing for the business I work for. In my actual Google account there is only one Google listing and it is correct but this correct version doesn't appear on Moz Local. I have followed the criteria to meet your google listing so I am confused in what to do. Many thanks,

Difference between 'City' and 'Province' on Moz Local business listing page
Sorry, I'm stuck on this one. I'm trying to clean up my business address on Moz Local as I have a duplicated version that ranks better than my verified listing (which is Fulham Nannies). I'm wondering if the problem arises from my entry on Moz Local's business listing for which I've entered 'London' in both the 'City' and 'Location' fields.. I'm not entirely sure that's correct, or what I should in fact enter in the 'province' field other than what I've got at the moment, I.e. London. Should I put something like 'South West London' for province and keep the city entry as London? I'd really appreciate any guidance anyone might have, thanks in advance.

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.

I have a client address (1-8 Russel Square) but Moz local picks it up as either 18 (when comparing duplicates) or drops the number altogether (in the actual listing info in Moz Local). How can I get this corrected?

We've imported keywords for a campaign & I've noticed a few typos is it possible to correct the typos? Or do I need to delete them & start over?
I'm importing sets of keywords that I've added locations to. Then I'm setting tags based on the city so I can pull a set of 15 keywords for each local market. I've noticed a couple typos that are now coming back to haunt me because I can't find a way to edit the typo without deleting the keyword & starting from scratch. When that happens I need to individually tag the keyword to 60 different locations. (I've spotted 3 typos (ugh - I wish I'd checked those more carefully before). I'm looking for a way to edit the keyword phrases but see how I can do that.

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.
