Should I leave the updating to Moz Local (App) or do it myself?
-
Hello.
I am using the Moz Local service to submit my site to directories. There seems to be a bit of conflicting information/Instructions. Do I just sit back and let Moz continue with providing updates to the sites, or do I have to manually go in to each of the partner sites to make sure that they are all updated correctly?
I seem to remember reading one instruction telling me to let Moz do it, and another saying that I should be doing it.
There are missing categories on some of the sites, which I am being told to make sure are correct, whilst the Moz Local site is saying 'Update in progress'.
I am a bit confused :0)

My Google+ graph is on 100% incomplete, even though my Google+ local business page is up and running and has been verified by Google. How do I kick-start this so that it reflects the real score?

So for the UK Moz Local product, I should just leave Moz to deal with everything in the graph/chart, except Google, Facebook and Yelp, even if there are inconsistencies and missing items?

Hi There,
The Moz Local tool helps to make listing data for a physical business consistent across multiple directories. This tool specifically targets the name, address, phone number, and website for a physical business because consistent data for those things helps sites to rank better in organic searches. The tool also creates listings with our partner directories if a listing for the business doesn't already exist, which helps to make the business more visible. This is all done automatically so it will all be done on this end.
Basically, with Moz Local, it all starts with an existing Google+ Places or Facebook Local page that matches the business name, address, and phone number you are hoping to find in our check listing tool or when you're bulk uploading listing via the CSV upload. If you're not seeing an exact matching business NAP, you may need to make some adjustments on the existing Google+ or Facebook pages to ensure the business NAP matches and to make sure they show up as local business pages.
Once you purchase your listing we publish your listing data to all of our partners for processing—which takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to eight weeks to update.
Here are our partners:
Infogroup
Acxiom
Neustar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web
Citysearch
Insider Pages
BingAnyone outside of our partners you may need to update manually so that may be creating some of the confusion. Hopefully this helps clear everything up but if you have any questions for me please let me know
Have an awesome day and I look forward to speaking with you!

How to add alternate addresses in Moz Local duplicate section
As someone that recently moved from an agency to a position in-house, I am appalled at the lack of support and resources for users of Moz Local that are NOT connected to an agency partner. Without a public phone number, a support rep, and nobody manning the chat... how are we supposed to get answers for the service that we paid good money for? I would like to know how to add an alternate address to the duplicate are of our listing account. We have an old address that appears everywhere but is not showing in the duplicate listing report and I'm not sure how to add it. Any help would be appreciated. A public phone number and/or tech support rep would be even better! Bryan Mull

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?

MozLocal Update in Progress?
I just want to clarify something. If I have listing that reads: "update in progress," I don't have to do anything, correct? I'm just supposed to sit back and wait for Mozlocal to push it out? Thanks, Ruben
