Local business check
-
I've just done a local business listing check and it's come back with an inconsistency on the address. I can't understand where the inconsistency it as Google haven't verified the address yet. I've tried to rectify it but can't seem to correct it. Any suggestions please?

Thanks for getting back to me. This is the link.
I will also e mail moz as requested.
I realise that replicating the exact information is important and this is why I'm trying to make sure that there are no inconsistencies.
Thanks again,
Jennifer

shogajen, consistency with your local business listings is extremely important, as the Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) data should be the same on all listings. One of the ways that the search engines use as a ranking factor is that consistency: if they see another address, phone number, or company name, they might not give you "credit" for that listing or citation.
When it comes to the local business listing check, they don't only check the Google listing, other listings are checked. Also, even though your business isn't verified yet, Google will most likely have your company NAP data from another source.
In order to correct any listings, you'll need to verify the listing first, and then you should be able to log in and correct it. If it's a duplicate listing or an incorrect listing (an additional listing), then there are ways to flag listings.
The other option is to work with a service such as Moz Local, Yext, Advice Local (our service) that have direct access to update the listings at Google and other sites.

Hi there!
Could you send us an email to help@moz.com with the name, address, and phone number of your business so that we can take a look? If you have the direct Moz Local link, that would help as well. Thanks!

Unsolved How do you use placeholders in Moz Local Descriptions?

We have 2 verified listing in Moz Local, one verified by Google and one verified by Facebook. Can I bring them together?
The thing is, the listing verified through Google also has metrics for listings within a number of other direct networks, and the listing verified with Facebook has metrics showing for other direct networks. It would be good if I could bring these together and get a better overall picture of how our local listings are optimised.

MOZ Local Issue - Having Problem submitting multiple offices in the same city
Good Morning We help medical practices with their online marketing. One of our clients has 5 locations in the DC area. This practice has two locations in both Chevy Chase, MD and Washington DC. I am trying to submit all 5 locations to MOZ Local but I am running into issues with MOZ recognizing the other location's information in the same city. My issue arises when I try to submit the second location in the same city. MOZ keeps pulling the google and facebook information for the other practice location in the same city and giving the error that I have to update google and facebook to have the submission go through. MOZ-is there someone that can help me with adding these two locations that won't go through?! Thanks! Best Regards Joel

Moz local is telling me that I don't have a Google+ listing when I actually do. What is the problem?
I have about 7 of my clients listings currently in Moz Local. It's showing that we don't have a Google+ listing when we actually do. Everything I have in Google My Business (NAP) matches what I have in Moz Local. It's a service based business and Google has recommended that we hide the address since consumers don't actually visit my clients location. Could that be the issue? If so, how do we take care of this?
