Moz local "add one of your own photos"
-
I am new to Moz Local, and I am working to update my business listing. I felt lost when there was a section asking for photos, but instead of uploading them, they are a URL. I do not understand how to add these photos. Can someone help?

Hi there - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
I'm sorry to hear you've had some difficulty adding photos to your listing. The photos the tool can accept have to be hosted somewhere other than Moz, and the URL has to be publicly accessible.
If you try to use a photo from a Facebook or Google Photo album, for example, you might encounter complications because those images are often protected behind your login. It's generally a good sign when a photo URL ends with a image file suffix, such as '.png' or '.jpg'.
For example, you can use a free photo-hosting site, such as this one. You can upload your image here and then get the full URL and then that's the URL you'd post into Moz Local. Here's a short video demonstrating uploading a photo on this site and getting the full URL.
Something else to note is that photo URLs cannot be too long because there is a character limit to each field. Try to make sure the photo URLs you use are publicly accessible and not too long, and you should be good to go!
If there's anything else you need, just let us know by reaching out to help@moz.com

Assuming that you're using Google Chrome browser on a Mac, then:
- Place the mouse over image
- Right click
- Scroll to the Copy Image Address
- Paste this address wherever Moz locals form require it

"We were unable to validate the following listings with Google or Facebook"
Hi, I'm trying to submit the Moz Local service and it keeps saying unable to validate the listing even though our Facebook and Google accounts have been provided and match the listing. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to be struggling to find our listing for some reason.

Moz Local & Fourscare
Hi! I hope I didn't just mess myself up. I signed up for Moz Local, but I already had a foursquare account. I did authenticate it... but then I read that maybe I shouldn't have done this. Did I mess it up? If so, can I correct it?
