Business not being found via Moz Local on Facebook
-
Hello!
My place of business, Widewail in Burlington, VT, is not being scanned by Moz Local, even though we have an active Facebook business page with our Name, Address, and Phone number listed (URL, too). Is there something I need to check on our end to make sure we are crawlable by yall?
Thank you, Andrea, www.widewail.com

Hi Andrea, thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble!
I took a look at your page and I was unable to find anything immediately on my end that would be preventing us from picking up the page, but there are some factors that can be checked on your end. There can be a few different things inhibiting Moz Local’s ability to pick up a corresponding Facebook page.
There are specific details that need to be present on those listings in order for us to appropriately detect and match them to your Moz Local data. Here is list of the criteria that will enable the tool to detect your listing:
-The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local.
-The primary phone number listed must be a unique local number or a toll-free number.
-The primary page category must be “local business”.
-A minimum of 2 visitor check-ins are required. Not sure what to do here? Head to Facebook’s resources to see how to let people check in and how you can check in.
-The page must be fully accessible to all potential visitors, so any restrictions based on age, location, etc. must be disabled.This can be easily checked by attempting to view the Facebook page in a Chrome incognito browser while not logged into a Facebook account; if you can view the page normally in these conditions, the accessibility should be in good shape!
If you are still having issues after this, it may be best to write-in to us at help@moz.com

Will MOZ Local Claim the Foursquare listing for me?
Hello all! Well, basically that's the question in the subject! Will MOZ Local Claim the Foursquare listing for me? Do I need to first claim the listing in Foursquare and then and only then connect to MOZ Local? Because it seems to me that, if so, this is not happening currently. Thank you in advance!

Which "business type" is most appropriate for MozLocal?
We are trying to select our "business type" for MozLocal. It's not clear what the implication is by choosing one over the other: brick and mortar or service area? Does anyone understand the criteria to choose one over the other, and when and how is this used by local listings? Thanks.

WIll Moz local submit to all local directories?
I have some variance in my company name (spacing/nospacing) and even my web address, www/non-www so I want to consolidate all of them. On top of that I need to build up my local citations so need to submit to more local directories. Will Moz local take away the job of local directory submission from me? I understand they use like 5 data aggregators, I understand they are the directories of directories, so does that mean these 4 will submit to local directories for me? How many local directories is moz local suppose to get you on? Also I understand it can take a month for your listing to show. In this case, would it not be better to just do it manually? I mean if I submit to yell.com now it's going to be there instantly, on top of that If I don't have the time I can outsource the work to India for very cheap and probably cost less than £84? Thanks
