If Google Business disapproves your website's URL, it could be due to several reasons such as malformation, domain issues, or non-compliance with their guidelines. To address this:
-
Proper Formatting: Ensure that your URL is correctly formatted. It should start with "http://" or "https://" and should be in a standard format without any unusual characters or spaces.
-
Active URL: Make sure that your website is active and accessible. If it's down or under maintenance, Google may not approve it.
-
Compliance with Guidelines: Check Google's guidelines for business listings and ensure that your website meets all the necessary requirements. This includes having accurate and up-to-date information, relevant content, and adhering to Google's policies regarding content and behavior.
-
Domain Issues: Verify that there are no issues with your domain such as being flagged for malware, phishing, or other malicious activities. Also, ensure that your domain is not a subdomain or a free-hosted domain which Google may not approve.
-
Contact Support: If the issue persists despite ensuring the above points, consider reaching out to Google Business support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation.

Moz Local: Does cancelling change information in business listings?
I was reading the FAQ on Moz Local and would like clarification about this question/answer: What happens to my listings on the sites in your network if I cancel my Moz Local subscription? Moz Local will simply report to the sites in our network that the listing is no longer under management by one of our customers. In this event, Acxiom and Neustar Localeze will revert your listings to their status prior to your Moz Local subscription. In some cases, your other listings will lose enhanced content like website URL, secondary category information, logos, and other images. Moz Local will not actively remove your listing from our network of sites. You will always have the ability to reclaim your listings manually on each site if you decide to cancel your Moz Local subscription. So let's say my business moved to another location. Then I signed up for a Moz Local subscription, updated my business address, and then did not renew. After I cancel the Moz Local subscription, will my business address in the Acxiom and Localeze listings revert to what it was before I changed it through Moz Local? Please let me know. Thanks!

Why is Moz local showing my google plus page as incomplete when it is 100% complete
Hi all, New to using Moz Local and so far I like it - but some information is a bit confusing. Specifically the "Incomplete" listings. When I click on it - it shows my Google Plus page (which is verified) as being incomplete. The reason provided is that Moz Local thinks I need to add 3 more categories, when in fact there are no more categories available on Google Plus. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.
