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.

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.

Creating Listings For Doctors and Dentist aside from the Business Name
What is the best way to create listings for Doctors/Dentist and keep them from showing as duplicates. Should they just have there name without the company name in the title but yet the address and same phone or no separate listing at all. I have noticed in Moz Local that these show as duplicates when listed in this format. Thanks Scott

Is the Google Local Descriptor compatible with MOZ Local?
If I'm understanding Google correctly, we can use a single descriptor as part of a business name, and to do so, you use the following format in the business name field: Business Name - Descriptor Is this correct? If so, is it not compatible with MOZ Local? I used the format above, and MOZ seems to see the descriptor as part of the business name, and won't let me verify. Is the best approach to using a descriptor to get verified first, then add it? Or will that mess other things up?
