Unsolved Apple Maps isn't syncing
-
Hi there! I have been using Mozlocal for a local client for a few months now. They recently opened, so I began the syncing process a few weeks ago. Apple Maps is reporting as synced when I view it in my Listings, but when viewing the actual listing on Apple Maps, the hours are very wrong. It is an important time of year for this business, and appearing as not open for 6 days a week is not great. Is there anything else I can do through Mozlocal to get this listing fully synced?

Manually verify the listing on Apple Maps and update directly.
Resubmit changes through Mozlocal to ensure re-syncing.
Contact Mozlocal support if issues persist to troubleshoot further. This can help with improving your local seo. -
@sarahwalsh Good question. I believe that has been done already, but I will double check! Thanks for the suggestion!

If Apple Maps isn’t syncing, try these quick fixes:
Check iCloud Settings: Ensure Maps is enabled in iCloud under Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud.
Update iOS: Make sure you have the latest iOS version, as updates can resolve syncing issues.
Check Internet Connection: Syncing requires a stable internet connection, so verify your Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Restart Devices: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to refresh the system.
Sign Out and Back into iCloud: Sometimes, signing out and back in can re-trigger sync.
Reset Location & Privacy: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy.
If none of these work, contact Apple Support for further assistance. -
@Beth_Shockley said in Apple Maps isn't syncing:
Hi! It sounds frustrating to deal with incorrect hours on such an important platform. While MozLocal reports the listing as synced, it’s possible that the data hasn't fully propagated to Apple Maps yet. Here's what you can try:Check for Manual Edits: Sometimes, listings might be manually edited by Apple users or local guides. Verify if any manual changes were made to the business hours on Apple Maps.
Resubmit Through MozLocal: Go back to your MozLocal dashboard and manually re-sync the data to Apple Maps. You can also update the business hours to ensure everything is correctly entered before resubmitting.
Apple Maps Connect: If MozLocal continues to show syncing issues, consider logging into Apple Maps Connect and manually update the hours there. This can help you regain control over the listing directly.
Wait and Monitor: It might take some time for Apple Maps to reflect the correct information. Monitor it for a few days after re-syncing or manual updates.
For those looking for an easy-to-use app with features like background music and multilingual support, check out YMusic for iOS. It might not solve your Apple Maps issue, but it's great for background entertainment while troubleshooting!>

Unsolved How long do you tell your SEO customers to wait before they start to see actual results from their SEO?
So, this is probably one of the most challenging questions for SEO agencies likes ours to answer. That is how long does it take for a business to see an increase in sales, because of the business investing in organic or local SEO. It ultimately comes down to how competitive the business sector is, we do know that. We are just wondering what various SEO companies tell their clients. Is it for example, they have to wait a minimum of six months of paying for SEO, before they can get the business on page one of Google? Or, instead, do you carry out an SEO audit at the start, and then make an estimate for how long it will take to get the business on page one of Google?

Unsolved Google My Business and Virtual Offices
Moz support suggests that the community may be able to answer this question, and I would appreciate the help. I own a coworking space that offers virtual office services. Based on my reading of Google's guidelines, A virtual office doesn't qualify for a GMB listing. However, multiple virtual office sites are offering GMB PIN codes if the member signs up for 6 months of service. The claim is that Google will see the address as "stable" after 6 months. The only possible reference I can find for this is 6 months for SEO results. Google expressly states, "virtual offices are not eligible for a business profile." Thanks for any feedback

Moz Local and Apple Maps: How does the listing update work?
Hello, how are apple maps updated via Moz Local? We have a client who changed their business name within the last six months. We noticed one of the few items that has not changed to date within their Moz dashboard is the name of the business on Apple Maps. In the Accuracy grid, the only item not checked within the Apple Maps column is the business name. Does anyone know how this process works within the Moz Local portal? Is there something we can do to advance the name change on our end? Thank you.

How does Moz Local work with business that don't have a physical location? (e.g., handyman, locksmith, etc.)
I'm wondering how Moz Local will handle a business that doesn't want to publicly display an address. A handyman, landscaper, or locksmith might want to do something like this. Is it easily handled or do you have to manually try to "work around" to hide the address on sites that let you? Thanks!
