Moz Local Time Frame
-
I must have missed it. How long does it take Moz Local to do its thing once the service has been paid?

Hi Min,
Thanks so much for providing your honest feedback about your experience with Moz Local. If you created an account more than 8 weeks ago and aren't seeing completion on any of the 7 supported partners, I recommend you create a support ticket to have someone on the team look into it. -
Hi Yellabird,
MozLocal will get you listed with these 7 'big boys':
Infogroup
Acxiom
Nuestar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web -
Thanks for the info Sam and Miriam.
I want to give my feeback and understanding of Moz Local. I believe Moz Local works and it's helped me in resolving all duplicates and inconsistencies but I can honestly say it's been more then two months and it still has not fully updated with the main players ((waiting) Infogroup, (waiting) Neustar Localeze, (updated) Acxiom, and (updated) Factual).
If anyone is interested in Moz Local then it's a great base to assist in laying the foundation information but keep in mind not all of the information in your CSV file will load evenly across the board. I've had experiences where the map data is understood on one aggregator and ignored on others. I've had the same experience with other data especially photos.
Moz Local is very good at laying at base but don't consider it to be a 100% solution, it does require additional updating on your part.

Thanks for the reply. Typically how many citations get built utilizing this service?

Hi Yellabird,
You'll be able to track the progress of your listings being submitted by us and updated by our partners by logging into your Moz Local account and looking at the row of little circles next to your business information in the dashboard. You can mouse over each circle to see what it means.
I also want to update this thread with new information regarding typical time frames for achieving completion. This is really more like 8 weeks than 4 weeks.
Hope this helps!

If we successfully uploaded a csv and paid, will we be notified when listings have gone live?

Update from the Moz Support Team: Please read our update timeframes guide for avoiding delay.
Hi Min,
Thanks for reaching out!
The time it takes our partners to update the listing really depends on whether or not they have an API. If they do have an API, the listing will be updated pretty much immediately. If they run on a traditional database (Acxiom is one), it can take up to 4 weeks.
Let us know if you have any other questions and hope you have a great day!

Bump...
A simple response will do. Does propagation take roughly a month, a couple weeks, etc. ?

How do I 'sign in' to the Moz Bar?

Links on my website do not get highlighted by Moz bar in Chrome
I've used the Moz bar for many years to quickly figure out if a link is followed or no-followed. I recently used a Wordpress plugin to build lists of subjects and excerpts of pages with appropriate links. An example is at https://www.chicagotraveler.com/chicago-parks/ This is the main Parks section page. Below the map is a set of links and descriptions of each park in this section of the site. The problem is that when I use the Moz bar to look at this page, the links are not highlighted no matter which settings I click on. Followed, No-followed, External or Internal. I've looked at the code and while there is a bit of css nearby the links, they look fairly normal. Does this mean that moz thinks there is something wrong. Do you think google will also ignore these links? Should I scrap the plugin and build and maintain these lists manually?

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

Is MOZ any good to analyze an e-commerce site? How come that a cms page can be seen as duplicate content with a category page?
Hi Guys, I've been using Moz for quite a long time now for 2 of my shops. Now I am in the process of launching the second shop and I just don't understand how is it possible that a cms static page (About US) to be seen as a duplicate content with other 96 pages - including product pages and other totally different pages such as delivery information, category pages, returns and so on. Really MOZ?? Is it me or you?? Your help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Canonical in Moz crawl report
I'm wondering if the moz bot is seeing my rel="canonical" on my pages. There are 2 notices that are bothering me: Overly Dynamic URL Rel Canonical Overly Dynamic URL - This notice is being generated by urls with query strings. On the main page I have the rel="canonical" tag in the header. So every page with the query string has the canonical tag that points to the page that should be indexed. So my question...Why the notice? Isn't this being handled properly with the canonical tag? I know I can use my robots.txt or the tool in Google search console but is it really necessary when I have the canonical on every page? Here is one of the links that has the "Overly Dynamic URL" notice, as you can see the the canonical in the header points to the page without the query string: https://www.vistex.com/services/training/traditional-classroom/registration-form/?values=true&course-title=DMP101 – Data Maintenance Pricing – Business Processes&date=March 14, 2016 Rel Canonical - Every page in my report has this notice "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical". I'm using the rel="canonical" tag on all of my pages by default. Is the report suggesting that I don't do this? Or is it suggesting that I should? Again...why the notice?

Has using Moz got me banned from Google search?
Dear fellow Mozzers, For the last couple of weeks when ever I do a google search I have to enter a captcha code. Now I hardly use google anymore which is annoying ! Then I went onto support.google.com and saw this: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/86640?hl=en&ref_topic=3378866 "Automated traffic includes: Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google" Is Moz alone doing this? Thanks in advance for your response. Ash
