Updated validation changes
-
I want to submit a listing, but the validation screen indicated Google has an incorrect phone number (which was only listed as an alternate contact number). I've removed the number from the Google My Business page, but the correction is not listed in the Moz Local Validation page.
What should I do to get the updated Google listing to be recognized by the Moz validation process?
Thanks!

Thanks Abe. I'll set a reminder to check it again next Friday and see how it looks then.
Appreciate your response!

Hey there Mike, thanks for reaching out to us! Once you've updated the phone number on your facebook local business and Google places pages (must have a local phone number listed visibly on those pages), we should be able to catch those changes when Google and FB update their public API (usually 5-7 days). Once we get that data back from them, you will be able to make the changes in your listing in Moz Local

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.

In my actual Google account there is only one Google listing and it is correct but this correct version doesn't appear on Moz Local. I have followed the criteria to meet your google listing so I am confused in what to do. Many thanks,

Updating Local Listings that Moz Local Won't Update completely?
I use Moz local and have for over a year, so my profiles should all be spot on by now. How can you update some inconsistent info that Moz does't provide or is not updating. I have tried to go in and claim some of the listings that the information isn't filled in properly or the ones that don't have the categories filled out that I know Moz Local won't do, but it is saying it is managed by Moz and won't let me claim it. What can I do.

Moz Local: How to Update Yahoo?
Hi - I am using Moz Local and trying to update a Yahoo local listing. The Moz link into Yahoo just leads to the Yahoo (Yext) paid service for multiple citation updates. How do you claim and update a Yahoo local business page? It looks like my page was automatically fed from Yelp to Yahoo, but there is no way to update anything in Yahoo without paying their fee. Help?

Client had address change in Google
They successfully changed their Google+ local address. I have their listing in the Moz Local product. How should I handle the address change? Will it find it on its own? I noticed with another client it noticed a name change that occurred and automatically updated the listing. Does it do this with address change? Thanks!

In Moz local my listing percentages have been decreasing the past couple of weeks and are not updating anymore. How can I get these updating again and back to increasing to be complete? This has been happening to almost all of my listings, I have 39 listing and of those only 6 listing percentages increased, 4 stayed the same and the rest decreased significantly over the last 2 weeks.
