Should I leave the updating to Moz Local (App) or do it myself?
-
Hello.
I am using the Moz Local service to submit my site to directories. There seems to be a bit of conflicting information/Instructions. Do I just sit back and let Moz continue with providing updates to the sites, or do I have to manually go in to each of the partner sites to make sure that they are all updated correctly?
I seem to remember reading one instruction telling me to let Moz do it, and another saying that I should be doing it.
There are missing categories on some of the sites, which I am being told to make sure are correct, whilst the Moz Local site is saying 'Update in progress'.
I am a bit confused :0)

My Google+ graph is on 100% incomplete, even though my Google+ local business page is up and running and has been verified by Google. How do I kick-start this so that it reflects the real score?

So for the UK Moz Local product, I should just leave Moz to deal with everything in the graph/chart, except Google, Facebook and Yelp, even if there are inconsistencies and missing items?

Hi There,
The Moz Local tool helps to make listing data for a physical business consistent across multiple directories. This tool specifically targets the name, address, phone number, and website for a physical business because consistent data for those things helps sites to rank better in organic searches. The tool also creates listings with our partner directories if a listing for the business doesn't already exist, which helps to make the business more visible. This is all done automatically so it will all be done on this end.
Basically, with Moz Local, it all starts with an existing Google+ Places or Facebook Local page that matches the business name, address, and phone number you are hoping to find in our check listing tool or when you're bulk uploading listing via the CSV upload. If you're not seeing an exact matching business NAP, you may need to make some adjustments on the existing Google+ or Facebook pages to ensure the business NAP matches and to make sure they show up as local business pages.
Once you purchase your listing we publish your listing data to all of our partners for processing—which takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to eight weeks to update.
Here are our partners:
Infogroup
Acxiom
Neustar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web
Citysearch
Insider Pages
BingAnyone outside of our partners you may need to update manually so that may be creating some of the confusion. Hopefully this helps clear everything up but if you have any questions for me please let me know
Have an awesome day and I look forward to speaking with you!

Moz Local bulk upload US only
Moz Local has launched in the UK and I am currently using it to update my citations on one of my sites. I tried to upload a CSV with the rest of my citations but it claims Moz Local is US only and does not accept my Country Codes of UK or not having a State. Has anyone else had a similar problem or knows a work around? Thanks

Moz Local and Telephone Number Change
I've been using Moz Local for a couple of months now and I must say it taught me a thing or two about complexity management! We recently acquired a new phone number for my business and I would like Moz Local assistance to make sure the new number gets populated out there in the wild. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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.
