Moz Local UK - Is Facebook or Google being used to verify NAP?
-
I am using Moz Local UK on behalf of a customer of mine.
There are two verified listings when I do a search for their business name and postcode.
There are a couple of slight variations in the two verified NAPs; One says Road, the other says Rd. One says their county, the other says their district - or East Sussex & Brighton & Hove.
Both their Facebook and Google+ pages say Road and East Sussex.
Both verified listings are wrong and in contrast to any Facebook or Google+ account.
Not too sure where to go with this and would appreciate any advice :0)

Hi Kurt,
Thanks for writing us and I hope this message finds you well! This question can get a bit tricky because there can often be a few facbook or google places pages with information very close to the desired listing can often create some confusion. I would select the facebook and google places partner is the listings that have been verified to see what we are pulling. Here is a screen capture for reference: http://screencast.com/t/m4t4yt7bti5
Also, this help hub article does a pretty good job of breaking down this process here: https://moz.com/help/guides/local/listing
If you can verify the pages that we are pulling from are not the ones associated with your clients business I would be happy to create a ticket with our engineering staff on your behalf.
Let me know what you find and I would be happy to help you with the rest of the process.
Thanks again for being awesome and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Unsolved can I set up a white-labeled version of Moz local
I am wondering if Moz Pro account users have the option to set up a white-labeled version of the Moz Local Listings Checker? And if so, how? It would be an excellent tool to entice customers to sign up for our services.

Moz local & Rich Data in bi-lingual markets
Hi, any of you have any experience with Moz local in bi-lingual markets? In Quebec, we deal with predominantly French marketplace with large pockets of English speaking communities. However, mostly all of the directories that Moz Local lists to are English. Some offer options to list rich-data in two languages but many don't. Here's the question, have nay of you use both languages when submitting using Moz local (or other similar services) successfully in that the directories that were only English still accepted your "other" languages? Thx.

Moz Local - Multiple Business Customers
Hi,
Moz Local | | rufo
I've looked at Moz Local as it now seems to include UK based submissions.
It looks great. However as I have a number of customers that would benefit from the service I wanted to know if MOZ lets you submit numerous businesses or is it just for the business that you have your account with. I really want to use the service for customers but I'm not sure whether its just a single company with the possibility of multiple addresses or if its multiple businesses. Thanks in advance,

More than one set of hours per day in Moz Local
Is it possible to specify more than one sets of hours in Moz Local? For example, one of my clients is open 9:00-11:00am and 2:00-6:30pm one day a week. Can we include this in the hours field? They also have different hours for some of their staff vs others. I know that part is too complicated! I hope we can at least do two sets of open/close hours for one day, though. Has anyone done this successfully?

How does the "Update Listing" in the InComplete section of Moz Local work?
I know it takes you to the listing site. Do you then have to create an account and claim the listing and then update it there? Does claiming the listing lose the connection with Moz Local? I've been spending a lot of time claiming listings and wondering if that's correct or not. Thanks Dana

Moz Local Validation
I am trying to list my business under Moz Local. I have filled out all of the documentation and had no errors. However I am stuck on Validation. It says "We were unable to validate the following listings on either Google or Facebook Places." I have checked both my google and facebook pages they are up to date with the most current address. Any ideas where the problem may be?
