Moz Local - Does it do the work for you?
-
Good Morning Everyone,
I have a quick question regarding Moz Local ... I understand what it does and the purpose and how great it is...
My question is this: If you sign up for Moz local, does it actually send all of the proper and necessary info to each of the aggregators or sites that it lists or does it simply tell me what information i need to send them and i have to provide this info to each one myself?
For example, does it say something like "Inconsistent info found on Yelp, please do this to correct" .... OR, does it actually make the corrections and send to yelp for me?
Thanks

Hi Prime!
In short, Moz Local tracks a total of 15 platforms. 10 of these we directly update and manage for you. 5 of them you will need to manage manually.
The 10 we directly update for you are:
Acxiom
Best of the Web
Bing
Citysearch
Factual
Foursquare
Infogroup
Insiderpages
Localeze
Superpages
The other 5 we track but don't push to are:
Google
Facebook
YP
Yelp
Hotfrog
In order to sign up for Moz Local, you will first need to have either a verified Google+ Local page or Facebook Place as these are the 2 sources we draw data from and validate against.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your input.
Anyone else who pays for the Moz Local service have any feedback or answer to the original question?
Thanks

Hey Prime 85
Im in the UK and have used the free version of the tool without signing up for full moz local
It listed my company as 32% complete and it claimed it could get me to 96%
I worked through the listings 1 by 1 using the information the free version provides and currently have it up to 79%
The free version does exactly what you said, by following the tabs it tell you where inconsistent data is found and which profiles are incomplete and where duplicate listings are found.This approach involves much more work but is great for a company like my employer who wont spend on the features. I still know exactly what I need to do to climb the extra few percent but it is proving hard as some of them dont allow edits unless you pay for listings etc.
I understand if you pay for moz local, you basically sync up all your listing accounts with your moz local account and it goes through each automatically updating the information to be the same. The only work you have to do it providing is access and permission to edit those account.
It basically removes the hours of leg work i have put in to acheive around 80% and gives you a 95% + completion in super fast time and makes it easy to maintain and update these listings without having to do each one individually.
Hopefully someone who pays for it can give you a better idea of how to full paid product behaves, But this is how i understand it.
Hope it helps

Server blocking crawl bot due to DOS protection and MOZ Help team not responding
First of all has anyone else not received a response from the help team, ive sent 4 emails the oldest one is a month old, and one of our most used features on moz on demand crawl to find broken links doesnt work and its really frustrating to not get a response, when we're paying so much a month for a feature that doesnt work. Ok rant over now onto the actual issue, on our crawls we're just getting 429 errors because our server has a DOS protection and is blocking MOZ's robot, im sure it will be as easy as whitelisting the robots IP, but i cant get a response from MOZ with the IP. Cheers, Fergus

Moz Crawler failing with https redirect?
Is there a way to get the Moz Crawl Test to work with HTTPS? I just got back this error: 902 : Network errors prevented crawler from contacting server for page. Site is set up with a standard 301 to redirect http to https - or at least I certainly hope it is! Rex Swain's HTTP Header Checker took shows a standard 301. Anyone else experiencing this error? btw - this is both a specific question and an opportunity for open discussion... Thanks!

Can Moz change this on the Subscriptions dashboard?
Hey Moz, Bit of a random bug bear of mine, each month I log in to download the latest invoice receipt to hand over to accounts for processing etc. After I click the billing and subscriptions link from the profile drop down menu, I am presented with the subscriptions page. The payment history panel placed located on the right all ways shows my first 3 invoices. As this is a snippet in time, would it not be more beneficial from a UX perspective to show the most recent 3 invoices. That way I can get the info I require that tiny bit quicker rather than be presented with invoices that are 3 years old. I know it is a tiny thing but wondered i it could be accommodated. 🙂 Many thanks Tim ypjDGDk

Moz Weekly Keyword Ranking Received seems inaccurate - Australia
Hi, We have so many website being tracked in Google AU and we see too much ranking change ( both positive and negative ) but all inaccurate from MOZ. Our Manual Testing result matched correctly with Google where as moz results inaccurate. Is there anything happening . Our Website: http://www.gardenshed.com.au/ E.g : Garden shed - Moz Reported Rank #4 - Actual Rank : 11 Garden sheds - Moz Reported Rank #7 - Actual Rank : 23 similarly for all other projects .
