How can I connect Moz Local to my client's Facebook page?
-
I have set up a client on Moz Local. They are called Help in Hearing. The Moz Local "Incomplete" listing says "No listing found on Facebook." There is a facebook page for the client, it is this one https://www.facebook.com/HelpInHearing. How do i get this to be visible to Moz Local?

Thanks for the reply Tawney, I will send an email to help@ because there are some issues to do with Facebook, eg when editing the address for the business on the Facebook page, the city name does not come up, so I can't get the Facebook NAP details to exactly match the Moz Local address (the latter is correct).
regards, Maureen

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble! There can be a few different things inhibiting Moz Local's ability to pick up a corresponding Facebook page. There are a few specific details that need to be present on those listings in order for us to appropriately detect and match them to your Moz Local data (read more here). Here is list of the criteria for those sources that will enable us to validate your listing:
- The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local.
- The primary phone number listed must be a unique local number or a toll-free number.
- The primary page category must be “local business”.
- A minimum of 2 visitor check-ins are required. Not sure what to do here? Head to Facebook's resources to see how to let people check in and how you can check in.
- The page must be fully accessible to all potential visitors, so any restrictions based on age, location, etc. must be disabled. This can be easily checked by attempting to view the Facebook page in a Chrome incognito browser while not logged into a Facebook account; if you can view the page normally in these conditions, the accessibility should be in good shape!
Here's a little video guide that might help! https://seomoz.wistia.com/medias/8o0ny7cfhc
If you're still encountering issues after taking a look at those factors, then we can certainly help you investigate; we would just need you to write in to help@moz.com and send the name, address and phone number of the Moz Local listing, as well as the Facebook page for that listing.

Unsolved How can I cancel my Local subscription?
I signed up for Moz Local with an annual subscription and I don't have a store front, so most of it is not relevant to me.

Effect of Moz Local
Hi I'm pretty new to all of this so please be gentle! I've been subscribed to Moz Local for a little over a year and my ratings seem to be stuck at an overall score of 82% and an accuracy score of 87% and I just can't seem to get into the Top 3 local searches with competitors from further away outranking me. Moz Local has been consistently showing Factual, Bing, Hotfrog, Thomson Local & Central Index all showing no address entered. I've been in and put this in myself but no change? Right now my score is showing as 59% with a number incomplete and other unable to be contacted. I have found that, even though the address is entered in a consistent way, that it gets interpreted differently, sometimes leaving out the County, sometimes, the village. I've started going through the "Ultimate Local SEO Audit" and have completed Phase 1 on Google My Business. Pretty much everything looks in order there and the only real change was associating a domain email address with the ownership rather than the old gmail one. I've started to go through Phase 2 and haven't seen anything new there yet. What am I missing? Or, are the Moz Local scores fairly respectable? How can I get real consistency in NAP and why does it seem to take so long for Moz Local to make any changes ..... if/ when they do? And, if everything is as you would expect, why am I failing to get in the top 3 when I have more and better review than anyone within 30 - 40 miles?

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.

Odd address is not getting reported properly in Moz Local UK
I have a client address (1-8 Russel Square) but Moz local picks it up as either 18 (when comparing duplicates) or drops the number altogether (in the actual listing info in Moz Local). How can I get this corrected?

Can Moz local correct listings with incorrect addresses/phone numbers that have no FB or G+ listing?
We just started using Moz Local for a law office client. The csv has the client's correct information. However, our client has listings out there with a completely incorrect address/city and alternate phone number. There wouldn't be a valid FB or G+ listing for this incorrect address to use for validation. Is there any way Moz Local can find these and correct them by matching name or website alone? The incorrect ones are not showing up in the list of duplicates.
