Moz local "add one of your own photos"
-
I am new to Moz Local, and I am working to update my business listing. I felt lost when there was a section asking for photos, but instead of uploading them, they are a URL. I do not understand how to add these photos. Can someone help?

Hi there - Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
I'm sorry to hear you've had some difficulty adding photos to your listing. The photos the tool can accept have to be hosted somewhere other than Moz, and the URL has to be publicly accessible.
If you try to use a photo from a Facebook or Google Photo album, for example, you might encounter complications because those images are often protected behind your login. It's generally a good sign when a photo URL ends with a image file suffix, such as '.png' or '.jpg'.
For example, you can use a free photo-hosting site, such as this one. You can upload your image here and then get the full URL and then that's the URL you'd post into Moz Local. Here's a short video demonstrating uploading a photo on this site and getting the full URL.
Something else to note is that photo URLs cannot be too long because there is a character limit to each field. Try to make sure the photo URLs you use are publicly accessible and not too long, and you should be good to go!
If there's anything else you need, just let us know by reaching out to help@moz.com

Assuming that you're using Google Chrome browser on a Mac, then:
- Place the mouse over image
- Right click
- Scroll to the Copy Image Address
- Paste this address wherever Moz locals form require it

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.

Validating Google+ on Moz Local
Hello, On Moz Local it is showing up an incorrect google listing for the business I work for. 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,

MOZ Local not recognizing listing in ranking - score should be higher
Hello I have used MOZ local for a client in New York City. Since we set up MOZ Local for his practice MOZ keeps showing there is no Facebook page nor a hot frog listing. However both of these listings exist and are correct. Is there a way to show MOZ that these listings exist so the MOZ Rank can show the proper score/accuracy. He wonders why the score isn't higher but there isn't much I can do at the moment. Thanks!

Moz Local - duplicate descriptions
Hello, I was looking at Moz Local and saw that you are supposed to enter a business "description". However, I'm pretty sure local directories will not want duplicate descriptions - can I leave the description blank and then add varied descriptions directly? Is that a way around this issue? Your thoughts would be welcome.

Moz Local not being verified...is service area the culprit?
I've done Moz local before, and it worked without a hitch. However, this time I'm doing it for a service area business that does not show an address on Google. It's been well over a week and none of the local listings have been updated. Could this be because they require a physical address? Or, do I just need to be patient?

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.

If I have a moz pro account is moz local free?
I just found out that getlisted.org is gone and they want to charge $49/listing. I want to find out if moz local is part of the moz pro account and if I don't have to pay the extra $49/listing.
