Why don't the duplicate listings from the moz/local search show up on the moz/local dashboard
-
When I do a MOZ/Local search on the search listings tab I see all the listings with different information but they don't show up on the moz dashboard for the subscribed listing.

thank you Sam. I'll look more closely at the alternates. I thought I had covered the bases there but I see, like anything, there's going to be a learning curve to get the most out of the service. Thanks again for the response.

Hey Ron,
Finding duplicate listings is always a guessing process - pinging our partners for information and finding the closest potential matches - and because of this, you won't always have all potential duplicates reported. That's where the Alternate function comes into play in the Dashboard. When I reviewed what you had there, the alternates inputted were incomplete. I updated those and more potential duplicates were located.
As far as closing the duplicates, we automate the process for our partners. So if the duplicate is with Superpages, Acxiom, Localeze, Factual, Foursquare, infogroup or Best of the Web, all you need to do is click on the close button and we take care of the rest. The thing to note about this is that it can take up to 6 weeks for a resolution on the duplicates. If the duplicate is with a non-partner, we simply direct you to where you need to go to resolve it with them.
As far as what you're paying for, its the simplified and time saving process of managing your listing information for our partners (the major data aggregators that other local data aggregators pull data from). Instead of manually updating your information in every aggregators site, you just update it in Moz Local and we push the data out.
Hope this helps clear things up for you!

Ok, I don't know what happened the first time I responded but I have a feeling it was because it doesn't want me to post the screenshots. That's rather frustrating. So, anyway, my issue is this: when I do a search for my clients listing through the MOZ/Local check listing tab, I see 6 listings to "choose the closest one". when I go to the dashboard (having signed them up for the moz/local service) and check the duplicates tab i only see one "possible duplicate" and even that duplicate it says I have to delete manually. So, my questions are:[1] why don't I see the other 5 duplicates in order to delete them and [2] I'm wondering at this point what I'm actually paying for with moz's service if I have to go out and manually delete/update the various listings myself. That's what I was doing before signing up. This client is a test of the Moz service to see if it is value added service that we want to recommend to our clients. If you'd like to see the screenshots, I could email them to you.

Second attempt to respond. The first had an error that said "unable to bank" Whatever that means. If this goes through, then I'll retype the rather lengthy response I just tried

Hey there,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. Do you have a specific example with some screenshots you can share. If you're not comfortable sharing that here, just let me know so we can close the thread and then send in a ticket to us in support so we can dig in a bit more for you.

Does Moz Local update/correct business listings?
Moz Local distributes your business listing to the important data providers, but what if your business information is already in their database? Does Moz Local update this info for me, or am I still required to go through the manual process of doing this myself on the data providers website (for example, Yelp or Hotfrog)?

Has anyone found a way to change the Google page linked to a Moz local account AFTER it was purchased?
Before realized that the Moz listing should have the correct GMB account connected to it, a few local listings were purchased. Is there a way to change the GMB page it is pulling data from and sending out to directories? 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: How to Update Yahoo?
Hi - I am using Moz Local and trying to update a Yahoo local listing. The Moz link into Yahoo just leads to the Yahoo (Yext) paid service for multiple citation updates. How do you claim and update a Yahoo local business page? It looks like my page was automatically fed from Yelp to Yahoo, but there is no way to update anything in Yahoo without paying their fee. Help?

Has anyone used Moz local for their clients?
If you already have accounts with some of the local directories can you still use Moz local or is it just for business who have never claimed their business? I'd like to offer this as a service to clients but they will see it's Moz local and just do it themselves. Anyone know if there is a branded version coming soon?

How long till Moz Local takes to populate?
It has taken me some time to make sure all fields were correct in order to upload the CVC file to Moz Local. Because I hope to use this tool for multiple clients, how long should I tell them to anticipate before the listings show up correctly? Is there a $49 charge per business site that I use Moz Local for? Is there a limit to how many sites I can do?
