Moz Local not updating after G+ and FB are updated
-
Per the FAQ, we updated the client G+ and Facebook address information, but Moz Local still lists the incorrect address information. Any ideas on a time frame when the MOZ listing will update? FAQ's state an hour, but that is not happening in this case.

Thanks! We ended up having to get Google involved to manually validate the listings.

I keep following that process and still get the following error: For security, we require your location to exactly match a verified listing on Google or Facebook. To proceed, please update the listings in your CSV or select a verified match for each listing below.
Both Facebook and G+ have the correct physical address on my admin view of G+ (which shows verified) and Facebook, so I am uncertain why this keeps happening.

Good Morning!
Thanks so much for asking about this:) Any time you need to edit your name, address, phone number or website in Moz Local, there is a set of specific steps that need to be taken in a specific order to push your changes through. Let me share these steps with you here:
First, edit the desired data on your Google+ Local or Facebook Place Page
About an hour later, please log into your Moz Local account click the little cloud icon on the page to download the .CSV file our system has auto-generated for your business.
Edit the desired field in the .CSV, making sure that you hand-type in whatever edit you need to make. We recommend using either a recent version of Excel or Google’s free Google Sheets to edit your .CSV. If you have multiple businesses in the .CSV, you can delete the other rows so that we are only editing the business of your choice.
Save the .CSV and then return to the Moz Local dashboard and upload the .CSV via the big yellow button.
We will then re-validate the listing against Google or Facebook and you should see your edit succeed.
I sincerely hope these steps will be helpful! Please let me know if you have any further questions!
If you run into any trouble and need to have a Help Team member take a one-on-one look at your account, please do contact us through the Help Hub:)

How do I use Moz Local to delete citations for an incorrect business location?
For some reason when you search our business name in a specific English county (or town within that country) one of the results in the local pack is the home address and phone number for a private individual who is nothing to do with us. He is now being bombarded with calls from people who need our services, which is less than ideal for both parties. I have no idea how this happened, but by using the person's postcode and Moz Local I was able to find a list of citations which have his address and phone number listed with our business name, which I assume is causing Google to rank his house for our business in local search . I was wondering how can I use Moz Local to delete these citations so that Google stops providing this person's address when you search for our business. Thanks for your help

Insider Pages, Citysearch, and Bing Not Updating
Hello, I have a campaign for "Teasdale Fenton" that we started back in May, 2015 (5 months ago) and Insider Pages, Citysearch, and Bing have been sitting as "Pending" with no estimated update date I believe since we launched the campaign. Can you guys look into it and let me know if I did anything wrong or if there is something holding it back from updating? Thanks, Chris

Anyone else having trouble uploading CSV file to Moz Local?
I have filled out the listings template provided by Moz Local for creating listings. I uploaded a week or so ago and when I went to check listings today, none were created. So I tried to upload the CSV file again, and it is giving me an error saying "Make sure you are uploading a CSV (Comma Delimited) file and that you include the column titles. If you are using Microsoft Excel, please export your spreadsheet as a CSV file first.". I have saved it as a CSV in both Excel and Google sheets, but neither file seems to be recognized by Moz Local as a CSV. Is this happening because of the previously uploaded file, or did it never get uploaded in the first place and I just missed the error message the first time around? Anyone else having problems uploading their CSV and found a way to get it accepted? Is there any other way to create a CSV from an excel file other than Excel or Google Sheets? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
