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:)

Unsolved Moz Local business listing
Hello, I just signed up for Moz local, when will all of the directories promised be populated with the information I filled out in the dashboard? It is my understanding, I just fill out my profile on Moz local and all the business listing will be automatically created and updated for me. or do I need to create the account on for example Manta and Forsquare and then you will update the existing account. Please reply back to me with clear answer and instructions to my question. Thank you!

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?

Can I sync our local listing in Moz with a Google My Busines listing when there are multiple GMB listings?
We working a healthcare facility that has over 30 listings set up in Google My Business, individual listings for each doctor and other healthcare professionals. We are trying to sync with Google My Business, but continue to receive a message about being unable to validate the listing. We've ensured that the information matches in each listing. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any advice on how to get it to sync. I've looked through support documents and not found anything that has helped.

It's been 1 year, why hasn't our Moz Local completion percent improved?
Our listing is about to renew, but the completion percentage has not improved since the first month we started with Moz twelve months ago. I see in Moz there are many duplicate listings for this business. I was under the impression that Moz was handling this as part of the yearly fee; is that correct? If not, what needs to be done to resolve these issues and make sure our listings are complete and accurate?

Hello, So the provided address by Moz is being pulled from Google. It's listing the city twice, even though Google Plus isn't doing this. Meaning there's a few inconsistent listings for the address. Any ideas how to change the address that Moz is using? Thanks 🙂 fDmsIos
