Local Moz - documentation for Acxiom
-
Hello there,
Moz Local shows that I am not listed with Acxiom, so I went directly to the Acxiom website to add my business listing. During that process, Acxiom asks for business documentation to be uploaded (DBA, license, Federal ID, etc.). If I were using Local Moz to send the data out to the data aggregators, how does it handle this portion (uploading business license, etc. as required)?
I'm hoping to use Moz Local for my website clients but need to understand this bit first.
Thanks for your help!

Hi again Sean,
Just FYI: this is what I got back from Axciom...so you are saying that this won't happen when using Moz Local?
Thank you for your interest in MyBusinessListingManager.
Your request to add your business listing cannot be approved at this time. The Proof of Ownership document you provided is not one of the official documents listed below or does not include the same business name or address as on your registration request. Please upload, or email an official document, mailed to your place of business, with the same business name and address as on your registration request to mblm@acxiom.com.
If we do not receive one of the following proof of ownership documents within 14 days, your request will be denied and you will need to submit a new request via www.mybusinesslistingmanager.com
- 1. Federal Tax License Letter *submit the letter that includes your ID#, name, address and/or phone number of business
- 2. State, County, or City Business License or Sales Tax License
- 3. Doing Business As License
- 4. Fictitious Name Registration
Please note: The business name and address on your document must match the information on your registration. We do not accept documents from internet websites, images of company logos, W-9 forms, copies of business cards, or Word documents as proof of ownership.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I can now offer this service to clients with confidence, based on your response. It was a bit disconcerting to have Axciom need such documentation for a listing but am glad Moz has the necessary in place to negate that part of the process.
Cheers!

Hi There,
Thanks for writing us and although I cannot speak to the exact agreement Moz has with Axciom, I can say that a business license is not required to upload a listing.
Moz uses Google and Facebook places to validates a business location, so no documentation is needed. For an amazing run down of Moz Local and provide some additional clarification on the service I would check out our amazing help hub at: http://moz.com/help/guides/local.
Hopefully this helps and if you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to ask and I would be happy to help.
I wish you a magical day and look forward to hearing from you soon!

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?

Moz Local says Google + is 100% incomplete
Hi all. I've been trying to make improvements on my Local rankings as well as optimizing my website. When using Moz Local a lot of great information comes up showing me what's incomplete, what's duplicated, etc. It's very helpful. But for the life of me I don't know why my Google Plus page is coming up as 100% incomplete. I'm providing three links that possible will help. Any suggestions would be welcome! This is a personal Google plus page. https://plus.google.com/u/0/116619295168881896831/posts This is my Google + business page. https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/117236096564332197060/+WhitneyMediaProductionsSanford/posts?_ga=1.96663199.1853286446.1466307563 This is my verified Google My Business page. https://business.google.com/b/117236096564332197060/dashboard/l/04609945530443583653 Thank you, Scott

Closing Old Locations with Moz Local
I'm sure the answer is pretty simple, but how are we supposed to report an old location as closed in Moz Local? I'd like to mark an old address as closed in all of the major data providers. Of course, I can claim the new location, but I do I need to claim the old location and then somehow mark it closed? When I do a search with Moz, it gives me five results for a doctor who has a single location now (I'm not posting the actual name because I just don't want this forum to appear for searches for the doctor): <address>Dr. Doctor Name, DMD Verified

Moz Local bulk upload US only
Moz Local has launched in the UK and I am currently using it to update my citations on one of my sites. I tried to upload a CSV with the rest of my citations but it claims Moz Local is US only and does not accept my Country Codes of UK or not having a State. Has anyone else had a similar problem or knows a work around? Thanks

Moz local is telling me that I don't have a Google+ listing when I actually do. What is the problem?
I have about 7 of my clients listings currently in Moz Local. It's showing that we don't have a Google+ listing when we actually do. Everything I have in Google My Business (NAP) matches what I have in Moz Local. It's a service based business and Google has recommended that we hide the address since consumers don't actually visit my clients location. Could that be the issue? If so, how do we take care of this?

Why is MOZ Local not finding any of my citations?
I ran a new client through the Moz Local Check My Listing and got this: It looks like your business wasn't found on any major search engines. My client's website and Google Plus page have been live for over a month and he is listed in almost 90 business directories; all verified, live listings. Both his Yelp and Home Advisor profiles show well in search as does his website in organic so I know Google is picking up on the business. Checked all the simple stuff like correct spelling, url, etc. Any thoughts? Is this just a matter of time? If so, how long will it take MOZ to find a new listing usually? I see there is a MOZ index update scheduled for the 28th. Should I run it again after that? Regards, Dino

Uploading CSV for MOZ Local: The CSV you uploaded contains no listings.
I keep getting this error message. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or what. Basically, I have filled in all the information, and not edited the parts where I have no information to populate. Gives the error: The CSV you uploaded contains no listings. Thanks.
