Updated validation changes
-
I want to submit a listing, but the validation screen indicated Google has an incorrect phone number (which was only listed as an alternate contact number). I've removed the number from the Google My Business page, but the correction is not listed in the Moz Local Validation page.
What should I do to get the updated Google listing to be recognized by the Moz validation process?
Thanks!

Thanks Abe. I'll set a reminder to check it again next Friday and see how it looks then.
Appreciate your response!

Hey there Mike, thanks for reaching out to us! Once you've updated the phone number on your facebook local business and Google places pages (must have a local phone number listed visibly on those pages), we should be able to catch those changes when Google and FB update their public API (usually 5-7 days). Once we get that data back from them, you will be able to make the changes in your listing in Moz Local

Moz Local Update Info
I have been working on a project, this is a local business. Recently we migrate the site, to a new domain name http://www.oldwebsite.com https://www.newwebsite.com I use Moz Local and Moz Pro to track the site Performance. Obviously when we updated the domain name the local score when from 89 to 60. So my question How many time takes to Moz Local to update the info for the main partners? If I claim a listing on a third party website, and import that listing, how many time is going to take to update? I mean there's a lot of local directories out there, and I want to build business profiles with links pointing to my site. What happens to the Mian Partners, Example I have control over the Bing Places Account. What do I need to do, 1 update the info manually or Moz local will synchronize the info Thanks for your help

Validation needed - listing not found on google or facebook, but I'm looking at my google my business listing. Whats going on?
It is telling me "we were unable to validate the following listings with google or facebook", but the information matches my google my business listing exactly (for as much as I can tell) why won't it let me validate? I know I have a google my business listing as I am the manager of it and i synced it to moz local via google my business. So why is it not validating when i know for a fact it is listed in Google? Sharper Impressions Painting Inc 6292 Valleyview Dr, Fishers, IN 46038 (317)423-0230. My other 4 sharper impressions listings were validated (even the kansas city one that is still waiting to be verified on google my business) so I am at a loss as to why this one will not validate. Please advise.

Insider Pages & City Search Update Not Going Through
Hello, I updated our company phone number about 2 months ago and every aggregator updated except Insider Pages and City Search. They both have empty circles and are showing as Inconsistent when opening up the campaign because they have the old phone number. I thought for awhile it would just take some time, but it doesn't seem to be updating at all. Is it possible that it's stuck? A lot of the others changed to half circles, then full. But this one is just sitting as an empty circle. Thanks, Chris

"We were unable to validate the following listings with Google or Facebook"
Hi, I'm trying to submit the Moz Local service and it keeps saying unable to validate the listing even though our Facebook and Google accounts have been provided and match the listing. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to be struggling to find our listing for some reason.

In Moz local my listing percentages have been decreasing the past couple of weeks and are not updating anymore. How can I get these updating again and back to increasing to be complete?
In Moz local my listing percentages have been decreasing the past couple of weeks and are not updating anymore. How can I get these updating again and back to increasing to be complete? This has been happening to almost all of my listings, I have 39 listing and of those only 6 listing percentages increased, 4 stayed the same and the rest decreased significantly over the last 2 weeks.

What if my business name has recently changed. How do I get rid of all the listing information under the old name and have it changed to the new name.

MozLocal Update in Progress?
I just want to clarify something. If I have listing that reads: "update in progress," I don't have to do anything, correct? I'm just supposed to sit back and wait for Mozlocal to push it out? Thanks, Ruben
