MOZ Local Issue - Having Problem submitting multiple offices in the same city
-
Good Morning
We help medical practices with their online marketing. One of our clients has 5 locations in the DC area. This practice has two locations in both Chevy Chase, MD and Washington DC. I am trying to submit all 5 locations to MOZ Local but I am running into issues with MOZ recognizing the other location's information in the same city.
My issue arises when I try to submit the second location in the same city. MOZ keeps pulling the google and facebook information for the other practice location in the same city and giving the error that I have to update google and facebook to have the submission go through.
MOZ-is there someone that can help me with adding these two locations that won't go through?! Thanks!
Best Regards
Joel

Hi Joel. It looks like James has answered your question pretty well, I'd only add that you'll want to make sure you're logged in to the corresponding Facebook and Google + accounts for the location that you're trying to set up in Moz Local. So if you're trying to do all five at the same time, you'd have five browsers running with five separate logins while also logged into Moz Local. That way when you get to the Facebook or Google verification link it will do so properly.
Cheers!

Hey Joel - thanks for writing in about Moz Local - have you verified that there is a unique local business page for each of the location. With Moz Local we verify the business information through Local Business pages verified on Facebook and/or Google +. If each location has it's own page we will use those to verify each purchase. If you don't want to disclose any information for privacy reasons feel free to write in to help@moz.com

Moz Local Category Research Tool. I can't seem to find the URL?
Did this go away? Or am I blind (very possible). Can someone provide the URL.

Insider Pages and Citysearch listing issues
On our dashboard, I noticed that our Insider Pages listing (the one with the Insider Pages symbol) is linking to the listing for Citysearch. It is also the same link used for our Citysearch listing. Why is that? I managed to find our Insider Pages listing through a search on Google, but why isn't our Insider Pages listing in the dashboard going to that instead? Secondly, our Citysearch listing is showing a "PowerListings Synced" below the description, which indicates that it is managed by Yext. However, to our knowledge, we have not used Yext for that location. Could that be an issue? If we make an update to our listing, will it still be pushed to Citysearch? Thanks!

Moz Local Address Issues
I've been having some issues with addresses recently that I've been submitting to Moz Local and I'd like to see if other people are having similar issues and how they are resolving them... So Moz local requires you to have any Suite or Floor info on line 2 and I am having a hard time making this work with Google. It seems like they always add it to line 1 and when I call to get it fix it is like pulling teeth to get it right. There has been a couple times i've had to fight to tell them its not formatted right. All this trouble has really made me think about if it is worth it using the service if this is going to be an issue.

Moz Local - City being named twice
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

What do I do if Moz Local is pulling the wrong business citation?
Hi everyone, I have several business listings that I manage on Moz Local, and a lot of them have similar names. I'm running into an issue where Moz Local is pulling a citation (Ex. Google+, YP, Superpages) for the wrong business, and it is affecting my listing score. Has anyone else ever run into this issue? What did you do about it? Thanks in advance for your help!

How does Moz Local respond when confronted with a YEXT verified listing?
From what I can tell, Yext overrides Moz Local. So if you're paying Moz Local for listing service & someone else comes along and purchase Yext for that same business's listing, the directories incorporated with Yext WILL NOT listen to Moz Local. They show the Yext listing information. Can I get this confirmed by someone at Moz? Point being... if in Moz Local vs Yext, Moz Local always loses to Yext, there's not a lot of point in having Moz Local -- Especially since Yahoo now requires Yext to update Yahoo Local Map listings.

More than one set of hours per day in Moz Local
Is it possible to specify more than one sets of hours in Moz Local? For example, one of my clients is open 9:00-11:00am and 2:00-6:30pm one day a week. Can we include this in the hours field? They also have different hours for some of their staff vs others. I know that part is too complicated! I hope we can at least do two sets of open/close hours for one day, though. Has anyone done this successfully?

Is the Google Local Descriptor compatible with MOZ Local?
If I'm understanding Google correctly, we can use a single descriptor as part of a business name, and to do so, you use the following format in the business name field: Business Name - Descriptor Is this correct? If so, is it not compatible with MOZ Local? I used the format above, and MOZ seems to see the descriptor as part of the business name, and won't let me verify. Is the best approach to using a descriptor to get verified first, then add it? Or will that mess other things up?
