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
Old Address
Current Phone</address> -
<address>Doctor Name, DMD Verified
Current Address
Current Phone</address> -
<address>**Periodontist, Doctor Name, DMD, PC **Verified
Current Address (Alternate City Name)
Current Phone</address> -
<address>Doctor Name, DMD
Current Address (Alternate City Name)
Current Phone</address> -
<address>Doctor Name
Old Address
Current Phone</address>
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom!
When you look at a Moz Local listing in the Check Listing tool, you can see a list of duplicate listings that pull up in the Duplicates tab. Here you can request removal of these duplicates, which would most likely include the older locations of your most recent listing.
Can you write into help@moz.com with your specific example so that we can take a look and figure out the best way for you to proceed? Thanks!

How to add alternate addresses in Moz Local duplicate section
As someone that recently moved from an agency to a position in-house, I am appalled at the lack of support and resources for users of Moz Local that are NOT connected to an agency partner. Without a public phone number, a support rep, and nobody manning the chat... how are we supposed to get answers for the service that we paid good money for? I would like to know how to add an alternate address to the duplicate are of our listing account. We have an old address that appears everywhere but is not showing in the duplicate listing report and I'm not sure how to add it. Any help would be appreciated. A public phone number and/or tech support rep would be even better! Bryan Mull

Moz Local | | coolhandluc
I seem to be falling short of the 100% profile completion as the tool can't see I have a page set up for my business in facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mybusiness.
I have even deleted the page in question and tried to recreate it from scratch following the link from the SEO moz local that that says my facebook profile is incomplete but it' still not working. Has anyone experienced the same issue or am i doing something wrong?0 -
Moz Local - Hours
I didn't see this previously posted so regrets if it's been asked. I have a local client that runs a bar/restaurant open until 1 a.m. In setting up hours in the Moz Local tool, the day ends at midnight. What's the best way, using the tool, to display "4 p.m. - 1 a.m"?

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

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.
