MOZ Local not recognizing listing in ranking - score should be higher
-
Hello
I have used MOZ local for a client in New York City. Since we set up MOZ Local for his practice MOZ keeps showing there is no Facebook page nor a hot frog listing. However both of these listings exist and are correct. Is there a way to show MOZ that these listings exist so the MOZ Rank can show the proper score/accuracy. He wonders why the score isn't higher but there isn't much I can do at the moment. Thanks!

Hi rosemontmedia
The check listing tool is a search tool, so it will rely on the response Facebook and Hotfrog provides when we are querying for the business information. Each time you generate a listing report, this is a live query. If no results are found, this means the data is not available in their respective API's. Hotfrog doesn't have the best API as many listings fail to appear in our searches. For Facebook, you will want to make sure their listing is setup as a local business page and has a couple of check-ins in order for the information to be available.
Hope this helps!

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.

“keyword city” nationally vs “keyword” local in city
I'm tracking keyword “keyword city” nationally and “keyword” locally in city. Ranking for these show different position. Considering that we’re working with local businesses or businesses that service only one city and it’s surrounding areas, what would be the best way to set up campaign? Looking for suggestions. Thank you.

Moz Local users: Specs for Images?
I'm working on the the CSV for Moz Local and I'm wondering about Image and Logo specs. For the five images that are allowed to be uploaded, are there any size specs (width, height and file size) that assures that my images will be likely to be accepted throughout the various Moz Local partners? Same goes for logo specs. Thanks,

How long does it take for the MOZ Local to update?
Hello, I use MOZ local to keep track of major citations for 30+ clients. Sometimes, it happens that I would be working on a new company, which does not have any significant number of active citations. And MOZ local does not seem to update very often, when I have already created citations for that particular new company. Can anyone update me about, what is the normal timeline for the MOZ Local to update new citations? I am using this URL to keep track of my company citation ranks: moz.com/local/search. Thank you in advance.

Moz Local - Needed for good measure?
Hello, Before Moz Local was released, I had worked with a 3rd party vendor and established citations throughout several, several domains. There may had been some directories, such as the databases, that we were unsuccessful at because we're 70 locations and they wanted to charge high fees for bulk. We also were unsuccessful with Yahoo, Yellow Pages and Citysearch (for various reasons that are too complex to get into here). 1. Would it be beneficial to also use Moz Local for good measure and to cover some, if not all, domains we had difficulties with? 2. Would that be duplicating our efforts and/or cause duplicate listings? 3. Can we cherry-pick which domains we want? Thanks.

Moz Local
Upon trying to Validate my Moz Local this error keeps appearing "We were unable to validate the following listings on either Google or Facebook Places." I have checked both of these accounts and all of the listings are accurate and up to date? Is there something that I am missing? Thank You !
