“XXX Close” and “XXX Cl” showing up as inconsistencies of the same address in Moz Local checker
-
I was using the moz local check listing feature to check one of our clients whos addresses is “XXX Close” When i check listing in moz local i get 2 options of the site :
-
- with address “XXX Close”
-
- with address “XXX Cl”
If i click on the “XXX Close” version it shows me listing where the address is written as “XXX Cl” as being inconsistent and visa versa if i click on the “XXX Cl” version. (this happens as some sites reformat the text, ive submitted them all as “XXX Close”)
Is the something to be concerned about ? eg. could it effect rankings or does google understand that they are the same ?

Thanks @David Lee & @Matt Roney
I agree that the address should be the same across all services, but its not possible when an address has the word "Close" in it as some providers will shorten this in the listing to "Cl" (although you've inputted close when filling out the form) this is just the way they chose to format it. Have a look at any address with the word "Close" in it in the moz local tool.

Hello!
You will want to make sure there is only one version across all services hosting your listing. This will help Google and other search engines return a single result for consistency.
Hope this helps!

Updating Local Listings that Moz Local Won't Update completely?
I use Moz local and have for over a year, so my profiles should all be spot on by now. How can you update some inconsistent info that Moz does't provide or is not updating. I have tried to go in and claim some of the listings that the information isn't filled in properly or the ones that don't have the categories filled out that I know Moz Local won't do, but it is saying it is managed by Moz and won't let me claim it. What can I do.

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.

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?
