“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!

Difference between 'City' and 'Province' on Moz Local business listing page
Sorry, I'm stuck on this one. I'm trying to clean up my business address on Moz Local as I have a duplicated version that ranks better than my verified listing (which is Fulham Nannies). I'm wondering if the problem arises from my entry on Moz Local's business listing for which I've entered 'London' in both the 'City' and 'Location' fields.. I'm not entirely sure that's correct, or what I should in fact enter in the 'province' field other than what I've got at the moment, I.e. London. Should I put something like 'South West London' for province and keep the city entry as London? I'd really appreciate any guidance anyone might have, thanks in advance.

Moz Local free with subscription?
I am part of an agency managing multiple clients through a Moz Pro Medium subscription. I am interested in using Moz Local for some of my clients, and I was under the understanding that with a subscription Moz Local could be used for free. Can someone please let me know if this is correct and if so how to take advantage of it?

Client had address change in Google
They successfully changed their Google+ local address. I have their listing in the Moz Local product. How should I handle the address change? Will it find it on its own? I noticed with another client it noticed a name change that occurred and automatically updated the listing. Does it do this with address change? Thanks!
