Why are accuracy scores in the dashboard different than in the individual listing?
-
How come when I search for my location in the Moz Local dashboard, it shows me the Score and the Accuracy, but then when I click into the individual location and the accuracy score is much lower? Which one is the source of truth, and is the best to report to clients? I don't want to report on inflated numbers.

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
I can completely understand where your confusion comes from around these different figures you're seeing! Hopefully I can help explain the discrepancies here.
The score within your listing report is representative of what our system observes at this exact moment. So, it is a snapshot in time of how your listing distribution looks. This means that if, for example, one of our partners had an API outage at the time which caused them to be unable to report your listing's status to us, then that listing would appear as blank within your listing report and be reflected as such in the snapshot score.
However, issues like the one that I described above are completely temporary and do not impact your actual listings on those sites. So, we also include a "golden" score on your dashboard which is calculated with the best status we've observed from each aggregator over a longer timeframe. This score is intended to give you a more normalized impression of your listing score which is not impacted by unimportant volatilities.
I would say that both are useful in their own context, but you're absolutely right that it's not especially clear. As usual, you can always contact our team with any questions about the tools by emailing help@moz.com, but please do let me know if I can help further.
Thanks so much!

Moz Local showing wrong Acxiom Listing
Hey there -- The Acxiom listing that is showing up for a client in Moz Local isn't the clients business. It's showing a different law office. The only overlapping data is the city, state and zip code. For reference, the client has claimed their Acxiom business listing. Anything I can do to fix this? I can't even click on the listing from Moz.

Difference in dashboard accuracy vs listing accuracy
On the dashboard of our listings, the accuracy is different than when you click on the listing. For example, one listing says 93% when you look on the dashboard, but when I click on it is says "88%, get it to 99%". Why is there a difference?

Facebook listing not found
Kinda new to Moz Local. Up until about 5 days ago, I was getting 96-97% reported by Moz Local - then suddenly that dropped to 84% and Moz Local reported that my Facebook listing wasn't found. I'd seen face book come and go, sometimes Moz Local would say FB couldn't be reached but usually it would show up later that day and I'd get 96% again. But now its been about 5 days and FB keeps showing up as no listing found. I completely retyped in my FB url and verified everything but still Moz Local won't update.
