What do I do if the business listed in Moz Local Business Listing for Yellow Pages is wrong?
-
Hey there!
I have a business listing set up in Moz Local. The system seems to have accurately found the business on most networks, but on Yellow Pages, it has a completely different business listed (my business is a Pilates studio and it has a soccer club listed). What are the steps I can take to fix this? I can claim my listing on Yellow Pages, but after I do that, how does Moz Local associate the two?
Thanks,
--eric

Hi there Eric!
The Yellowpages listing we are associating with your Moz Local listing is simply a best-match search for that site. Often this means we're not seeing a better match in the Yellowpages backend at that time. This can happen for a number of reasons, including the page not being available in the Yellowpages API, or updates not yet taking affect in their backend. We're constantly listening for matches on that site, so your best bet is make sure the YP listing matches your Moz listing exactly. Unfortunately, since we're not directly partnered with YP, there's not much we can do to force the listing to surface from our end. If you know it's correct but we can't pick it up, the only real downside is a slight ding to your listing score.
I hope that clarifies things!

Unsolved Google My Business and Virtual Offices
Moz support suggests that the community may be able to answer this question, and I would appreciate the help. I own a coworking space that offers virtual office services. Based on my reading of Google's guidelines, A virtual office doesn't qualify for a GMB listing. However, multiple virtual office sites are offering GMB PIN codes if the member signs up for 6 months of service. The claim is that Google will see the address as "stable" after 6 months. The only possible reference I can find for this is 6 months for SEO results. Google expressly states, "virtual offices are not eligible for a business profile." Thanks for any feedback

If I "close" a duplicate listing on Factual, Acxiom, SuperPages, Bing or Localeze, what exactly happens?
When I click "close" for a duplicate location with wrong information, does it mark that location as PERMANENTLY CLOSED on the website (factual, acxiom, etc), or does it delete it from that website? Additionally, once that location on that site is marked as permanently closed or deleted, does Moz Local then re-add the correct information to that site? 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.
