Resubmitting to Moz Local
-
Hello,
We use Moz Local to manage local listings for our clients. What are the best practices for resubmitting once there are changes made to the data? Should I resubmit all data even if there aren't any changes to most of the locations? Would there be a time frame that I should have for this ie: Once a quarter, Once a year?
Thanks!

Thanks Lisa!
To elaborate, NAP changes (name, address, phone, website) must be made through our verification partners, which are Google and Facebook. These are sources we use to verify the quality of the location data submitted to Moz Local. You can see which verification partner a business location is using right in the dashboard as seen here. Once the change is made on Google or Facebook, Moz Local will automatically detect the change and resubmit the corrected information to our partners.
Non-NAP changes (social links, images, etc) can be submitted through the Moz Local dashboard.
If you're not making any changes, then there's no need to resubmit since all data is re-submitted to our partners every 1-2 weeks, automatically. You can verify this by looking at the accuracy metrics in your dashboard.
To be extra thorough, if you're making a change to your NAP, you can add the old business information to the "alternates" feature in the duplicates section. Though we will push the corrected listing information to all of our partners, this can be a way to be extra sure your old NAP information isn't popping up as a duplicate elsewhere online.
Hope this helps!

It’s confusing.
You have to go to the Moz Local Overview page and click Start Using Moz Local.
Then click on your published listing and “edit my listing” which pops up next to your current score.
Your business listing data will be displayed so you can edit whatever has changed.
As Lisa suggests, update it whenever there has been a change to your business local data and resubmit. Moz will push the updates out to it's network and they'll pick it up from there. There's no reason to wait.

Hi there Cathleen!
Moz Local actually automatically pushes out your listing information to our directory partners on a continual basis! That means if you make any changes to your listing, the tool takes care of all resubmissions on your behalf.
I hope that helps!

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

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.

I seem to be falling short of the 100% profile completion as the tool can't see I have a page set up for my business in facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mybusiness.
I have even deleted the page in question and tried to recreate it from scratch following the link from the SEO moz local that that says my facebook profile is incomplete but it' still not working. Has anyone experienced the same issue or am i doing something wrong?0 -

Moz Local bulk upload US only
Moz Local has launched in the UK and I am currently using it to update my citations on one of my sites. I tried to upload a CSV with the rest of my citations but it claims Moz Local is US only and does not accept my Country Codes of UK or not having a State. Has anyone else had a similar problem or knows a work around? Thanks

Why can't Moz Local pull up my Bing local listing?
One of my listings on Moz Local has a Bing Local listing, but Moz Local can't locate it and suggests that I create one. The NAP is consistent. Is this something that occasionally occurs?
