      The Moz Site crawl has pulled this issue on our site:

      Error Code 901: DNS Errors Prevented Crawler from Resolving Hostname

      We have double checked to ensure that the site is not blocking any crawls but the error is still happening. This is preventing Moz from acknowledging the other errors that we have fixed. How do I prevent/fix this error message?

      Thanks!

            Hi there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.

            These crawl issues tend to be pretty site-specific, so without knowing what site got the 901 error it's tough to troubleshoot. When you've got specific crawl questions like this one, feel free to write in to help@moz.com with your questions and we'll see what we can do to help you out!

            I'd recommend writing in with all the details of your campaign and the issue you're seeing - we'll take care of ya! 🙂

              Solved Apple Maps isn't syncing

              apple maps

              Hi there! I have been using Mozlocal for a local client for a few months now. They recently opened, so I began the syncing process a few weeks ago. Apple Maps is reporting as synced when I view it in my Listings, but when viewing the actual listing on Apple Maps, the hours are very wrong. It is an important time of year for this business, and appearing as not open for 6 days a week is not great. Is there anything else I can do through Mozlocal to get this listing fully synced?

              moz local marketing tool white-lable

              I am wondering if Moz Pro account users have the option to set up a white-labeled version of the Moz Local Listings Checker? And if so, how? It would be an excellent tool to entice customers to sign up for our services.

              Unsolved How long do you tell your SEO customers to wait before they start to see actual results from their SEO?

              local seo

              So, this is probably one of the most challenging questions for SEO agencies likes ours to answer. That is how long does it take for a business to see an increase in sales, because of the business investing in organic or local SEO. It ultimately comes down to how competitive the business sector is, we do know that. We are just wondering what various SEO companies tell their clients. Is it for example, they have to wait a minimum of six months of paying for SEO, before they can get the business on page one of Google? Or, instead, do you carry out an SEO audit at the start, and then make an estimate for how long it will take to get the business on page one of Google?

              Unsolved Google My Business and Virtual Offices

              gmblisting

              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
