Local business check
-
I've just done a local business listing check and it's come back with an inconsistency on the address. I can't understand where the inconsistency it as Google haven't verified the address yet. I've tried to rectify it but can't seem to correct it. Any suggestions please?

Thanks for getting back to me. This is the link.
I will also e mail moz as requested.
I realise that replicating the exact information is important and this is why I'm trying to make sure that there are no inconsistencies.
Thanks again,
Jennifer

shogajen, consistency with your local business listings is extremely important, as the Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) data should be the same on all listings. One of the ways that the search engines use as a ranking factor is that consistency: if they see another address, phone number, or company name, they might not give you "credit" for that listing or citation.
When it comes to the local business listing check, they don't only check the Google listing, other listings are checked. Also, even though your business isn't verified yet, Google will most likely have your company NAP data from another source.
In order to correct any listings, you'll need to verify the listing first, and then you should be able to log in and correct it. If it's a duplicate listing or an incorrect listing (an additional listing), then there are ways to flag listings.
The other option is to work with a service such as Moz Local, Yext, Advice Local (our service) that have direct access to update the listings at Google and other sites.

Hi there!
Could you send us an email to help@moz.com with the name, address, and phone number of your business so that we can take a look? If you have the direct Moz Local link, that would help as well. Thanks!

Help!!! GMB Service-Area Business
Hello fello SEO’s! I’ve got some GMB questions that have been wracking my brain for the last couple weeks and need some ideas. Tl;dr - How should we properly set up service-area GMBs? Create GMBs for every county we serve? Additional context and questions below: I have an enterprise level client who operates in the flooring industry. One thing that separates them from the pack is they don’t have physical locations (service area business) despite serving mostly the entire continental US. Currently, I am working to cleanup the GMB profiles because they have been neglected. My idea/what I think is the norm, was to create GMB profiles for the major markets they served. Within those GMB’s we would target major counties served within that area aka the service areas. However, I was met with some push back on this. Someone mentioned that we should instead be creating individual GMB profiles FOR EACH county that was served. I cautioned against this mainly because of the amount of work it work it would take to create/maintain/drive reviews for/etc if we had a GMB set up for almost every county in the US. Now that we got that boring context out of the way, my question to you is this. 1. How should we properly set up service-area GMBs? Create GMBs for every county we serve? Or Create GMB’s for main markets only and list the counties served in the GMB profile backend? 2. For each GMB profile create, a matching city-page will also be created. What information should be listed on the city page? Obvs, NAP, map, reviews, etc. I’m talking about copy. Is one of our keywords in “laminate flooring installation Los Angeles” should that keyword be optimized in the Los Angeles City page? Or should the LA city page be a hub, and have multiple surrounding pages optimized around keywords. For example, just having a page dedicated to the keyword “laminate flooring installation Los Angeles” Helpful answers appreciated!

Moz Local Review Management/Customer Feedback help, tutorials, anything? MOZ do you even like your own tools???
I am STUNNED and frustrated that a great tool like Moz Local has the great feature like Review Management/Customer Feedback and have ALMOST ZERO content, tutorials, FAQs, or easily found content that quickly explains some important details. You don't have ANYTHING findable to help me explain to employers or fellow new SEOs how to implement YOUR OWN TOOL. Why? WHY??? • I have multiple locations signed up for complete features - want to share individual location with individual property managers - how? • Exports show "recommendation" as "true" or "false" which I understand - but where in your dashboard is this explained? • I want to customize my property review report/export - I don't need a lot of those columns which are duplicate info or unknown to the property managers. Possible? Seriously - should not be this difficult to track down info/direction/shareable info for YOUR OWN TOOL!
