Changing Phone Number for all of my Listings
-
Local Listings - We need to change the phone number. We made a new Facebook but the old one keeps syncing so I need to know how long before we can have the new phone number showing up on all of our other listings

Hi Ilan Bloemhof,
By using Moz Local you can push out updates to all online directories with the new phone number. The important thing to remember about using Moz Local is that the information needs to match what it shown on your Google My Business profile, so the first step would be going into Google+ and making sure anything that has changed is updated. Once this is done, it will take about a week or so for Moz to register the changes, but once it does you can start pushing this information out to the online directories.
Hope this helps!

Hi there! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
Every Moz Local listing is powered by a verified Google My Business page or Facebook Places page, and we pull the business's name, address and phone number (NAP) directly from those pages. If you're interested in changing one of the elements of your listing's NAP, you would simply need to make the respective changes to your Google or Facebook page.
Once you've made the changes, Moz Local should automatically reflect those changes within a week or so and will begin distributing the new information out to our direct partners.
Hope that helps - if you have any further questions it may make more sense to contact our team directly by emailing help@moz.com so we can look at your specific listings if needed.
Thank you.

Unsolved Moz Local business listing
Hello, I just signed up for Moz local, when will all of the directories promised be populated with the information I filled out in the dashboard? It is my understanding, I just fill out my profile on Moz local and all the business listing will be automatically created and updated for me. or do I need to create the account on for example Manta and Forsquare and then you will update the existing account. Please reply back to me with clear answer and instructions to my question. Thank you!

Moz Local and Apple Maps: How does the listing update work?
Hello, how are apple maps updated via Moz Local? We have a client who changed their business name within the last six months. We noticed one of the few items that has not changed to date within their Moz dashboard is the name of the business on Apple Maps. In the Accuracy grid, the only item not checked within the Apple Maps column is the business name. Does anyone know how this process works within the Moz Local portal? Is there something we can do to advance the name change on our end? Thank you.

Moz Local: Does cancelling change information in business listings?
I was reading the FAQ on Moz Local and would like clarification about this question/answer: What happens to my listings on the sites in your network if I cancel my Moz Local subscription? Moz Local will simply report to the sites in our network that the listing is no longer under management by one of our customers. In this event, Acxiom and Neustar Localeze will revert your listings to their status prior to your Moz Local subscription. In some cases, your other listings will lose enhanced content like website URL, secondary category information, logos, and other images. Moz Local will not actively remove your listing from our network of sites. You will always have the ability to reclaim your listings manually on each site if you decide to cancel your Moz Local subscription. So let's say my business moved to another location. Then I signed up for a Moz Local subscription, updated my business address, and then did not renew. After I cancel the Moz Local subscription, will my business address in the Acxiom and Localeze listings revert to what it was before I changed it through Moz Local? Please let me know. Thanks!

Insider Pages and Citysearch listing issues
On our dashboard, I noticed that our Insider Pages listing (the one with the Insider Pages symbol) is linking to the listing for Citysearch. It is also the same link used for our Citysearch listing. Why is that? I managed to find our Insider Pages listing through a search on Google, but why isn't our Insider Pages listing in the dashboard going to that instead? Secondly, our Citysearch listing is showing a "PowerListings Synced" below the description, which indicates that it is managed by Yext. However, to our knowledge, we have not used Yext for that location. Could that be an issue? If we make an update to our listing, will it still be pushed to Citysearch? Thanks!

I just submitted a Local listing. How long does it take to propagate?
I'm a newbie for Local but I want to learn it well. How soon will the data be propagated so I can see if there are inconsistencies or duplicates. Thanks!

Moz Local Listing Score
Hi there, I purchased MozLocal for my firm on February 27th, about 7 and a half weeks ago to the day. While I've been waiting for the results to populate and the program to do it's work, I've been manually updating all the other listings with photos and categories based off the "missing info" Moz Local provides. Throughout the last almost 8 weeks, my listing score has increased a total of 1%. At this point, should I expect to see any further results from this tool? I'm still seeing "Update in progress", yet it seems enough time has passed for at least something to happen. After two months of waiting, I'm wondering if I would have been better off updating these listings myself. Does anyone have any idea when/if I should be seeing any results?

How do I correct my axiom.com directory listing?
Does anyone know how I can correct my axiom.com directory listing? I do pay for Moz Local Listings, however, this one refused to updater per my CVS file used by Moz. Is there a way to do so without paying axiom as well? The provided website URL fails to display and the city is incorrect on axiom.com's directory. It is correct in the Moz file submitted.
