Validation needed - listing not found on google or facebook, but I'm looking at my google my business listing. Whats going on?
-
It is telling me "we were unable to validate the following listings with google or facebook", but the information matches my google my business listing exactly (for as much as I can tell) why won't it let me validate? I know I have a google my business listing as I am the manager of it and i synced it to moz local via google my business. So why is it not validating when i know for a fact it is listed in Google?
Sharper Impressions Painting Inc 6292 Valleyview Dr, Fishers, IN 46038 (317)423-0230.
My other 4 sharper impressions listings were validated (even the kansas city one that is still waiting to be verified on google my business) so I am at a loss as to why this one will not validate.
Please advise.

- Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem, and my Facebook page has been live for a couple years. The information on the fb page is complete, and it matches the info on everything else. My Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/GleamingGlass/

Sorry for the trouble! A verified Facebook or Google listing must meet certain requirements to be used as a validation source. You can find those requirements here: https://moz.com/help/guides/local/listing#frequently-asked-questions
If your Google listing meets all those requirements, then a failure to validate usually means Google is simply not making the location available in their Google Places database. In that event, there's unfortunately not much we can do from our end to force it to surface. You would need to reach out to Google to inquire about it.
If you're still not quite sure why we can't pick up your Google listing, we can help investigate if you send us a link to the page at help@moz.com. Thanks!

Moz Listing Paused
One of my Moz listings is paused because "Listing not found on Google or Facebook." My Google account is linked to Moz and the listing is showing in Google results and on the back end of Google My Business but it is not showing in the Import option. You can see the listing does exist and is live on Google: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Woodstock+Furniture+%26+Mattress+Outlet/@34.088617,-84.584448,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x8ea1bc3d2994cbf4?hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiq5ZXejtPYAhXHyoMKHYJGDmsQ_BIIqAEwCw Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

Multiple Locations + Incomplete "Facebook" Listing
Hi! I am in charge of multiple listings for the same business because they have many offices throughout the US. Upon submitting these different locations on Moz Local, I have now run into an issue where all of the listings are not registering their correct Facebook page. On Facebook I have created separate pages for each location (using their location manager tool), but I am unsure on how to connect this to Moz. I have tried submitting the URL of the Facebook page in the "Advanced" tab in the "edit" area, but this does not seem to solve the problem. Any idea on why this is happening, and if there is an easy fix? Thanks everyone!

MozBar tool doesn't highlight follow/no follow, what does that mean?
We use the MozBar tool to easily check what links are follow or no-follow. However, when we entered in this URL: http://www.e-ir.info/2017/01/17/security-and-the-brexit-effect/ and we clicked on "edit" > "follow" within the MozBar tool in Google Chrome, if you scroll down to "Featured image courtesy of www.americanadvisorsgroup.com ", you'll noticed that the link doesn't show whether it's a follow or not. Can someone clarify if MozBar sees links with no indication of follow/no follow as a follow? We look at the URL itself and it doesn't have any indication of no follow. Would love to get someone's feedback on this.

How to connect the right GMB listing?
I have a Moz Local listing that has found the correct FB page but it isn't connecting/syncing with a GMB listing. I have given it a week but still nothing on GMB. Will the Google+ page that I link to in Advanced > Social Media URLs be linked with the Moz listing? What is the best practice to tell the Moz Local listing what GMB listing to sync up with?

One of your listings managed by Moz Local appears to no longer have data on either Google or Facebook
Hello, Here is my business info: Bright Vessel 18487 SE Federal Hwy #5

Jupiter, FL 33469 561.935.6418 https://www.brightvessel.com/contact-2/ "One of your listings managed by Moz Local appears to no longer have data on either Google or Facebook. As a result we're pausing further updates. However, information distributed so far will be unaffected for the duration of your subscription." I checked both my accounts and saw the only discrepancy was the suite # was missing on Facebook. I added but I am not sure what else I need to do. Can someone help? Thanks, Judd1 -
MOZ Local not recognizing listing in ranking - score should be higher
Hello I have used MOZ local for a client in New York City. Since we set up MOZ Local for his practice MOZ keeps showing there is no Facebook page nor a hot frog listing. However both of these listings exist and are correct. Is there a way to show MOZ that these listings exist so the MOZ Rank can show the proper score/accuracy. He wonders why the score isn't higher but there isn't much I can do at the moment. Thanks!

How can I add the county (I'm in the UK) to my Facebook page
I am trying to setup a Moz Local campaign but I am unable to change the county (I am in the UK). In the Moz report, my 'state' is listed as 'Cnwll', but it should be 'Cornwall'. My Google + page has the correct information and is verified. My Facebook page has the correct information, apart from the fact that I can't add add a county. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could go from here? Thanks.

Does the "Unmanaged" number go up immediately after submission?
I just submitted a CSV file with the information about 3 businesses to Moz Local, but I can't tell if it went through properly. The page gave me a message saying "0 are ready to publish. 0 need validation", and didn't list any errors in my listings. However, the number next to "Unmanaged" is still a 0. I know from looking at some of the other questions on here that from the time that Moz sends the information out, it can take a few weeks for the listings to propagate. But I'm not sure whether or not it's supposed to take some amount of time for uploaded listings to show up on here as Unmanaged listings. Should I try resubmitting, or does it just take a few minutes/hours for unmanaged listings to show up?
