Trying to connect my moz local to my facebook page - says it isn't found even though it is. I don't want to create another listing for this.
Cheers

Hi there!
Unfortunately, from my experience I've found that if you purchase a listing that does not have the correct GMB profile AND Facebook page selected, it's impossible to get Moz to recognize the correct page.
Location details in Moz Local will be pushed to Facebook, but not the other way around—so if the listing you purchased is pulling the wrong page from the start, it seems like it's stuck that way.
You could try emailing help@moz.com to see if there is a way for them to manually switch this out for you.

Hi there - Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.
There can be a few different things inhibiting Moz Local's ability to pick up a corresponding Facebook page. There are a few specific details that need to be present on those listings in order for us to appropriately detect and match them to your Moz Local data (read more here). Here is list of the criteria for those sources that will enable us to validate your listing:
- The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local.
- The primary phone number listed must be a unique local number or a toll-free number.
- The primary page category must be “local business”.
- A minimum of 2 visitor check-ins are required. Not sure what to do here? Head to Facebook's resources to see how to let people check in and how you can check in.
- The page must be fully accessible to all potential visitors, so any restrictions based on age, location, etc. must be disabled. This can be easily checked by attempting to view the Facebook page in a Chrome incognito browser while not logged into a Facebook account; if you can view the page normally in these conditions, the accessibility should be in good shape!
- Here's a little video guide that might help! https://seomoz.wistia.com/medias/8o0ny7cfhc
If you're still encountering issues after taking a look at those factors, please send an email to help@moz.com with a link to your Facebook page and we'll be happy to assist further for you!
Thank you,
-Kristina

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!

Changing LLC to Inc. and seeing Facebook
I'm having 2 possibly related issues with a Moz Local listing. The first is that the company the listing is for was an LLC when we put the listing up, but have since changed a C corporation, so the name needs to change from ________ LLC to _________, Inc. I've updated the name on their validated Google+ local business listing a few weeks ago, and Moz Local sees that listing, but the name on Moz Local hasn't updated yet. The second issue is that it's not verifying through Facebook, and the Facebook page that Moz Local CAN see is the wrong one. I edited the listing and manually added the URL to the correct Facebook page a few weeks ago, but that still hasn't gone through either. One last thing, if it makes any difference, is that the company's website does have a link directly to the proper Facebook page. Hopefully there's a quick and/or easy way to resolve this. 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.

Facebook listing not found
Kinda new to Moz Local. Up until about 5 days ago, I was getting 96-97% reported by Moz Local - then suddenly that dropped to 84% and Moz Local reported that my Facebook listing wasn't found. I'd seen face book come and go, sometimes Moz Local would say FB couldn't be reached but usually it would show up later that day and I'd get 96% again. But now its been about 5 days and FB keeps showing up as no listing found. I completely retyped in my FB url and verified everything but still Moz Local won't update.

Can Moz local correct listings with incorrect addresses/phone numbers that have no FB or G+ listing?
We just started using Moz Local for a law office client. The csv has the client's correct information. However, our client has listings out there with a completely incorrect address/city and alternate phone number. There wouldn't be a valid FB or G+ listing for this incorrect address to use for validation. Is there any way Moz Local can find these and correct them by matching name or website alone? The incorrect ones are not showing up in the list of duplicates.
