Can I sync our local listing in Moz with a Google My Busines listing when there are multiple GMB listings?
-
We working a healthcare facility that has over 30 listings set up in Google My Business, individual listings for each doctor and other healthcare professionals. We are trying to sync with Google My Business, but continue to receive a message about being unable to validate the listing. We've ensured that the information matches in each listing. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any advice on how to get it to sync. I've looked through support documents and not found anything that has helped.

Hi there! Sorry for the trouble.
Moz Local's validation system still uses Google Places, not GMB directly. Each location must be verified in Google Places (most easily checked on Google Maps) for Moz Local validate the NAP details.
GMB locations are not public-facing, they have details that only you as the owner/manager can see. So until any new changes are verified on Google Maps, they aren't detectable by Moz Local's validation system.
If you're still not sure why your location is not detectable as a validation source, check out the requirements as listed on this page: https://moz.com/help/guides/local/listing#frequently-asked-questions
If you're still unsure, feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com and we can take a look!

Moz local "add one of your own photos"
I am new to Moz Local, and I am working to update my business listing. I felt lost when there was a section asking for photos, but instead of uploading them, they are a URL. I do not understand how to add these photos. Can someone help?

Business NAP utter confusion in moz local citation tracker
Hi everybody I have been asked to help a small dog walking business with their citations. Their GMB profile seems all in order but when i do a quick listing verification using the moz local citation tracker not only the postcode listed under their name is different but it shows inconsistency in the business name too in many directories and shows up a different business all together. This other business is using a different post code. This is a really weird one and I can't quite understand what is hapenning. The business name is Pawesome! Dog Walking Service and the postcode is SW17 7QL I would be very grateful if anyone could help Many thanks

Difference between 'City' and 'Province' on Moz Local business listing page
Sorry, I'm stuck on this one. I'm trying to clean up my business address on Moz Local as I have a duplicated version that ranks better than my verified listing (which is Fulham Nannies). I'm wondering if the problem arises from my entry on Moz Local's business listing for which I've entered 'London' in both the 'City' and 'Location' fields.. I'm not entirely sure that's correct, or what I should in fact enter in the 'province' field other than what I've got at the moment, I.e. London. Should I put something like 'South West London' for province and keep the city entry as London? I'd really appreciate any guidance anyone might have, thanks in advance.

It's been 1 year, why hasn't our Moz Local completion percent improved?
Our listing is about to renew, but the completion percentage has not improved since the first month we started with Moz twelve months ago. I see in Moz there are many duplicate listings for this business. I was under the impression that Moz was handling this as part of the yearly fee; is that correct? If not, what needs to be done to resolve these issues and make sure our listings are complete and accurate?

Neustarlocaleze.biz - This Listing is already managed by someone else?
We just signed up for Moz Local. After things were setup I get the message "This Listing is already managed by someone else?" on the localeze bullet. We have claimed the free listing on localeze previously. How can I let Moz Local take this over to push all the data changes to localeze since localeze is also a pay to make additional changes.

Does Moz track mobile queries?
Sorry if this has been asked before (searched to no avail), and it's probably a dumb question... but if you're still reading... 🙂 I'd like to determine which pages of my site show up on MOBILE searches (i.e. user is on an iPhone). I know that Moz shows searches "from" a certain location, but my understanding (which may be wrong!) is that the SERP on a mobile device is sometimes different from a desktop search. Ultimately, I'm trying to decide whether to create a whole different layout for my home page ONLY for mobile devices, and if virtually everyone finding my site on a mobile phone would see that page first. I figured if Moz tracked "mobile SERP rankings", then I could simply see if any pages besides the home page are ranking for my targeted terms. Any thoughts or clarifications greatly appreciated! 🙂 ~ Scott

MOZ Local
Is MOZ Local considered a direct competitor to Yext? My company currently uses Yext for its local directory listings, but it is very expensive. Is MOZ Local a superior substitute?
