How to fix my local buisness listing
-
Ive checked with the Moz Local and put my company name in. theres two listings showing up
Ones verified but is in a slightly wrong format - it says Street Name, Unit Number, Town, Post Code
The other ones not verified but correct - its unit number, street name town, post code
Will I need to edit the verified one to make it the correct format like it is on companies house and with Royal Mail? Or can I use the none verified version?

This is whats confused me. It says verified comes from facebook or google.
Ive checked and both facebook and google have the correct version - unit number, street name town, post code
However the address on the verified MOZ local says the wrong version Street Name, Unit Number, Town, Post Code which Ive never used

Hi Paul,
It's normal for Moz Local to pull in multiple listings when you do a lookup of you business, because we're trying to help you surface the best listing to verify your Moz Local listing with. If you're purchasing Moz Local, we'd recommend that you first correct the listing that we've marked as verified. Then, give it 24 hours and look up your business again to see if we've found your corrected version. Then, move forward with purchasing. It's very important to start out on the right foot, if you can, as the verified listing's data is the data we'll be pushing out to our partner network.
Once you've purchased the listing, you can use the Duplicates function to add incorrect variants of your name, address and phone number to help us surface wrong versions that exist. Then, if they are listings on our direct network partners, just use the "close" function to have Moz get them closed for you. Or, if they are on a non-partner platform, the tool will have at least identified them for you and link to these incorrect listings so that you can seek manual closure.
Hope this helps!

Best Practice When Selling One Location of Company with Multiple Branches - Local Search
I have a client with a small business with 4 different branches. Currently, we have a main landing page for the company, plus distinct landing pages for each branch with maps, territories, distinct phone numbers, etc., for each branch. The company recently sold one of the branches to a competitor as they do not want to service that area anymore. They have asked me what they should do now. Obviously, we are going to remove the location page for that branch, but we also need to transfer the phone number to the other company for use as part of the sale. What tasks should I look into for separating the branch from the rest of the company while still maintaining best practice for the rest of the site/company? Thank you for your help and suggestions.

SEO best practices for store locator and local pages - 301 or not?
I have been struggling to answer this on my own and now throwing up for the Moz community for a life line. Our company has several location across 6 states. We have local pages that we are working to improve with better content. We also have a store locator that will list the stores but the pages are not the same. See below example. I can't help but feel like I am splitting juice and traffic that should be combined to one page for each location. Any ideas or advice on how we can best combine/funnel the traffic to one optimized page? Here is an example: State local page - http://www.jakesfireworks.com/michigan/ Locator page for state - http://www.jakesfireworks.com/locator/?state=MI City local page - http://www.jakesfireworks.com/michigan/grand_rapids City Locator page - http://www.jakesfireworks.com/locator/?id=183&state=MI

How much local traffic should I expect
I handle mostly small business and provide SEO optimization services and content creation. My question is about local search. what is a reasonable amount of local search traffic for small service companies. For instance I handle an electric and hvac company with an estimated population of 100,000 people within a ten mile radius. With approx 20 companies who provide competition. Should I expect 10 hits a day 20, a hundred? How do I quantify results on a local level as to not make expectations too high. The good metrics I have is the amount of prospects who have found my clients through the web and purchased services. That percentage is high. But Is there room to improve if my client received 15 hits a day?
