Using Moz Local for Two Businesses / Two Websites but One Building
-
I'd like to use Moz Local for two of my clients who share a space. The first one is an independent tattoo artist, who operates inside a larger tattoo shop. Both the tattoo shop and this individual artist have websites, and they'd both like me to optimize for local search. Will this be a problem using Moz Local to add both businesses? I will buy two different Moz Local subscriptions for them, but I don't want one business to override the other since they're inside the same address.
Thanks!

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So, two listings with very similar NAP information (Name, Address, Phone number) won't cause any problems with the distribution functions of Moz Local, but could pose difficulties for the reporting functions of the tool. Moz Local uses those three NAP elements to identify each individual location, so overlapping data can easily confuse its computer brain.
Listing irregularities will be ironed out over time, as the updated data is accepted and propagated across our partners' servers. Over time, the individual/separate listings will get up to speed like any other location.
In terms of Listing Score, Inconsistencies, and Duplicates, any overlapping NAP data can make for some funny results. You may see Moz Local confuse Location A's listings for Location B's - especially if Location A has been managed for a longer period of time and has updated data with our partners, but Location B is newer and not yet fully established. As the separate locations' listings are successfully created and updated with our partners, these reporting mistakes will diminish.
All of the above said, we always recommend that both listings within one address have their own unique, identifying phone numbers.
If you have any follow up questions, just let me know!

You can manage as many business listing as you want but of course, all depends on your subscription plan. So need to keep in mind that you will pay per location/business and per features.
In your case, you want to add 2 business or listing you will have to choose which plan suits your needs
- Essential--------> 99.00
- Professional----> 179.00
- Premium--------> 249.00
If you have experience on SEO and you are familiar with this kind of tool, go for the Essential Plan. If you think that you will need some guide then the Professional Plan is for you. The Premium plan is for agencies and developers the main difference is its offer API integration and based on your comments this not the case
You can check and compare all the plans available

Using Moz Local to update Factual data
As you may know, for a couple of months now, Factual has been having trouble ingesting the data into their network. This is apparent to other Trusted Data Contributors of Factual. Is the Moz Local team experiencing similar problems getting business listings added or updated, or can I be assured my local business info will be updated in Factual if I purchase Moz Local service?

How to add alternate addresses in Moz Local duplicate section
As someone that recently moved from an agency to a position in-house, I am appalled at the lack of support and resources for users of Moz Local that are NOT connected to an agency partner. Without a public phone number, a support rep, and nobody manning the chat... how are we supposed to get answers for the service that we paid good money for? I would like to know how to add an alternate address to the duplicate are of our listing account. We have an old address that appears everywhere but is not showing in the duplicate listing report and I'm not sure how to add it. Any help would be appreciated. A public phone number and/or tech support rep would be even better! Bryan Mull

MOZ Local not picking up citations
Hello - We like using the MOZ dashboard as an indicator of SEO health but have run into an instance where we have two citations with the correct NAP that are not being picked up in the MOZ report. The City Search and InsiderPages listings were build through YEXT and have been up for two months. Is there a way to report a match to MOZ?

Should I leave the updating to Moz Local (App) or do it myself?
Hello. I am using the Moz Local service to submit my site to directories. There seems to be a bit of conflicting information/Instructions. Do I just sit back and let Moz continue with providing updates to the sites, or do I have to manually go in to each of the partner sites to make sure that they are all updated correctly? I seem to remember reading one instruction telling me to let Moz do it, and another saying that I should be doing it. There are missing categories on some of the sites, which I am being told to make sure are correct, whilst the Moz Local site is saying 'Update in progress'. I am a bit confused :0)

Can I add all three branch locations of a small credit union to one Moz local listing, and if not, is it worth it to pay for three different local listings with MOZ?
Adding Moz local listing for a small credit union with only three branches. I am doing this to update their information across the web, but do not want to have to create three separate spread sheets and / or pay for three separate listings. Is there a way to add all three branches to one listing? If not, is it worth the expense and does it help or hurt if you add three separate listings with the same name and phone number but three different addresses. We also do not want to set up more than one Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc, accounts.

Linking Google Business Page to Moz Local?
I'm working on updating an existing Moz Local account, and one of the listings says that there is "No listing found on Google." However, there is a Google Business page for this listing, it just isn't linked to my account. And the only option Moz gives me is to "create listing" on Google, which takes me to the page to create a Google business listing. So my question is this: how do I link an existing Google Business page to a Moz local listing that is already mostly set up?
