I am new to MOZ
-
I just purchased MOZ local for a client on a brand new location. I had already submitted the NAP to the big four google, yahoo, bing, yelp.
I purchased the 99/year basic plan and now I am a bit confused. Will MOZ submit to the local directories in the network or out of the network that does not have a listing in place (Business New Address) so no listings exist besides the ones I mentioned. Also, it says it will send it to all four aggregators, is this true and how can I verify? Can someone explain what I should expect? YIKES, I hope this is not a dumb question for those MOZer gurus :).
If it doesn't what did I just buy? A way to monitor Google? Please assist. I need to get NAP data out there for local directories for a customer. Should I have done this a different way?
Thanks in advance,

Hi there Kevin!
Sorry for any confusion. In simplest terms, the Moz Local service automatically pushed out listing data to our partner sites, who then accept, process, and update the information on their sites. Here is the full list of our partners for US listings:
Infogroup
Acxiom
Neustar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web
Citysearch
CityGrid
Insiderpages
Hotfrog
Bing
Apple
HERE
TomTom
NavMii
Uber
WazeIf you have already claimed a listing on any of those sites, we will not be able to override that claim to update the data. You can monitor your accuracy and progress in the Moz Local dashboard. We automatically begin sending out your data to all our partners when you purchase a listing subscription from us. If you do not have a listing on a given site, one will be created for you. Generally we expect updates to complete in 8-12 weeks.
I hope that helps! Feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com if you have further questions.

How do I use Moz Local to delete citations for an incorrect business location?
For some reason when you search our business name in a specific English county (or town within that country) one of the results in the local pack is the home address and phone number for a private individual who is nothing to do with us. He is now being bombarded with calls from people who need our services, which is less than ideal for both parties. I have no idea how this happened, but by using the person's postcode and Moz Local I was able to find a list of citations which have his address and phone number listed with our business name, which I assume is causing Google to rank his house for our business in local search . I was wondering how can I use Moz Local to delete these citations so that Google stops providing this person's address when you search for our business. Thanks for your help

MOZ Local Issue - Having Problem submitting multiple offices in the same city
Good Morning We help medical practices with their online marketing. One of our clients has 5 locations in the DC area. This practice has two locations in both Chevy Chase, MD and Washington DC. I am trying to submit all 5 locations to MOZ Local but I am running into issues with MOZ recognizing the other location's information in the same city. My issue arises when I try to submit the second location in the same city. MOZ keeps pulling the google and facebook information for the other practice location in the same city and giving the error that I have to update google and facebook to have the submission go through. MOZ-is there someone that can help me with adding these two locations that won't go through?! Thanks! Best Regards Joel

I can't add a new listing to Moz Local
Hi, Ive been trying to add new listings for two clients to Moz Local for four days now. They each have their own login, so I don't believe it is an account issue. I have rebooted, tried different browsers, cleared cache, and even tried a different computer, all to no avail. Here's what happens... I login and click on Add Listing. I search for the business, select the best result and then I just get a bouncing map pin. It never goes any further.

Local Moz - documentation for Acxiom
Hello there, Moz Local shows that I am not listed with Acxiom, so I went directly to the Acxiom website to add my business listing. During that process, Acxiom asks for business documentation to be uploaded (DBA, license, Federal ID, etc.). If I were using Local Moz to send the data out to the data aggregators, how does it handle this portion (uploading business license, etc. as required)? I'm hoping to use Moz Local for my website clients but need to understand this bit first. Thanks for your help!

What do I do if Moz Local is pulling the wrong business citation?
Hi everyone, I have several business listings that I manage on Moz Local, and a lot of them have similar names. I'm running into an issue where Moz Local is pulling a citation (Ex. Google+, YP, Superpages) for the wrong business, and it is affecting my listing score. Has anyone else ever run into this issue? What did you do about it? Thanks in advance for your help!
