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?

Hi Sam and thanks for the response. I am still unclear whether or not my local business info will be updated in Factual if I purchase Moz Local service. Can you please answer this question?

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So, our tools are still able to submit data to Factual successfully. The problem at the moment is that Factual has confirmed with us that their API is unable to provide reliable accuracy checks to Moz Local. Unfortunately this is a limitation of how their database and public directory are structured, and we don't have alternative means of checking accuracy there. Due to this limitation, Factual accuracy reports are simply unreliable.

Moz information (Rankings, Search Visibility, etc.) not working
Good afternoon! I had a quick concern / question that I wanted to ask the community. One of my campaigns hasn't moved at all since we put them into our account. Everything has stayed static: 0.00% Search Visibility, 0 Keywords Ranking, 0 Moved Up, 0 Moved Down, etc., They have been in Moz for roughly a month now. Does anyone know what might be happening? We are trying to get solid data for our client, but we can't seem to get Moz to index it, perhaps? Let me know what you think!

WIll Moz local submit to all local directories?
I have some variance in my company name (spacing/nospacing) and even my web address, www/non-www so I want to consolidate all of them. On top of that I need to build up my local citations so need to submit to more local directories. Will Moz local take away the job of local directory submission from me? I understand they use like 5 data aggregators, I understand they are the directories of directories, so does that mean these 4 will submit to local directories for me? How many local directories is moz local suppose to get you on? Also I understand it can take a month for your listing to show. In this case, would it not be better to just do it manually? I mean if I submit to yell.com now it's going to be there instantly, on top of that If I don't have the time I can outsource the work to India for very cheap and probably cost less than £84? Thanks

Moz Local and Google+ Listing Issue
Hey Guys, I wonder if anyone can help me. I have already contacted the moz support team but they were no help. I am extremely disappointed with their service so far. Now to verify the listing on Moz Local, they say that you either fix the Google Listing or correct the CSV so it matches the Google listing. - I corrected the CSV to match the Google listing. Since the FAQ states that you can updated the listing at anytime by uploading an we CSV file, I did not see a problem with this. However, After contacting support they told me that the FAQ was incorrect and that you can't just update the CSV, you actually have to also manually update the Google listing. My Google local listing has the wrong information listed. We do not have control of this listing I have been trying to claim it, I have also already contacted Google Local help but it's a lost cause so far. So I am asking, How are you guys claiming your Google listings when the listings are already claimed. Also I have already been submitting changes to Google Map Maker but change keep getting denied. Any help is appreciated.
