Business not being found via Moz Local on Facebook
-
Hello!
My place of business, Widewail in Burlington, VT, is not being scanned by Moz Local, even though we have an active Facebook business page with our Name, Address, and Phone number listed (URL, too). Is there something I need to check on our end to make sure we are crawlable by yall?
Thank you, Andrea, www.widewail.com

Hi Andrea, thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble!
I took a look at your page and I was unable to find anything immediately on my end that would be preventing us from picking up the page, but there are some factors that can be checked on your end. There can be a few different things inhibiting Moz Local’s ability to pick up a corresponding Facebook page.
There are specific details that need to be present on those listings in order for us to appropriately detect and match them to your Moz Local data. Here is list of the criteria that will enable the tool to detect your listing:
-The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local.
-The primary phone number listed must be a unique local number or a toll-free number.
-The primary page category must be “local business”.
-A minimum of 2 visitor check-ins are required. Not sure what to do here? Head to Facebook’s resources to see how to let people check in and how you can check in.
-The page must be fully accessible to all potential visitors, so any restrictions based on age, location, etc. must be disabled.This can be easily checked by attempting to view the Facebook page in a Chrome incognito browser while not logged into a Facebook account; if you can view the page normally in these conditions, the accessibility should be in good shape!
If you are still having issues after this, it may be best to write-in to us at help@moz.com

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!

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

Moz Local for Physicians
I have a Moz Local campaign set up for a physicians clinic. MOZ has informed me that several duplicate listings for the office have been found. Some are listed using an old business name, some are listed using an old business name w/ physicians no longer practicing at the clinic. Most all have inconsistent data. The question is: Do I "ignore" or "close" these duplicate listings? Also, should I wait to clean up inconsistent data until MOZ has successfully "submitted and updated" the listings in the directories they submit to? When I search my local listing with Moz, why does it state that MOZ is unable to contact YP, Hotfrog, and Best of the Web? I will appreciate any guidance here:-)

Moz Local, location selector not picking up location in Zimbabwe

MOZ Local not recognizing listing in ranking - score should be higher
Hello I have used MOZ local for a client in New York City. Since we set up MOZ Local for his practice MOZ keeps showing there is no Facebook page nor a hot frog listing. However both of these listings exist and are correct. Is there a way to show MOZ that these listings exist so the MOZ Rank can show the proper score/accuracy. He wonders why the score isn't higher but there isn't much I can do at the moment. Thanks!

How to enter hours in Moz Local for multiple hour sets per day
How would you properly enter hours into the Moz Local spreadsheet for a business that sometimes is closed for lunch, therefore they're open for a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon. I've attempted below at what I thought it could be: 2:9:00:AM:12:00:PM:3:00PM:6:00PM,3:7:30:AM:10:30:AM:3:00PM:6:00PM,4:9:00:AM:12:00:PM:3:00PM:6:00PM,5:7:30:AM:10:30:AM:3:00PM:6:00PM,6:3:00PM:6:00PM

If I have a moz pro account is moz local free?
I just found out that getlisted.org is gone and they want to charge $49/listing. I want to find out if moz local is part of the moz pro account and if I don't have to pay the extra $49/listing.
