Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello!

There is no issue if you are only seeing the 200 and 301 responses in the crawl report as it would be normal. We will return an HTTP response code for every page we crawl.

Hope this helps!

Hey Brian

Thanks for reaching out. To provide more clarity. Facebook and Google URLs cannot be submitted to Moz Local to verify against. Our verification is a query of the business name and zip code directly to those services and they decide which ones to return as the closest match. If you have duplicate Google and Facebook pages, it is best to make sure those are removed prior to publishing a listing through Moz to avoid being validating against the wrong page. It's much easier when there is only one of each available for Google or Facebook to return. Then you only need to update these pages for any changes or updates to the NAP.

If you can send us details of the listing you are referring to, we can take a look at help@moz.com

If you need the listing to verify against a different Facebook or Google URL, please also include those links in the message as well.

Hope this helps!

Hi Nettt!

I apologize for any confusion and can confirm there is no issue on your side. One of our crawlers failed causing some campaigns crawled on Aug 29th attempt to follow the strange /None/ URL you are seeing in your diagnostics. I've submitted a re-crawl for all of your campaigns affected so you should see updated data by this Friday.

Hope this helps!

Campaigns have a 90% tolerance for duplicate content. This includes all the source code on the page and not just the viewable text. So if a URL is at least 90% similar in code to another URL, this warning will appear. Although the pages in question are may appear to be different on the front end, they are actually duplicates based on this percentage (at least the example URLs I checked in your campaigns.)

You can run your own tests using this tool: http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php

We don't know what standard Google uses, but it's safe to say they are a bit more sophisticated than us - so you might be okay in this regard as long as you have a couple hundred words of unique text per page. Google won't say how much duplicate content is too much, so we like to be better safe than sorry.

Hope this helps!

Hello!

The categories we display are close matches to what already exists on various search engines. You would need to reach out to each service to request they add those categories.

Hi Peter

The results won't necessarily come from Google or Facebook, they are aggregated from all the search engines we query in a report. To see which listing has the address, click on the report and go through each link to the various services (direct and indirect) to isolate the source. This could be on YP, Yelp, Superpages, etc.

Hope this helps

The contact-us page re-directs to a different URL (about-us/contact-us) but the original source code for just www.handyrealtysa.com/contact-us matches http://www.handyrealtysa.com/community & http://www.handyrealtysa.com/resources which has no content in the main area.

While a high percentage can be considered duplicates, our crawler will also take into account the main content area to see if anything matches there as well which in the above links are different outside of the navigation and header.

Hi Neil

Our Moz Local tool is largely a search tool so it will depend on Facebook and any other service to return the data we are querying for your business name.

Here are the reasons we outline in our FAQ for not being able to find them on Facebook or Google: https://moz.com/help/guides/local/listing#frequently-asked-questions

Facebook

• Must be a Facebook local business page. An easy way to see if your page is a place/local business is to see if it has the following: About, Address, Hours, Contact and Reviews.

• Make sure that your business’s name, address and phone number are listed exactly as you would like them to appear in your Moz Local listing

• Ensure that the page is publicly accessible (Check with incognito browser to see if the page is available prior to logging into Facebook. Also, possibly give a screenshot of a functionally configured Facebook page’s privacy settings.)

• Make sure to have at least 2 check-ins to verify the physical location of your business. 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.

Google+

• Must be a Google+ local business page. Look for the ‘Review Summary’ section on the page. Some other things to look for: Verified check mark next to the page image, Address, Hours and Reviews. Here's an example of what the page looks like.

• Make sure that your business’s name, address and phone number are listed exactly as you would like them to appear in your Moz Local listing. Note that service-area businesses (SAB) without their full address listed will run into complications with Moz Local since not all of our partners support SAB's.

• Must be a listed as a “verified local business". Remember that check mark we mentioned earlier? That's what you need!

Hope this helps

Hi Scott

I'm afraid campaigns cannot be forced to update and the change you made will not take affect until the next weekly update.

For one-off data you can run for rankings you can use moz.com/researchtools/rank-tracker

For link metrics you can view them directly on moz.com/researchtools/ose

Link metrics only update when a new index is released.

If you have room, you can create a new campaign which will run a rush collection of initial data. You will need to make sure your information is submitted during the setup before it is completed. Any changes made after will be queued up for the next week.

Hope this helps!

HI Pamela

Dmitrii is correct. Our listings are $84 or £84 per location per year. Can you show me a screenshot of where you see $50? If you are finding it from an older articles, we did originally price local at $49 before October of 2014.

Hi Maciej

I'm afraid there isn't a way to tell us where you listings are located. The check listing report is a live search tool, so it will depend on Citysearch to return results to us. We simply query their API for the NAP so there could be an issue with their database, or the listing is not available.

Hello!

You will want to make sure there is only one version across all services hosting your listing. This will help Google and other search engines return a single result for consistency.

Hope this helps!

Hi Paul

After connecting accounts, you will need click on the "Claim" button next to the listings, then choose one of the connected accounts in the list.

Let me know if this helps

This is correct. Also it will be important that the bar is listed completely independent from the hotel name, just as if it was in its own building across the street. The directories we submit do not support containing location identifiers. How it is currently listed on Google as no impact as long as the business name and local phone number is unique.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mark!

You can add more photos (up to 5 max) by editing your listing from the main dashboard and under Additional Information.

For the business name and phone number only, you will need to update it on Google Maps and Facebook (if both exist) and our tool will automatically import it to update within a week after the change.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

Anytime!

This appears to be a result with Facebook's new locations pages. Each location will have a unique ID we would verify with. The original ID is still connected to the app so I have manually changed this to point to the correct one and your listing is now unpaused

Hi Alan!

We submit your listing data to all listing partners at the moment a purchase completes. It can take 8-12 weeks (3 months) for each one to process our submissions.

Hope this helps!
