Best Practice - Disavow tool for non-canonical domain, 301 Redirect
The Situation:
We submitted to the Disavow tool for a client who (we think) had an algorithmic penalty because of their backlink profile. However, their domain is non-canonical. We only had access to http://clientswebsite.com in Webmaster Tools, so we only submitted the disavow.txt for that domain. Also, we have been recommending (for months - pre disavow) they redirect from http://clientswebsite.com to http://www.clientswebsite.com, but aren't sure how to move forward because of the already submitted disavow for the non-www site.
1.) If we redirect to www. will the submitted disavow transfer or follow the redirect?
2.) If not, can we simply re-submit the disavow for the www. domain before or after we redirect?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

RE: How does Moz Local work with business that don't have a physical location? (e.g., handyman, locksmith, etc.)
Follow up question. So we upload the csv as usual, and then after it is verified by Google and FB we upload the csv again with the business as a Home Business?
Is there any chance the addresses will still be published? I'd hate to upset a client by accidentally publishing their address.
