Can Moz local correct listings with incorrect addresses/phone numbers that have no FB or G+ listing?
-
We just started using Moz Local for a law office client. The csv has the client's correct information. However, our client has listings out there with a completely incorrect address/city and alternate phone number. There wouldn't be a valid FB or G+ listing for this incorrect address to use for validation. Is there any way Moz Local can find these and correct them by matching name or website alone? The incorrect ones are not showing up in the list of duplicates.

Hi DragonSearch,
Oops! I'm sorry if I didn't explain that well. You would not create a Google+ Local or Facebook Local business page with an incorrect address. You'd want to create one with a correct address, that identically matches what you enter in the Moz Local CSV. This way, we can validate your information and then, once validation is complete, we can push you data out to our 7 supported partners, which are:
Infogroup
Acxiom
Nuestar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your response. So, I guess there's no way for Moz to fix listings out there with invalid addresses. Since we certainly wouldn't want to create G+ or FB listings with an incorrect address and Moz can't find the business unless the address matches the G+ or FB listings, then we can't claim and fix the incorrect listings through Moz's service.

Hi Dragonsearch,
Unfortunately, no. Moz Local has to be able to validate the business info you provide us with the business info we find either on the Google+ Local or Facebook local business page. If the pages can't be found or the name, address, phone and website on them don't identically match what you've entered in the Moz Local dashboard, we can't validate. You would need to access the Google+ Local or Facebook local business page, edit the data to match, see that your edits go live and then try to validate through our system.
Hope this clarifies how this works!

How do I correct 301 and 200 crawler issues?
Our website isn't ranking and I think this may be due to us changing the URLs on many of the pages. So now we have about 140 plus 301 and 200 crawl issues. How do I fix these issues and get our website ranking? Kind Regards Rachel

Has anyone found a way to change the Google page linked to a Moz local account AFTER it was purchased?
Before realized that the Moz listing should have the correct GMB account connected to it, a few local listings were purchased. Is there a way to change the GMB page it is pulling data from and sending out to directories? Thanks!

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!

Moz Local Duplicating Street Address
Hi, Whenever I done a lookup for a client we were hoping to get on Moz Local, the listing that appeared has a repeating street address. For Example 123 Some Street, 123 Some Street, Some City, Some ZIP Code I have checked Google Plus / Google My Business and no such repetition is there. If anyone has any input on the matter it would be greatly appreciated.
