Can MozLocal cause duplicate listings?
-
I had already claimed many of our listings before subscribing to Moz Local, will Moz Local just update those claimed listings or does it use the CSV file to create a duplicate listings? Out of nowhere I had about 5 duplicates pop up and am not sure where they came from. They are a beast to get rid of so hoping there is an easy explanation/fix!

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out!
Once uploaded, validated, and purchased, we publish your listing data to all of our partners for processing—which takes anywhere from a couple of minutes eight weeks. The only time we won't push a listing through to one of our partners is if you have a paid account with them already.
Otherwise, we update any existing listing that you have with them. We won't create any duplicate listings, so you'll be safe there. If we do find a potential duplicate, we list them out and direct you on where you need to go to fix them. Outside of that, you're welcome to use you Check Listing feature ( http://moz.com/local/search ) to see what areas could be improved for listings outside of our partnership network.
Hope this helps and have a great day!

MOZ not verifying my Google My Business listing
Hello Folks, Moz Local is not verifying my Google My Business Listing nor is it verifying the manual CSV upload. My Google My Business Listing and my manual CSV upload correctly display all of the same information as my Google My Business Listing and Facebook Page using the following Moz Local guidelines. The only thing that I can think of is that Moz Local is currently pulling up and older listing with a toll free number; however that has been corrected and the feed is real time, so I'm at a loss. Facebook 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! Google My Business 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 business must not be listed as a “service area business”. A service area business displays with the street address being hidden, as well as the listing not being surfaced through the Google Places API (which is where we pull the listing details from). The listing must be verified by postcard. As a note, it may take a couple days after the postcard verification process for the listing to be available through the Google Places API. The listing must be completely searchable through Google Maps, with the full NAP listed correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Will MOZ Local Claim the Foursquare listing for me?
Hello all! Well, basically that's the question in the subject! Will MOZ Local Claim the Foursquare listing for me? Do I need to first claim the listing in Foursquare and then and only then connect to MOZ Local? Because it seems to me that, if so, this is not happening currently. Thank you in advance!

How can I add the county (I'm in the UK) to my Facebook page
I am trying to setup a Moz Local campaign but I am unable to change the county (I am in the UK). In the Moz report, my 'state' is listed as 'Cnwll', but it should be 'Cornwall'. My Google + page has the correct information and is verified. My Facebook page has the correct information, apart from the fact that I can't add add a county. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could go from here? Thanks.

Facebook listing not found
Kinda new to Moz Local. Up until about 5 days ago, I was getting 96-97% reported by Moz Local - then suddenly that dropped to 84% and Moz Local reported that my Facebook listing wasn't found. I'd seen face book come and go, sometimes Moz Local would say FB couldn't be reached but usually it would show up later that day and I'd get 96% again. But now its been about 5 days and FB keeps showing up as no listing found. I completely retyped in my FB url and verified everything but still Moz Local won't update.

Google+ & Yelp Listings not recognized by Moz Local
I've been attempting to get a client's local listings all cleaned up using Moz Local. When I first did a scan, the Yelp listing was there but with an incorrect address. I uploaded all the data via CVS file successfully about a month ago. I logged into the claimed Yelp profile as the owner and made my adjustments. Now, the Moz Local tool says there is no Yelp listing and it's also reporting that there is no G+ page. Can anyone explain? Thanks!
