Should I leave the updating to Moz Local (App) or do it myself?
-
Hello.
I am using the Moz Local service to submit my site to directories. There seems to be a bit of conflicting information/Instructions. Do I just sit back and let Moz continue with providing updates to the sites, or do I have to manually go in to each of the partner sites to make sure that they are all updated correctly?
I seem to remember reading one instruction telling me to let Moz do it, and another saying that I should be doing it.
There are missing categories on some of the sites, which I am being told to make sure are correct, whilst the Moz Local site is saying 'Update in progress'.
I am a bit confused :0)

My Google+ graph is on 100% incomplete, even though my Google+ local business page is up and running and has been verified by Google. How do I kick-start this so that it reflects the real score?

So for the UK Moz Local product, I should just leave Moz to deal with everything in the graph/chart, except Google, Facebook and Yelp, even if there are inconsistencies and missing items?

Hi There,
The Moz Local tool helps to make listing data for a physical business consistent across multiple directories. This tool specifically targets the name, address, phone number, and website for a physical business because consistent data for those things helps sites to rank better in organic searches. The tool also creates listings with our partner directories if a listing for the business doesn't already exist, which helps to make the business more visible. This is all done automatically so it will all be done on this end.
Basically, with Moz Local, it all starts with an existing Google+ Places or Facebook Local page that matches the business name, address, and phone number you are hoping to find in our check listing tool or when you're bulk uploading listing via the CSV upload. If you're not seeing an exact matching business NAP, you may need to make some adjustments on the existing Google+ or Facebook pages to ensure the business NAP matches and to make sure they show up as local business pages.
Once you purchase your listing we publish your listing data to all of our partners for processing—which takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to eight weeks to update.
Here are our partners:
Infogroup
Acxiom
Neustar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web
Citysearch
Insider Pages
BingAnyone outside of our partners you may need to update manually so that may be creating some of the confusion. Hopefully this helps clear everything up but if you have any questions for me please let me know
Have an awesome day and I look forward to speaking with you!

Unsolved Moz Local business listing
Hello, I just signed up for Moz local, when will all of the directories promised be populated with the information I filled out in the dashboard? It is my understanding, I just fill out my profile on Moz local and all the business listing will be automatically created and updated for me. or do I need to create the account on for example Manta and Forsquare and then you will update the existing account. Please reply back to me with clear answer and instructions to my question. Thank you!

Resubmitting to Moz Local
Hello, We use Moz Local to manage local listings for our clients. What are the best practices for resubmitting once there are changes made to the data? Should I resubmit all data even if there aren't any changes to most of the locations? Would there be a time frame that I should have for this ie: Once a quarter, Once a year? Thanks!

How does the "Update Listing" in the InComplete section of Moz Local work?
I know it takes you to the listing site. Do you then have to create an account and claim the listing and then update it there? Does claiming the listing lose the connection with Moz Local? I've been spending a lot of time claiming listings and wondering if that's correct or not. Thanks Dana
