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!

Thanks Lisa!
To elaborate, NAP changes (name, address, phone, website) must be made through our verification partners, which are Google and Facebook. These are sources we use to verify the quality of the location data submitted to Moz Local. You can see which verification partner a business location is using right in the dashboard as seen here. Once the change is made on Google or Facebook, Moz Local will automatically detect the change and resubmit the corrected information to our partners.
Non-NAP changes (social links, images, etc) can be submitted through the Moz Local dashboard.
If you're not making any changes, then there's no need to resubmit since all data is re-submitted to our partners every 1-2 weeks, automatically. You can verify this by looking at the accuracy metrics in your dashboard.
To be extra thorough, if you're making a change to your NAP, you can add the old business information to the "alternates" feature in the duplicates section. Though we will push the corrected listing information to all of our partners, this can be a way to be extra sure your old NAP information isn't popping up as a duplicate elsewhere online.
Hope this helps!

It’s confusing.
You have to go to the Moz Local Overview page and click Start Using Moz Local.
Then click on your published listing and “edit my listing” which pops up next to your current score.
Your business listing data will be displayed so you can edit whatever has changed.
As Lisa suggests, update it whenever there has been a change to your business local data and resubmit. Moz will push the updates out to it's network and they'll pick it up from there. There's no reason to wait.

Hi there Cathleen!
Moz Local actually automatically pushes out your listing information to our directory partners on a continual basis! That means if you make any changes to your listing, the tool takes care of all resubmissions on your behalf.
I hope that helps!

Moz Local Rank Dropped After Signing Up
I bought the Moz Local Plus (medium package), I submitted all my info including pictures, address, phone etc. When I look at my Google Business Listing, the address got taken off and I dropped to page 2 of maps from 1st page... Is this normal until all the citations get updated? I just signed up yesterday search?q=yard+dawgs&oq=yard+dawgs&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59l3j0j69i61j69i60l2.1231j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

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, however, under the Incomplete section it's showing Google as the one that's incorrect, but when I click through to Google the address is correct - see attached images... I have gone through all the other listings and they are correct from what I can see through the Moz Report. Also, this is happening with more than one address that I have checked - see attached images. If anyone has any input on the matter it would be greatly appreciated. I have posted this before and got no definitive answer, it then hit page two and we all know what happens when it does that. 4FwVXZi.png OEF0JzZ.png CoiU0tt.png jrKdHYU.png 3Rnm6Jz.png mVtALyn.png

New Company with Google+ but not in directories. Does Moz add those even though they show no listing status?
I am submitting a new company. I created a Google+ account that's been verified. Once it's on Moz local, will it be added to these directories even though it's not showing up that the business exists?

With Moz Local rolling out today, will there be a reporting option for local, similar to the current moz reporting?
Thank you for creating a great method for adding local business information to the major data aggregators. Are there plans to create reporting for local, in the future? I'd love to keep my reporting all in one location. Thanks, Kathy
