Moving across the Country
-
Hello folks this is my first time here after someone told me that if I wanted my Google business moved seamlessly to my new location it might be better if I had a service like Moz to handle it.
So now I'm here after signing up for the Moz Pro, whether I needed to or not I'm not even sure yet.So is this a thing I do myself or is this a thing that I pay moz to do for me this one time? Okay thanks for your help, John

@odonovj Moz Pro can certainly help your SEO efforts, so if you're targeting a new market with the move, then you can definitely utilize it well in terms of overtaking the local competitors in SERPs etc.

Hi John,Great decision on signing up for Moz Pro! It's a powerful tool. Here's the thing: Moz Pro mainly offers SEO tools that help improve your website's visibility, but it doesn't directly handle the management of your Google My Business listing.
If you're looking to update your Google My Business for a new location, you'd typically handle that directly through the Google My Business platform. It's a relatively straightforward process. However, Moz can be useful in analyzing and optimizing the SEO aspects of your online presence once that change is made.
If you're looking for assistance in handling this move seamlessly, consider reaching out to an eCommerce agency that offers local SEO services. They'll have the expertise to ensure your business listing is updated correctly and can make the most of tools like Moz.
Hope that clarifies things! Best of luck with the relocation.

Google listing only appears when I move / zoom in or out of the map
Hi everyone, We are having an issue with this local business. The Google listing isn't immediately appearing on the map. You have to move the map or zoom in and out for the listing to appear. I find this really odd as our competitors - with no reviews and way further in proximity - are appearing with no issues. The listing is only about 4km where I'm doing the search, while competitors with no reviews are about 20km away. We are ranking in the top 5 organically for the search term I used (pool renovations brisbane), but nowhere in local unless the map is moved. When the listing appears, sometimes the pin also looks grey instead of red, while others are red (if that makes sense). On top of this, their organic rankings have also been on a downward trend since June. I'm currently doing a backlink audit to see if it's contributing to the issue. If anyone also has other ideas, could you please let me know? Thanks.

Google My Business marker/pin - Do I have control over moving it?
I am working with a country club. We opened the Google my business account and Moz Local. i think the developer/builder of the Country Club planned on the address being in different place than it is today. Do I have control over moving that marker on this massive property. Or, is this done at the city/county level? The marker isn't quite near the building or the true entrance to the country club.

Does business name capitalisation count when making sure you have the same NAP across all directories ?
We've got a UK company with a company name like the following "ABC cars" (3 letter capitalised name followed by a word). With the Thompson local directory (one of the top 10 uk directories for local NAPs (and listed as a direct partner in Moz Local)) they dont allow you to have multiple capitalised letters in a company name. As far as i can see there are a few options to get around this : A B C Cars Abc Cars abc Cars (or abc cars) But none of them are ideal, as they dont match the actual name as listed on all of sites 100% in terms capitalisation. Which one of the above (or other) would be the best solution ? Does capitalisation count when people say your NAP must match ?

My country is wrong in the Moz tool: Shows Canada, when the store is in Georgia (US)
I am working with a client who has stores in Missouri and Georgia (US). When I was looking at the site using the Moz tool, it shows that the site is in Canada! The site is hosted by HubSpot Questions: Should I be worried (I suspect yes, that's why I'm posting this) How do I fix? JaOHZkX

Moving Locations and NAP
Hello, I am the new IT guy for a business that is moving. They have a ton of old NAP stuff for like 3 offices that they are no longer at and to be honest, the entire NAP is just a total chaotic mess. They did not keep a record of the accounts used to make the listings or anything of the sort. Now they want me to fix it all up. Does anyone have any suggestions on techniques for doing this? Is there a way to get these out of date listings closed or do I just simply make all new ones that are correct? Or is there something I am not thinking of? Thanks.

Local citations from business directories in other countries
Hi all, I normally work for clients in my home county (The Netherlands) and with local citation building I focus on Dutch websites or well know .com websites in the Netherlands. My rule of thumb kinda was, if it’s not known in the Netherlands it isn’t worth getting mentioned there. Since The Netherlands are pretty small and I think Google ain’t perfect I was wondering if it makes sense to list a Dutch business on any .com business listings that are internationally big, but aren’t well known in the Netherlands. Two reasons that got me thinking this direction: A big well known Dutch company offers a service such as Moz local and did integrate their service with several international business listing websites that I never heard off, since these business directories focus themselves on other parts of the world. Google ain’t perfect and I think they got more budget to identify trustworthy business directories with an international focus or a focus on America then with a focus on The Netherlands. So I’m wondering if it makes any sense to list a Dutch business on let’s say the top 20 international business directories (although these directories don’t have any brand recognition in The Netherlands).

Google Local: When moving locations, is a new website/content needed?
I've effectively moved companies before, but I've heard that ranking locally in a competitive market after an address move it is necessary to redesign the entire website/content/domain as Google associates the old website/content/domain with the old location. Is this true? Does anyone have any direct experience with this? NOTE- I have updated citations across the internet and have regular social signals going to the new location, and this has been the case for almost 6 months now.
