Moz Local - Does it do the work for you?

[Prime85]

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a quick question regarding Moz Local ... I understand what it does and the purpose and how great it is...

My question is this: If you sign up for Moz local, does it actually send all of the proper and necessary info to each of the aggregators or sites that it lists or does it simply tell me what information i need to send them and i have to provide this info to each one myself?

For example, does it say something like "Inconsistent info found on Yelp, please do this to correct" .... OR, does it actually make the corrections and send to yelp for me?

Thanks

Hi Prime!

In short, Moz Local tracks a total of 15 platforms. 10 of these we directly update and manage for you. 5 of them you will need to manage manually.

The 10 we directly update for you are:

Acxiom

Best of the Web

Bing

Citysearch

Factual

Foursquare

Infogroup

Insiderpages

Localeze

Superpages

The other 5 we track but don't push to are:

Google

Facebook

YP

Yelp

Hotfrog

In order to sign up for Moz Local, you will first need to have either a verified Google+ Local page or Facebook Place as these are the 2 sources we draw data from and validate against.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your input.

Anyone else who pays for the Moz Local service have any feedback or answer to the original question?

Thanks

Hey Prime 85

Im in the UK and have used the free version of the tool without signing up for full moz local

It listed my company as 32% complete and it claimed it could get me to 96%

I worked through the listings 1 by 1 using the information the free version provides and currently have it up to 79%
The free version does exactly what you said, by following the tabs it tell you where inconsistent data is found and which profiles are incomplete and where duplicate listings are found.

This approach involves much more work but is great for a company like my employer who wont spend on the features. I still know exactly what I need to do to climb the extra few percent but it is proving hard as some of them dont allow edits unless you pay for listings etc.

I understand if you pay for moz local, you basically sync up all your listing accounts with your moz local account and it goes through each automatically updating the information to be the same. The only work you have to do it providing is access and permission to edit those account.

It basically removes the hours of leg work i have put in to acheive around 80% and gives you a 95% + completion in super fast time and makes it easy to maintain and update these listings without having to do each one individually.

Hopefully someone who pays for it can give you a better idea of how to full paid product behaves, But this is how i understand it.

Hope it helps
