If I "close" a duplicate listing on Factual, Acxiom, SuperPages, Bing or Localeze, what exactly happens?
-
When I click "close" for a duplicate location with wrong information, does it mark that location as PERMANENTLY CLOSED on the website (factual, acxiom, etc), or does it delete it from that website?
Additionally, once that location on that site is marked as permanently closed or deleted, does Moz Local then re-add the correct information to that site?
Thanks!!!

Thank you. You are awesome! Have a great weekend.

Hi there!
When you click "Close" for a duplicate location surfacing for your listing, the end result will be that the duplicate page is completely removed, not left active and marked as Permanently Closed. Moz Local does create a page of your business for each partner site in our Direct Network by pulling the name, address, and phone number from your verified Google+ or Facebook page.

I hope this helps - thank 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!

Unsolved Listing Permanence
Do listings revert to original state after cancelling Moz Local subscription? I know Yext is a feed that needs to be in place for their listings to show, and when you cancel the subscription, the listings all revert to how they were before you started (if you are lucky). I was told that Moz Local was different by a rep of the underlying platform that Moz white labels. Is this true , or still true? Thanks

My Listing pulls in my street address twice from Google profile
Hi, My address is xxx Oxford Road. This is what it says on Google Plus/Google Business. However when Moz Local looks it up it shows as xxx Oxford Road, xxx Oxford Rd. Because of this Moz Local thinks all other local results are inaccurate. Please help! Thanks

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?
