    I was reading the FAQ on Moz Local and would like clarification about this question/answer:

    What happens to my listings on the sites in your network if I cancel my Moz Local subscription?

    Moz Local will simply report to the sites in our network that the listing is no longer under management by one of our customers. In this event, Acxiom and Neustar Localeze will revert your listings to their status prior to your Moz Local subscription. In some cases, your other listings will lose enhanced content like website URL, secondary category information, logos, and other images.

    Moz Local will not actively remove your listing from our network of sites. You will always have the ability to reclaim your listings manually on each site if you decide to cancel your Moz Local subscription.

    So let's say my business moved to another location. Then I signed up for a Moz Local subscription, updated my business address, and then did not renew. After I cancel the Moz Local subscription, will my business address in the Acxiom and Localeze listings revert to what it was before I changed it through Moz Local?

    Please let me know. Thanks!

      Hey Dandelion!

      We do send a signal to our partners when a listing is cancelled, but that message is effectively just saying "this listing is no longer being managed by Moz". From that point, each aggregator has a different way that they treat that and respond. Most aggregators just metaphorically shrug their shoulders, dissociate our service with the listing in their database and move on, but a couple (namely, Acxiom and Localeze) elect to revert the listing back to its previous form.

      I can totally see how the result could feel like a malicious action from our side, but I assure you that we're taking the most mild action possible with each of out partners to simply relinquish ownership of that listing. 🙂

      I hope this helps to provide some color to the way those relationships work! Let me know if you have any further questions!

        Sounds like it is what Moz does, not what Localeze and Acxiom do. It seems like the only way they would know to change it back is because Moz tells them to revert.

          Yep, that's a correct interpretation of what Localeze and Acxiom do when you cancel your Moz Local listing!

            moz local directories

            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!

            “XXX Close” and “XXX Cl” showing up as inconsistencies of the same address in Moz Local checker

            I was using the moz local check listing feature to check one of our clients whos addresses is “XXX Close” When i check listing in moz local i get 2 options of the site : with address “XXX Close” with address “XXX Cl” If i click on the “XXX Close” version it shows me listing where the address is written as “XXX Cl” as being inconsistent and visa versa if i click on the “XXX Cl” version. (this happens as some sites reformat the text, ive submitted them all as “XXX Close”) Is the something to be concerned about ? eg. could it effect rankings or does google understand that they are the same ?

            Insider Pages and Citysearch listing issues

            On our dashboard, I noticed that our Insider Pages listing (the one with the Insider Pages symbol) is linking to the listing for Citysearch. It is also the same link used for our Citysearch listing. Why is that? I managed to find our Insider Pages listing through a search on Google, but why isn't our Insider Pages listing in the dashboard going to that instead? Secondly, our Citysearch listing is showing a "PowerListings Synced" below the description, which indicates that it is managed by Yext. However, to our knowledge, we have not used Yext for that location. Could that be an issue? If we make an update to our listing, will it still be pushed to Citysearch? Thanks!

            I just submitted a Local listing. How long does it take to propagate?

            I'm a newbie for Local but I want to learn it well. How soon will the data be propagated so I can see if there are inconsistencies or duplicates. Thanks!

            How does Moz Local work with business that don't have a physical location? (e.g., handyman, locksmith, etc.)

            I'm wondering how Moz Local will handle a business that doesn't want to publicly display an address.  A handyman, landscaper, or locksmith might want to do something like this.  Is it easily handled or do you have to manually try to "work around" to hide the address on sites that let you? Thanks!
