How do you effectively use these and how do they work on the directories?
Thanks!I can provide some general guidance on how placeholders or variables in business descriptions might work based on common practices in local SEO.
Dynamic Content Insertion:
Placeholders like |city| and |name| are likely used for dynamic content insertion. When you use these placeholders, Moz Local may automatically replace them with the actual city name, business name, or other relevant information for each specific directory listing.
Customization for Local SEO:Using placeholders allows you to create a more personalized and targeted business description for each directory. This can be valuable for local SEO because search engines often prioritize localized content.
Consistency Across Directories:Keeping business information consistent across various directories is crucial for local SEO. Placeholders can help you maintain consistency while tailoring content to each platform.
Examples of Usage:For instance, if your business is a chain with multiple locations, you can use a placeholder for the city name to make your descriptions location-specific. Instead of writing separate descriptions for each location, you can create a template with placeholders.
Example: "Visit our |city| location for the best deals in town paraquesirve.mx!"
Implementation on Directories:
Directories that support dynamic content insertion will likely recognize and interpret these placeholders according to their platform's specifications. Moz Local, or any other local SEO tool, would then ensure that the correct information is submitted to each directory during the listing management process.
Best Practices:Ensure that your use of placeholders makes sense in the context of your business descriptions. Avoid overusing them to the point where the content appears robotic or unnatural.
To get specific guidance on how to use placeholders in Moz Local and how they interact with various directories, I recommend checking Moz's official documentation or contacting their support for the most up-to-date and accurate information. -

Unsolved Moz Local keeps deleting my suite number
Hi, I entered my address on my Moz Local profile but it keeps either (1) deleting my suite number, or (2) not syncing my suite number at all to any of the websites to which it's connected. I've tried putting the suite number in Address Line 1 with the address, and by itself in Address Line 2. I've also tried typing out Suite, Ste., STE, STE., etc. - nothing works and the suite number keeps getting deleted. Very frustrated, please help.

Unsolved New Google SERP Now Lazy Loading
Hello, Google has changed the way it displays it's SERPs with lazy loading new listings. Because of this the Moz Chrome Extension no longer shows results past first results. I also often find that when a site is ranked above the Maps, it doesn't display results. Is there a fix for this?

Moz Local has launched in the UK and I am currently using it to update my citations on one of my sites. I tried to upload a CSV with the rest of my citations but it claims Moz Local is US only and does not accept my Country Codes of UK or not having a State. Has anyone else had a similar problem or knows a work around? Thanks

Moz Local - Needed for good measure?
Hello, Before Moz Local was released, I had worked with a 3rd party vendor and established citations throughout several, several domains. There may had been some directories, such as the databases, that we were unsuccessful at because we're 70 locations and they wanted to charge high fees for bulk. We also were unsuccessful with Yahoo, Yellow Pages and Citysearch (for various reasons that are too complex to get into here). 1. Would it be beneficial to also use Moz Local for good measure and to cover some, if not all, domains we had difficulties with? 2. Would that be duplicating our efforts and/or cause duplicate listings? 3. Can we cherry-pick which domains we want? Thanks.

Anyone else having trouble uploading CSV file to Moz Local?
I have filled out the listings template provided by Moz Local for creating listings. I uploaded a week or so ago and when I went to check listings today, none were created. So I tried to upload the CSV file again, and it is giving me an error saying "Make sure you are uploading a CSV (Comma Delimited) file and that you include the column titles. If you are using Microsoft Excel, please export your spreadsheet as a CSV file first.". I have saved it as a CSV in both Excel and Google sheets, but neither file seems to be recognized by Moz Local as a CSV. Is this happening because of the previously uploaded file, or did it never get uploaded in the first place and I just missed the error message the first time around? Anyone else having problems uploading their CSV and found a way to get it accepted? Is there any other way to create a CSV from an excel file other than Excel or Google Sheets? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
