Moz Local and Telephone Number Change
-
I've been using Moz Local for a couple of months now and I must say it taught me a thing or two about complexity management!
We recently acquired a new phone number for my business and I would like Moz Local assistance to make sure the new number gets populated out there in the wild. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Richard we do not allow 800 numbers that our partners do not accept. If we allowed the 800 numbers we would the pass the details along to our partners and get rejected. Unfortunately at this time there is no override for this requirement as if we did bypass it your data would still be stuck in limbo.

I have a question regarding Moz Local and its causing me a big headache! My client has 2 locations and so I am trying to upload them via the template .csv file which I have ready to go. But the main telephone number field doesn’t allow 800 number and my client (as do most businesses) has a 855 number as the main contact. Is there a solution for this as I cannot upload them currently as it stops me with the 855 number. they have no other number apart from cell phones which they dont want to disclose!

Gettin a little frustrated with Moz wait times. Still my phone number is not updated. http://crystalcleareyecare.com , https://plus.google.com/+Crystalcleareyecare https://www.facebook.com/CrystalClearEyecare . The problem with this is that's there's no feedback from Moz to let you know is not right. Just says these sites are inconsistent.
Also, We've been busy partnering with other firms and have many more external links but The DA never changes - hasn't changed since Jan 27th. We've sent several emails over the last couple of months and the answer is always wait. And the wait is always more than about a week or two.
Please accept my feedback. I feel you have a great service both Local and Pro but the wait times and lack of additional info is making me question the ROI.

Thanks James and Ryan. Yes. it is the main phone number and I've changed the number to the new one in both Facebook and Google +.

Hi David - If this is the main phone number you can update it on Facebook and Google + and we will auto update this info within a week. If it is a secondary phone number as Ryan said you can add it as the Alt Phone on the .csv.

Hi David. Within Moz Local you'll want to use the Alt Phone tag... (from the help doc page: https://moz.com/local/help/documentation) Cheers!
Alt Phone (Optional)
An alternate phone number by which your business can be contacted. Please note that you must have a local contact number as your main phone number. Toll-free numbers may be included as alternate phone numbers.
Example:
(800) 555-5555

Moz Local and Apple Maps: How does the listing update work?
Hello, how are apple maps updated via Moz Local? We have a client who changed their business name within the last six months. We noticed one of the few items that has not changed to date within their Moz dashboard is the name of the business on Apple Maps. In the Accuracy grid, the only item not checked within the Apple Maps column is the business name. Does anyone know how this process works within the Moz Local portal? Is there something we can do to advance the name change on our end? Thank you.

Facebook page not appearing in the Moz Local listing report
Hello, We recently set-up a Moz local account and have submitted our data about the business to it. However for some reason our Facebook page is not showing up in the listing report. The Facebook page is active and has all the NAP details but in the listing report, it only gives the option of creating a listing. Is there any way I can link our Facebook page in the listing report.

Google+ & Yelp Listings not recognized by Moz Local
I've been attempting to get a client's local listings all cleaned up using Moz Local. When I first did a scan, the Yelp listing was there but with an incorrect address. I uploaded all the data via CVS file successfully about a month ago. I logged into the claimed Yelp profile as the owner and made my adjustments. Now, the Moz Local tool says there is no Yelp listing and it's also reporting that there is no G+ page. Can anyone explain? Thanks!
