Closing Old Locations with Moz Local
-
I'm sure the answer is pretty simple, but how are we supposed to report an old location as closed in Moz Local? I'd like to mark an old address as closed in all of the major data providers. Of course, I can claim the new location, but I do I need to claim the old location and then somehow mark it closed?
When I do a search with Moz, it gives me five results for a doctor who has a single location now (I'm not posting the actual name because I just don't want this forum to appear for searches for the doctor):
-
<address>Dr. Doctor Name, DMD Verified
Old Address
Current Phone</address> -
<address>Doctor Name, DMD Verified
Current Address
Current Phone</address> -
<address>**Periodontist, Doctor Name, DMD, PC **Verified
Current Address (Alternate City Name)
Current Phone</address> -
<address>Doctor Name, DMD
Current Address (Alternate City Name)
Current Phone</address> -
<address>Doctor Name
Old Address
Current Phone</address>
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom!
When you look at a Moz Local listing in the Check Listing tool, you can see a list of duplicate listings that pull up in the Duplicates tab. Here you can request removal of these duplicates, which would most likely include the older locations of your most recent listing.
Can you write into help@moz.com with your specific example so that we can take a look and figure out the best way for you to proceed? Thanks!

Moz Local - Hours
I didn't see this previously posted so regrets if it's been asked. I have a local client that runs a bar/restaurant open until 1 a.m. In setting up hours in the Moz Local tool, the day ends at midnight. What's the best way, using the tool, to display "4 p.m. - 1 a.m"?

Hi, Whenever I done a lookup for a client we were hoping to get on Moz Local, the listing that appeared has a repeating street address. For Example 123 Some Street, 123 Some Street, Some City, Some ZIP Code I have checked Google Plus / Google My Business and no such repetition is there.

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!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
