Moz Local Time Frame
-
I must have missed it. How long does it take Moz Local to do its thing once the service has been paid?

Hi Min,
Thanks so much for providing your honest feedback about your experience with Moz Local. If you created an account more than 8 weeks ago and aren't seeing completion on any of the 7 supported partners, I recommend you create a support ticket to have someone on the team look into it. -
Hi Yellabird,
MozLocal will get you listed with these 7 'big boys':
Infogroup
Acxiom
Nuestar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web -
Thanks for the info Sam and Miriam.
I want to give my feeback and understanding of Moz Local. I believe Moz Local works and it's helped me in resolving all duplicates and inconsistencies but I can honestly say it's been more then two months and it still has not fully updated with the main players ((waiting) Infogroup, (waiting) Neustar Localeze, (updated) Acxiom, and (updated) Factual).
If anyone is interested in Moz Local then it's a great base to assist in laying the foundation information but keep in mind not all of the information in your CSV file will load evenly across the board. I've had experiences where the map data is understood on one aggregator and ignored on others. I've had the same experience with other data especially photos.
Moz Local is very good at laying at base but don't consider it to be a 100% solution, it does require additional updating on your part.

Thanks for the reply. Typically how many citations get built utilizing this service?

Hi Yellabird,
You'll be able to track the progress of your listings being submitted by us and updated by our partners by logging into your Moz Local account and looking at the row of little circles next to your business information in the dashboard. You can mouse over each circle to see what it means.
I also want to update this thread with new information regarding typical time frames for achieving completion. This is really more like 8 weeks than 4 weeks.
Hope this helps!

If we successfully uploaded a csv and paid, will we be notified when listings have gone live?

Update from the Moz Support Team: Please read our update timeframes guide for avoiding delay.
Hi Min,
Thanks for reaching out!
The time it takes our partners to update the listing really depends on whether or not they have an API. If they do have an API, the listing will be updated pretty much immediately. If they run on a traditional database (Acxiom is one), it can take up to 4 weeks.
Let us know if you have any other questions and hope you have a great day!

Bump...
A simple response will do. Does propagation take roughly a month, a couple weeks, etc. ?

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

National or local tracking of keywords
I manage an account with +20 locations and have used the default National tracking on keywords, but realized that we might see higher rankings if I choose local tracking. If any of you have any experience in this, please tell the world!

Why do my search results differ from MOZ's rank tracker
This is starting to happen a lot, i mean they weren't always an exact match but they differed by a few places. But now the gap between results I'm getting and MOZ's own rank tracker is quite large. For my keyword my page ranks on MOZ at 39 (it was 25 but has slipped down). Im seeing my page on page 1 locally and page 2 in incognito mode. Now I understand there are other factors such as browser history, cookies, am i logged into gmail etc. Thats why I asked colleagues to use Internet explorer and they have nothing to do with SEO so their history wont affect the search. They report seeing it on page 2, even colleagues in a different office in a different city sees it on page 2. I want to contact the department in question and share the good news that they've gone from none existent to 14th in what is a very competitive area. But MOZ's result has be second guessing whether I should. Any ideas why the gap between results is so large? Thanks

URLS appearing twice in Moz crawl
I have asked this question before and got a Moz response to which i replied but no reply after that. Hi, We have noticed in our moz crawl that urls are appearing twice so urls like this - http://www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ www.recyclingbins.co.uk/about/ Thought it may be possible rel=canonical issue as can find URL's but no linking URL's to the pages. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you Jon I did the crawl test and they were not there

How to make sense of data for this keyword (Moz Keyword vs. Google KW Planner)
The keyword "auto immune disorder" has an avg monthly (local/US) search of 880 in Google KW Planner with "low" competition In Moz, the same keyword has an avg monthly (local/US) search of 5 with a KW difficulty of 71%. I realize that the competition in Google KWP is based on ads, but is there a discrepancy when the search volume is so different in Google vs. Moz/Bing? Based on the above data, it seems like it would make sense to do a Google Adword (high search volume, low competition) instead of trying to rank organically...am I on the right track here? Thanks!

Issues adding keywords to MOZ analytics
Hi All 🙂 I've started a couple of campaigns in MOZ Analytics, one accepts keywords the other looks like it does but doesn't actually add them.. I'm pasting a group of keywords, about 30, all separated with comma's. Doing exactly the same to one account that congratulated me straight away and added them to the list below, yay! The other shows the spinning wheel for a few seconds and does nothing further, I've waited a good 24 hours and they keywords have not appeared. Any help appreciated! Thanks 🙂
