Can MozLocal cause duplicate listings?
-
I had already claimed many of our listings before subscribing to Moz Local, will Moz Local just update those claimed listings or does it use the CSV file to create a duplicate listings? Out of nowhere I had about 5 duplicates pop up and am not sure where they came from. They are a beast to get rid of so hoping there is an easy explanation/fix!

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out!
Once uploaded, validated, and purchased, we publish your listing data to all of our partners for processing—which takes anywhere from a couple of minutes eight weeks. The only time we won't push a listing through to one of our partners is if you have a paid account with them already.
Otherwise, we update any existing listing that you have with them. We won't create any duplicate listings, so you'll be safe there. If we do find a potential duplicate, we list them out and direct you on where you need to go to fix them. Outside of that, you're welcome to use you Check Listing feature ( http://moz.com/local/search ) to see what areas could be improved for listings outside of our partnership network.
Hope this helps and have a great day!

Updating Local Listings that Moz Local Won't Update completely?
I use Moz local and have for over a year, so my profiles should all be spot on by now. How can you update some inconsistent info that Moz does't provide or is not updating. I have tried to go in and claim some of the listings that the information isn't filled in properly or the ones that don't have the categories filled out that I know Moz Local won't do, but it is saying it is managed by Moz and won't let me claim it. What can I do.

If I "close" a duplicate listing on Factual, Acxiom, SuperPages, Bing or Localeze, what exactly happens?
When I click "close" for a duplicate location with wrong information, does it mark that location as PERMANENTLY CLOSED on the website (factual, acxiom, etc), or does it delete it from that website? Additionally, once that location on that site is marked as permanently closed or deleted, does Moz Local then re-add the correct information to that site? Thanks!!!

Which "business type" is most appropriate for MozLocal?
We are trying to select our "business type" for MozLocal. It's not clear what the implication is by choosing one over the other: brick and mortar or service area? Does anyone understand the criteria to choose one over the other, and when and how is this used by local listings? Thanks.

How can I add the county (I'm in the UK) to my Facebook page
I am trying to setup a Moz Local campaign but I am unable to change the county (I am in the UK). In the Moz report, my 'state' is listed as 'Cnwll', but it should be 'Cornwall'. My Google + page has the correct information and is verified. My Facebook page has the correct information, apart from the fact that I can't add add a county. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could go from here? Thanks.

"We were unable to validate the following listings with Google or Facebook"
Hi, I'm trying to submit the Moz Local service and it keeps saying unable to validate the listing even though our Facebook and Google accounts have been provided and match the listing. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to be struggling to find our listing for some reason.

Moz Local - any way to claim Best of the Web listing?
Moz Local put up a basic listing for us on Best of the Web, but I'd like to claim the listing as well, so that I can edit it through my account. Is this at all possible?
