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

How long do Facebook and Google pages have to be published before Moz can verify them?
Hi there. I've checked the forums and have seen similar questions, but couldn't find an answer in them. I have a listing that I imported from my Google My Business account, but it comes up as unverified for both Facebook and Google. Both pages exist, but have only been published for about 3 weeks. Both sites contain the accurate business information and are the appropriate types of pages, so the best I can determine from what I've read in the other posts is that "newly" published Facebook and Google pages may not be able to be verified by Moz Local. So the question is, what is considered "newly published"? The Facebook business page is: https://www.facebook.com/JTBentonConsulting/ The Google+ page is: https://plus.google.com/b/114469171569907148968/+JTBentonConsultingAdamstown?pageId=114469171569907148968&hl=en The name registered for Google My Business is: J T Benton Consulting - Mobile Notary Public Any ideas?

Moz Local: Does cancelling change information in business listings?
I was reading the FAQ on Moz Local and would like clarification about this question/answer: What happens to my listings on the sites in your network if I cancel my Moz Local subscription? Moz Local will simply report to the sites in our network that the listing is no longer under management by one of our customers. In this event, Acxiom and Neustar Localeze will revert your listings to their status prior to your Moz Local subscription. In some cases, your other listings will lose enhanced content like website URL, secondary category information, logos, and other images. Moz Local will not actively remove your listing from our network of sites. You will always have the ability to reclaim your listings manually on each site if you decide to cancel your Moz Local subscription. So let's say my business moved to another location. Then I signed up for a Moz Local subscription, updated my business address, and then did not renew. After I cancel the Moz Local subscription, will my business address in the Acxiom and Localeze listings revert to what it was before I changed it through Moz Local? Please let me know. Thanks!

Moz local is telling me that I don't have a Google+ listing when I actually do. What is the problem?
I have about 7 of my clients listings currently in Moz Local. It's showing that we don't have a Google+ listing when we actually do. Everything I have in Google My Business (NAP) matches what I have in Moz Local. It's a service based business and Google has recommended that we hide the address since consumers don't actually visit my clients location. Could that be the issue? If so, how do we take care of this?

Moz Local Distribution Network
I'm looking for some documentation on Moz Local about the distribution network. I know Moz submits directly to:
Moz Local | | rustmedia
Infogroup
Acxiom
Nuestar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web However, Moz doesn't seem to provide documentation on what sites will be updated from their distribution network. I need to know how this entire distribution network compares to the Check Listing graph provided by Moz Local. For example, I know Yahoo is part of Localeze's distribution network. What sites in the Check Listing graph are not part of the entire distribution network?0 -
