Moz Local for Physicians
-
I have a Moz Local campaign set up for a physicians clinic. MOZ has informed me that several duplicate listings for the office have been found. Some are listed using an old business name, some are listed using an old business name w/ physicians no longer practicing at the clinic. Most all have inconsistent data. The question is: Do I "ignore" or "close" these duplicate listings? Also, should I wait to clean up inconsistent data until MOZ has successfully "submitted and updated" the listings in the directories they submit to? When I search my local listing with Moz, why does it state that MOZ is unable to contact YP, Hotfrog, and Best of the Web?
I will appreciate any guidance here:-)

Thank you for your response.
So, to be clear. You are suggesting that I close the listings which reference the the old clinic name, even if it has the same address. Also, you recommend that I should close the listings that may have the new clinic name, but reference doctors no longer with the organization?
I'm not sure when it is appropriate to simply "ignore" a duplicate listing.

Hello!
If the businesses are duplicates where you have an original listing created on the same service, definitely submit a request to close them. If they are not your business at all, ignore.
If you have already purchased a listing, you do not need to search using our tool for your business as we will filter your paid listing out of the results. So only search if you are intending to purchase a new listing for a different location.
Inability to contact any engine means the APIs we connect to are not available. Each time you load this report, it is a live search query and we recommend only refreshing once or twice a week.
Hope this helps!

I am new to MOZ
I just purchased MOZ local for a client on a brand new location. I had already submitted the NAP to the big four google, yahoo, bing, yelp. I purchased the 99/year basic plan and now I am a bit confused. Will MOZ submit to the local directories in the network or out of the network that does not have a listing in place (Business New Address) so no listings exist besides the ones I mentioned. Also, it says it will send it to all four aggregators, is this true and how can I verify? Can someone explain what I should expect? YIKES, I hope this is not a dumb question for those MOZer gurus :). If it doesn't what did I just buy? A way to monitor Google? Please assist. I need to get NAP data out there for local directories for a customer. Should I have done this a different way? Thanks in advance,

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.

Our Google my business listings aren't syncing with Moz listings. I've tried importing them but nothing happens. Anyone know what the problem could be?
We have a professional level subscription for 5 company listings on Moz Local. These listings seem to have synced everywhere except for Google My Business. 1 out of 5 of these synced with Google My Business. When I try to import the listings that aren't synced, nothing happens. I would try the option "push to Google my Business" but we already have listings there. Any ideas about why these aren't importing/syncing?

MOZ Local
Does moz local include a yelp listing? Is there a page that accurately describes all the local directories MOZ local connects with? Is MOZ local a better solution compared to Yext?

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!

I have used Yext and they tried to connect you with citation services that have no relevance to our website. I cancelled Yext. .
