Foursquare syncing on Moz Local
-
I searched the boards here and I couldn't find a question about one of my most persistent issues with Moz Local. As an SEO at a small agency, I'm typically managing between 5-6 different Moz Local campaigns from one dashboard. I have found the Foursquare syncing process to be extremely troublesome. Has anyone cracked it? I was only able to get 1 of my 5 current campaigns to sync. And I did it a while ago so I've forgotten how I did it.
Here's how the process has been going for me. This is going to be lengthy (sorry) but I want you all to have all the deets.
I see an alert in the Foursquare sync box on my left hand menu. I click it. It takes me to this page: https://moz.com/local/bulk/managed/oauth/foursquare. I see a message that reads "4 Listings need access to Foursquare". I click the button in this message that says "+ Foursquare account". I add a personal Foursquare account because apparently you need a pesonal account before you can set up a business account (a la Facebook?).
I successfully go through steps to add a Foursquare account. If I click the little gear in the "4 Listings need access to Foursquare" box it shows that I have 3 connected Foursquare accounts. But this appears to be as far as I can go. What's next?
Above the "4 Listings need access to Foursquare" box there's another box that says "2 Foursquare account have no matching listings." This box isn't clickable. There appears to be no next step here. I'm super frustrated by this user experience.
Am I supposed to creating Foursquare Accounts with the business name some how?

Hello again, Lure Creative. Thanks for answering yet another of my questions. I would really like Moz to weigh in on this though. How about you? : )

Hi Paul
After connecting accounts, you will need click on the "Claim" button next to the listings, then choose one of the connected accounts in the list.
Let me know if this helps

We have run into the same issue in the past. We found that if you just have a basic free FourSquare account, you can go in and manually add a business and Foursquare seems to publish it immediately (https://foursquare.com/add-place). This is annoying and not as easy as just using Moz Local, but it is a way to get your client's FourSquare profile and NAP shored up. I would love if Moz was able to fix this also.

Q: At what point in time should I submit a "corrected" NAP to MOZ Local in the process of cleaning up NAP in the directory ecosystem?
1- Can I submit a "corrected" NAP to Moz Local and trust that all the incorrect info in the entire directory ecosystem will get corrected? If the answer is yes, how long would this take? 2- Should I change the incorrect NAP listings in the "other" directories that MOZ doesn't have an agreement with, before I submit a "corrected" NAP to MOZ.? Thanks for the info:-)
