Using Moz Local to update Factual data
-
As you may know, for a couple of months now, Factual has been having trouble ingesting the data into their network. This is apparent to other Trusted Data Contributors of Factual.
Is the Moz Local team experiencing similar problems getting business listings added or updated, or can I be assured my local business info will be updated in Factual if I purchase Moz Local service?

Hi Sam and thanks for the response. I am still unclear whether or not my local business info will be updated in Factual if I purchase Moz Local service. Can you please answer this question?

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
So, our tools are still able to submit data to Factual successfully. The problem at the moment is that Factual has confirmed with us that their API is unable to provide reliable accuracy checks to Moz Local. Unfortunately this is a limitation of how their database and public directory are structured, and we don't have alternative means of checking accuracy there. Due to this limitation, Factual accuracy reports are simply unreliable.

Moz Local - City being named twice
Hello, So the provided address by Moz is being pulled from Google. It's listing the city twice, even though Google Plus isn't doing this. Meaning there's a few inconsistent listings for the address. Any ideas how to change the address that Moz is using? Thanks 🙂 fDmsIos

Does purchasing a Moz Local listing allow you to report old incorrect addresses?
I know this is pretty basic, but I've had trouble finding a way to report old, incorrect addresses. It almost seems like they want you to purchase a second listing to claim that one. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tom
