Moz Local users: Specs for Images?
-
I'm working on the the CSV for Moz Local and I'm wondering about Image and Logo specs. For the five images that are allowed to be uploaded, are there any size specs (width, height and file size) that assures that my images will be likely to be accepted throughout the various Moz Local partners?
Same goes for logo specs.
Thanks,

Right on. Thanks for all your help, Ryan. It's greatly appreciated.

Right. Moz Local uses the matching verifired Google + and Facebook listings to verify those locations. So what you have there is what gets applied to the myriad of others. See: https://mza.bundledseo.com/local/how and:
Moz Local takes the time and hassle out of managing your listings across multiple sites and directories. When you submit a listing on Moz Local, it must match an existing Google Places or Facebook listing across all of the following attributes: Business Name, Address, Phone Number, and Website. Because you've already gone through the phone or postcard verification process with Google and/or Facebook, your Moz Local listings will be validated if they exactly match Google or Facebook.
Some of our partners—such as Infogroup and Best of the Web—may call or email to confirm your listing information is accurate, but no postcard or PIN entry is required.

What if Facebook isn't a concern? Meaning, we already have established Facebook pages for our 12 locations (as well as Google+ and Yelp). I'm using Moz Local to bring consistency to the myriad of other listings.

Since Facebook will scale it they'll have a range to apply them from and it should work pretty well across the platforms. Submission errors come across one at a time so you should see which 3rd party services have issues with the submission, if any. Cheers!

Thanks, Ryan. Great stuff!
I'm pleasantly surprised how big those images are. Do you know what happens if one of the directories only accepts photos smaller than the 1000 x 1000 size? Does it simply not use the photos, or does it reject our entire submission?
Thanks again,

Moz uses Google + and Facebook as their baselines so having images that are scaled to the reqs in those two would be the quickest solution. With Google you can bulk upload images in the dimensional range of 1000x1000 to 3000x3000 "We recommend adding photos that are larger than 1000 x 1000 pixels and smaller than 3000 x 3000 pixels." (https://support.google.com/business/answer/6031953) and then select what you want as a cover photo within Google+. See this guideline: https://support.google.com/business/answer/4791112.
And for Facebook a profile photo containing your company's logo must measure at least 180 by 180 pixels to meet Facebook's upload requirements. Once uploaded, the photo is resized to 160 by 160 pixels and placed within a 170 by 170 field, providing a small border between your profile photo and cover photo. Photos larger than 180 by 180 pixels are scaled down to fit within the profile template. (from: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/size-facebook-business-logos-57290.html)

Unsolved Multiple Locations for One Client on Moz Local
Hello, I have a client that I want to do local SEO for. They have two locations, both cities in Tennessee. To do this, would I just start two separate locations in Moz Local? Or would that cause a problem, making them look like separate "entities" in directories?

Why is Moz local showing my google plus page as incomplete when it is 100% complete
Hi all, New to using Moz Local and so far I like it - but some information is a bit confusing. Specifically the "Incomplete" listings. When I click on it - it shows my Google Plus page (which is verified) as being incomplete. The reason provided is that Moz Local thinks I need to add 3 more categories, when in fact there are no more categories available on Google Plus. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.

Moz Local Address Issues
I've been having some issues with addresses recently that I've been submitting to Moz Local and I'd like to see if other people are having similar issues and how they are resolving them... So Moz local requires you to have any Suite or Floor info on line 2 and I am having a hard time making this work with Google. It seems like they always add it to line 1 and when I call to get it fix it is like pulling teeth to get it right. There has been a couple times i've had to fight to tell them its not formatted right. All this trouble has really made me think about if it is worth it using the service if this is going to be an issue.

Moz Local bulk upload US only
Moz Local has launched in the UK and I am currently using it to update my citations on one of my sites. I tried to upload a CSV with the rest of my citations but it claims Moz Local is US only and does not accept my Country Codes of UK or not having a State. Has anyone else had a similar problem or knows a work around? Thanks

Moz Local, listings still not correct
I've been using Moz Local on all my clients. One client in particular, I've been using Moz Local on for 6 months. Their Moz Local stats all look good inside the dash board. While killing some time the weekend, I ran a few reports on them in Bright Local. None of the sites Moz Local is supposed to be pushing too has the correct listings. They are all different just like before I started. Why is this?

MOZ Local
Is MOZ Local considered a direct competitor to Yext? My company currently uses Yext for its local directory listings, but it is very expensive. Is MOZ Local a superior substitute?
