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)

Moz Local showing wrong Acxiom Listing
Hey there -- The Acxiom listing that is showing up for a client in Moz Local isn't the clients business. It's showing a different law office. The only overlapping data is the city, state and zip code. For reference, the client has claimed their Acxiom business listing. Anything I can do to fix this? I can't even click on the listing from Moz.

Does Moz track mobile queries?
Sorry if this has been asked before (searched to no avail), and it's probably a dumb question... but if you're still reading... 🙂 I'd like to determine which pages of my site show up on MOBILE searches (i.e. user is on an iPhone). I know that Moz shows searches "from" a certain location, but my understanding (which may be wrong!) is that the SERP on a mobile device is sometimes different from a desktop search. Ultimately, I'm trying to decide whether to create a whole different layout for my home page ONLY for mobile devices, and if virtually everyone finding my site on a mobile phone would see that page first. I figured if Moz tracked "mobile SERP rankings", then I could simply see if any pages besides the home page are ranking for my targeted terms. Any thoughts or clarifications greatly appreciated! 🙂 ~ Scott
