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. 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)

One of your listings managed by Moz Local appears to no longer have data on either Google or Facebook
Hello, Here is my business info: Bright Vessel 18487 SE Federal Hwy #5

Jupiter, FL 33469 561.935.6418 https://www.brightvessel.com/contact-2/ "One of your listings managed by Moz Local appears to no longer have data on either Google or Facebook. As a result we're pausing further updates. However, information distributed so far will be unaffected for the duration of your subscription." I checked both my accounts and saw the only discrepancy was the suite # was missing on Facebook. I added but I am not sure what else I need to do. Can someone help? Thanks, Judd1 -
How do I use Moz Local to delete citations for an incorrect business location?
For some reason when you search our business name in a specific English county (or town within that country) one of the results in the local pack is the home address and phone number for a private individual who is nothing to do with us. He is now being bombarded with calls from people who need our services, which is less than ideal for both parties. I have no idea how this happened, but by using the person's postcode and Moz Local I was able to find a list of citations which have his address and phone number listed with our business name, which I assume is causing Google to rank his house for our business in local search . I was wondering how can I use Moz Local to delete these citations so that Google stops providing this person's address when you search for our business. Thanks for your help

Moz Local Duplicating Street Address
Hi, Whenever I done a lookup for a client we were hoping to get on Moz Local, the listing that appeared has a repeating street address. For Example 123 Some Street, 123 Some Street, Some City, Some ZIP Code I have checked Google Plus / Google My Business and no such repetition is there. If anyone has any input on the matter it would be greatly appreciated.
