Validation needed - listing not found on google or facebook, but I'm looking at my google my business listing. Whats going on?
-
It is telling me "we were unable to validate the following listings with google or facebook", but the information matches my google my business listing exactly (for as much as I can tell) why won't it let me validate? I know I have a google my business listing as I am the manager of it and i synced it to moz local via google my business. So why is it not validating when i know for a fact it is listed in Google?
Sharper Impressions Painting Inc 6292 Valleyview Dr, Fishers, IN 46038 (317)423-0230.
My other 4 sharper impressions listings were validated (even the kansas city one that is still waiting to be verified on google my business) so I am at a loss as to why this one will not validate.
Please advise.

- Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem, and my Facebook page has been live for a couple years. The information on the fb page is complete, and it matches the info on everything else. My Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/GleamingGlass/

Sorry for the trouble! A verified Facebook or Google listing must meet certain requirements to be used as a validation source. You can find those requirements here: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/help/guides/local/listing#frequently-asked-questions
If your Google listing meets all those requirements, then a failure to validate usually means Google is simply not making the location available in their Google Places database. In that event, there's unfortunately not much we can do from our end to force it to surface. You would need to reach out to Google to inquire about it.
If you're still not quite sure why we can't pick up your Google listing, we can help investigate if you send us a link to the page at [email protected]. Thanks!

Using Moz Local for Two Businesses / Two Websites but One Building
I'd like to use Moz Local for two of my clients who share a space. The first one is an independent tattoo artist, who operates inside a larger tattoo shop. Both the tattoo shop and this individual artist have websites, and they'd both like me to optimize for local search. Will this be a problem using Moz Local to add both businesses? I will buy two different Moz Local subscriptions for them, but I don't want one business to override the other since they're inside the same address. Thanks!

How to Sync Hot Frog with Moz Listing score
Hi, I have a Client who owns two restaurant locations. And have been updating and verifying their listings while using Moz's Listing Scores to validate improvements. 1st Locations' Moz listing score can be found here: https://goo.gl/h17VZj 2nd Locations' score can be found here: https://goo.gl/ZnQMpi Both have Hot Frog Listings 1st Locations Hot Frog Account: https://www.hotfrog.com/business/nv/henderson/me-gusta-tacos_43095742 2nd Hot Frog Account https://www.hotfrog.com/business/nv/las-vegas/me-gusta-tacos One thing is that although I have created a Hot Frog account for the 1st location, the Hot Frog account does not propagate with Moz's Listing analysis. On the other hand, the Second Location's Moz Listing shows that there is indeed a Hot Frog Account Not sure why one shows up, while the other does not. ZaULBWm d8aPpbG

Updating Local Listings that Moz Local Won't Update completely?
I use Moz local and have for over a year, so my profiles should all be spot on by now. How can you update some inconsistent info that Moz does't provide or is not updating. I have tried to go in and claim some of the listings that the information isn't filled in properly or the ones that don't have the categories filled out that I know Moz Local won't do, but it is saying it is managed by Moz and won't let me claim it. What can I do.

Has anyone found a way to change the Google page linked to a Moz local account AFTER it was purchased?
Before realized that the Moz listing should have the correct GMB account connected to it, a few local listings were purchased. Is there a way to change the GMB page it is pulling data from and sending out to directories? Thanks!
