If Google Business disapproves your website's URL, it could be due to several reasons such as malformation, domain issues, or non-compliance with their guidelines. To address this:
-
Proper Formatting: Ensure that your URL is correctly formatted. It should start with "http://" or "https://" and should be in a standard format without any unusual characters or spaces.
-
Active URL: Make sure that your website is active and accessible. If it's down or under maintenance, Google may not approve it.
-
Compliance with Guidelines: Check Google's guidelines for business listings and ensure that your website meets all the necessary requirements. This includes having accurate and up-to-date information, relevant content, and adhering to Google's policies regarding content and behavior.
-
Domain Issues: Verify that there are no issues with your domain such as being flagged for malware, phishing, or other malicious activities. Also, ensure that your domain is not a subdomain or a free-hosted domain which Google may not approve.
-
Contact Support: If the issue persists despite ensuring the above points, consider reaching out to Google Business support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation.

Does Moz Local update/correct business listings?
Moz Local distributes your business listing to the important data providers, but what if your business information is already in their database? Does Moz Local update this info for me, or am I still required to go through the manual process of doing this myself on the data providers website (for example, Yelp or Hotfrog)?

Linking Google Business Page to Moz Local?
I'm working on updating an existing Moz Local account, and one of the listings says that there is "No listing found on Google." However, there is a Google Business page for this listing, it just isn't linked to my account. And the only option Moz gives me is to "create listing" on Google, which takes me to the page to create a Google business listing. So my question is this: how do I link an existing Google Business page to a Moz local listing that is already mostly set up?
