MOZ Local "unable to validate the following listings with Google or Facebook" ?
-
I am trying to upload my local csv file and I have no errors. I have a listing on Google + and Facebook and they look like they match the file exactly. I do not want to setup another list to create duplicates. What do i do?
Any help please

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble with Moz Local! I think I found the issues here :).
For Google+, we'll need you to be registered as a 'verified local business' in order to show up in the Moz Local system. Here's a link to get that process started: https://support.google.com/business/answer/2911778?hl=en&ref_topic=4596754
On Facebook, it looks like your page's name is listed as 'SearchOutsidethebox.com by Jeremy Wood', whereas on Moz Local your name is listed as 'SearchOutsidetheBox.com'. You'll just want to make sure that those match up as well, and we should be able to find the page in no time!
I hope this helps! Enjoy your day, and keep on Mozzing on!

Hey Jeremy
I think the problem is that your Google+ page needs to be a business page and it also needs the address of the business added there.
You can make a business page here: http://www.google.com/business/
Google will have to verify that you are at that address and then it will take some time to update after that, so if you re-upload the CSV and it's still telling you that, it might just take some time for everything to show that it is in order.
Hope that helps!

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.

Odd address is not getting reported properly in Moz Local UK
I have a client address (1-8 Russel Square) but Moz local picks it up as either 18 (when comparing duplicates) or drops the number altogether (in the actual listing info in Moz Local). How can I get this corrected?

Moz Local Listing Score
Hi there, I purchased MozLocal for my firm on February 27th, about 7 and a half weeks ago to the day. While I've been waiting for the results to populate and the program to do it's work, I've been manually updating all the other listings with photos and categories based off the "missing info" Moz Local provides. Throughout the last almost 8 weeks, my listing score has increased a total of 1%. At this point, should I expect to see any further results from this tool? I'm still seeing "Update in progress", yet it seems enough time has passed for at least something to happen. After two months of waiting, I'm wondering if I would have been better off updating these listings myself. Does anyone have any idea when/if I should be seeing any results?

How long till Moz Local takes to populate?
It has taken me some time to make sure all fields were correct in order to upload the CVC file to Moz Local. Because I hope to use this tool for multiple clients, how long should I tell them to anticipate before the listings show up correctly? Is there a $49 charge per business site that I use Moz Local for? Is there a limit to how many sites I can do?

Anyone else having trouble uploading CSV file to Moz Local?
I have filled out the listings template provided by Moz Local for creating listings. I uploaded a week or so ago and when I went to check listings today, none were created. So I tried to upload the CSV file again, and it is giving me an error saying "Make sure you are uploading a CSV (Comma Delimited) file and that you include the column titles. If you are using Microsoft Excel, please export your spreadsheet as a CSV file first.". I have saved it as a CSV in both Excel and Google sheets, but neither file seems to be recognized by Moz Local as a CSV. Is this happening because of the previously uploaded file, or did it never get uploaded in the first place and I just missed the error message the first time around? Anyone else having problems uploading their CSV and found a way to get it accepted? Is there any other way to create a CSV from an excel file other than Excel or Google Sheets? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Localeze Listing Managed By Someone Else?
According to Localeze, we don't have a listing for our Tampa office. However, according to Moz Local, it is managed by someone else. What does that mean? Is Moz Local telling me that their services can't manage Localese and I need to do that listing myself or that someone else has control of our listing and I need to figure out how to get it from them? Or, does it mean something else entirely? Thanks, Ruben

Can I pre-select which citation services I want to set up with Moz local.
I have used Yext and they tried to connect you with citation services that have no relevance to our website. I cancelled Yext. .
