Has anyone used Moz local for their clients?
-
If you already have accounts with some of the local directories can you still use Moz local or is it just for business who have never claimed their business?
I'd like to offer this as a service to clients but they will see it's Moz local and just do it themselves. Anyone know if there is a branded version coming soon?

If your client has listed with every place that Moz says they get listings then it looks like your client has already gone the DIY route as mentioned on the Moz Local "How" page...
Still, as a designer you might be able to tie in something like photography services to make their local listings look all the better. Google has been emphasizing higher res especially: https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038221?hl=en, "For best results, add photos that are at least 2,000 px wide and no wider than 2:1 ratio."

What if the client already has accounts with all those directories? Can we still use it?

Hi Susan. When using Moz local you'll actually need a a verified Google or Facebook listing as per the help doc: "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." (https://mza.seotoolninja.com/local/how) This allows all the separate ones to line up with each other.
As for an offering to your clients, adding an additional management fee is usually worth it to most of them in cost savings of their own time.

Backlinks are not indexed in moz
I have been working for the past few months on building quality backlinks manually. I decided to take a moz trial membership but Moz doesn't my backlinks. I added Link tracking list of about 27 high DA that backlinks to my website https://multiapkclub.com and even all of that shows 'link doesn't point to my website' Is this some kind of bug because this type of links are indexed for moz themselves

Moz Local not recognizing my CSV Listing File After Multiple Attempts
I'm trying to get Moz local to recognize my csv file, and its not seeming to do so. I've tried using Google Spreadsheets, OpenOffice Calc, and have even used a Moz Local generator in Google Docs. I've tried this a dozen times now, and none of them seem to work, and leave me with the error -- We did not recognize the file type you uploaded. Please make sure the file you upload is in CSV (Comma Delimited) format. You may need to re-save or export the spreadsheet as a CSV. Please note that the column headers are required, and must not be changed. Feel free to use our template to fill out your listing info.

Moz Local Distribution Network
I'm looking for some documentation on Moz Local about the distribution network. I know Moz submits directly to:
Moz Local | | rustmedia
Infogroup
Acxiom
Nuestar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web However, Moz doesn't seem to provide documentation on what sites will be updated from their distribution network. I need to know how this entire distribution network compares to the Check Listing graph provided by Moz Local. For example, I know Yahoo is part of Localeze's distribution network. What sites in the Check Listing graph are not part of the entire distribution network?0
