Resubmitting to Moz Local
-
Hello,
We use Moz Local to manage local listings for our clients. What are the best practices for resubmitting once there are changes made to the data? Should I resubmit all data even if there aren't any changes to most of the locations? Would there be a time frame that I should have for this ie: Once a quarter, Once a year?
Thanks!

Thanks Lisa!
To elaborate, NAP changes (name, address, phone, website) must be made through our verification partners, which are Google and Facebook. These are sources we use to verify the quality of the location data submitted to Moz Local. You can see which verification partner a business location is using right in the dashboard as seen here. Once the change is made on Google or Facebook, Moz Local will automatically detect the change and resubmit the corrected information to our partners.
Non-NAP changes (social links, images, etc) can be submitted through the Moz Local dashboard.
If you're not making any changes, then there's no need to resubmit since all data is re-submitted to our partners every 1-2 weeks, automatically. You can verify this by looking at the accuracy metrics in your dashboard.
To be extra thorough, if you're making a change to your NAP, you can add the old business information to the "alternates" feature in the duplicates section. Though we will push the corrected listing information to all of our partners, this can be a way to be extra sure your old NAP information isn't popping up as a duplicate elsewhere online.
Hope this helps!

It’s confusing.
You have to go to the Moz Local Overview page and click Start Using Moz Local.
Then click on your published listing and “edit my listing” which pops up next to your current score.
Your business listing data will be displayed so you can edit whatever has changed.
As Lisa suggests, update it whenever there has been a change to your business local data and resubmit. Moz will push the updates out to it's network and they'll pick it up from there. There's no reason to wait.

Hi there Cathleen!
Moz Local actually automatically pushes out your listing information to our directory partners on a continual basis! That means if you make any changes to your listing, the tool takes care of all resubmissions on your behalf.
I hope that helps!

Unsolved can I set up a white-labeled version of Moz local
I am wondering if Moz Pro account users have the option to set up a white-labeled version of the Moz Local Listings Checker? And if so, how? It would be an excellent tool to entice customers to sign up for our services.

Moz Local showing wrong Acxiom Listing
Hey there -- The Acxiom listing that is showing up for a client in Moz Local isn't the clients business. It's showing a different law office. The only overlapping data is the city, state and zip code. For reference, the client has claimed their Acxiom business listing. Anything I can do to fix this? I can't even click on the listing from Moz.

Moz Local Not Accepting Full Address
Hi, So we've just purchased the Agency version of Moz Local and decided to submit our agency first. Moz pulls addresses from Google and Facebook, both of which have the correct address for our business. However, when I search for our agency on Moz Local, a line from our address is missing. Moz doesn't allow you edit most of the address for spam reasons, but it lets you enter a manual 'Address Line 2', which is perfect as that's what's missing.... Unfortunately, it appears this has a very low character limit and it only accepts two of the three words in the address - 'Teesside Industrial' instead of 'Teesside Industrial Estate'! For local SEO, your address needs to be perfectly consistent across every single directory... so how do I overcome this if Moz won't allow me to enter our correct address? Cheers, Lewis

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?
