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!

Unsolved Moz Local business listing
Hello, I just signed up for Moz local, when will all of the directories promised be populated with the information I filled out in the dashboard? It is my understanding, I just fill out my profile on Moz local and all the business listing will be automatically created and updated for me. or do I need to create the account on for example Manta and Forsquare and then you will update the existing account. Please reply back to me with clear answer and instructions to my question. Thank you!

How Can We Get Listed On Acxiom?
We subscribe to MOZ local. We are listed on all major directories except for Acxiom. Will MOZ Local eventually distribute our information to Acxiom? We have subscribed for about a month. Is there a faster way to get listed on Axciom? Thanks, Alan

Does purchasing a Moz Local listing allow you to report old incorrect addresses?
I know this is pretty basic, but I've had trouble finding a way to report old, incorrect addresses. It almost seems like they want you to purchase a second listing to claim that one. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Does the "Unmanaged" number go up immediately after submission?
I just submitted a CSV file with the information about 3 businesses to Moz Local, but I can't tell if it went through properly. The page gave me a message saying "0 are ready to publish. 0 need validation", and didn't list any errors in my listings. However, the number next to "Unmanaged" is still a 0. I know from looking at some of the other questions on here that from the time that Moz sends the information out, it can take a few weeks for the listings to propagate. But I'm not sure whether or not it's supposed to take some amount of time for uploaded listings to show up on here as Unmanaged listings. Should I try resubmitting, or does it just take a few minutes/hours for unmanaged listings to show up?

Moz Local and Google+ Listing Issue
Hey Guys, I wonder if anyone can help me. I have already contacted the moz support team but they were no help. I am extremely disappointed with their service so far. Now to verify the listing on Moz Local, they say that you either fix the Google Listing or correct the CSV so it matches the Google listing. - I corrected the CSV to match the Google listing. Since the FAQ states that you can updated the listing at anytime by uploading an we CSV file, I did not see a problem with this. However, After contacting support they told me that the FAQ was incorrect and that you can't just update the CSV, you actually have to also manually update the Google listing. My Google local listing has the wrong information listed. We do not have control of this listing I have been trying to claim it, I have also already contacted Google Local help but it's a lost cause so far. So I am asking, How are you guys claiming your Google listings when the listings are already claimed. Also I have already been submitting changes to Google Map Maker but change keep getting denied. Any help is appreciated.
