How long do Facebook and Google pages have to be published before Moz can verify them?
-
Hi there. I've checked the forums and have seen similar questions, but couldn't find an answer in them. I have a listing that I imported from my Google My Business account, but it comes up as unverified for both Facebook and Google. Both pages exist, but have only been published for about 3 weeks. Both sites contain the accurate business information and are the appropriate types of pages, so the best I can determine from what I've read in the other posts is that "newly" published Facebook and Google pages may not be able to be verified by Moz Local.
So the question is, what is considered "newly published"?
The Facebook business page is: https://www.facebook.com/JTBentonConsulting/
The Google+ page is: https://plus.google.com/b/114469171569907148968/+JTBentonConsultingAdamstown?pageId=114469171569907148968&hl=en
The name registered for Google My Business is: J T Benton Consulting - Mobile Notary Public
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Lisa from the Moz help team here!
Sorry for the confusion about this! There's no set amount of time that it takes for us to find your new listings. We're generally waiting for the address to be confirmed by Google/Facebook and for them to add the listing to their API.
In some cases, though, there are other elements that prevent us from finding these sources. With your Facebook and Google Maps listings, you do seem to have hidden the address. This means that it is not shown to us so that we can find the listing and match it to Moz Local.
We use your Facebook and Google Maps listings to verify the address, which means it does need to be visible.

Moz Local - Hours
I didn't see this previously posted so regrets if it's been asked. I have a local client that runs a bar/restaurant open until 1 a.m. In setting up hours in the Moz Local tool, the day ends at midnight. What's the best way, using the tool, to display "4 p.m. - 1 a.m"?

Moz Local doesn't have Categories for my clients business
Moz Local doesn't have Categories for my clients business, for that matter neither does Google Business: Using the Moz category tool- and Superpages, where we have been listed for a long time, the following categories have no MOZ local or Google Equivalent. Millwright CRATES & CRATING INDUSTRIAL PACKING & CRATING CRANES, HOISTING, & RIGGING SERVICES MACHINERY MOVERS & ERECTORS EXPORT CONSULTANTS RIGGERS EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES this makes fitting into Local search very difficult at best. Since the Moving category is so crowded, and brings in 99 household moves to one legitimate industrial move or rigging jobs. So is it best just not to pay for Moz local? How do we get Moz Local and google to add these important industrial local categories?

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!
