How long does it take for Moz Local to spring into action?

[Daeta]

I setup Moz local a few days ago.  Verified my 4 Square account and uploaded my location.  I've been checking back regularly and nothing has happen.  It has not created anything for me or done anything?  Am I missing something.  The video with the veterinarian made it look so simple...

Generally it takes 8 to 20 weeks for local citations to show up in search results. I would not expect MOZ to have a faster approval and listing on that end. But again MOZ can do some spectacular things, it is just that this is on the directories end to list the citations.

Just be glad you have Moz local - us poor Brits are suffering without it!

Update from the Moz Support Team: Please read our update timeframes guide for avoiding delay.

Hi Daeta,

Thanks for reaching out!

The time it takes our partners to update the listing really depends on whether or not they have an API. If they do have an API, the listing will be updated pretty much immediately. If they run on a traditional database (Acxiom is one), it can take up to 4 weeks.

Let us know if you have any other questions and hope you have a great day!
