      Hi all.  I've been trying to make improvements on my Local rankings as well as optimizing my website.  When using Moz Local a lot of great information comes up showing me what's incomplete, what's duplicated, etc. It's very helpful. But for the life of me I don't know why my Google Plus page is coming up as 100% incomplete.  I'm providing three links that possible will help.  Any suggestions would be welcome!

      This is a personal Google plus page.  https://plus.google.com/u/0/116619295168881896831/posts

      This is my Google + business page.

      This is my verified Google My Business page.  https://business.google.com/b/117236096564332197060/dashboard/l/04609945530443583653

      Thank you,

      Scott

          Hi Scott! Kristina from Moz's Help Team here.

          Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the trouble! Here's a short video with more information on how a Google+ page needs to be set up: https://seomoz.wistia.com/medias/izmwe6t66p.

          And here is a written-list of the criteria for those sources that will enable us to validate your listing:

          • The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local.
          • The primary phone number listed must be a local number, rather than a toll-free number.
          • The business must not be listed as a “service area business”. A service area business displays with the street address being hidden, as well as the listing not being surfaced through the Google Places API (which is where we pull the listing details from).
          • The listing must be verified by postcard. As a note, it may take a couple days after the postcard verification process for the listing to be available through the Google Places API.
          • The listing must be completely searchable through Google Maps, with the full NAP listed correctly.

          If you're still encountering issues after taking a look at those factors, then I'm certainly happy to investigate; I would just need you to shoot our team an email at help@moz.com including the name, address and phone number of the Moz Local listing, as well as the Google+ page for that listing, as you've provided here.

          I hope this helps! 
          -Kristina
