      I've just done a local business listing check and it's come back with an inconsistency on the address.  I can't understand where the inconsistency it as Google haven't verified the address yet.  I've tried to rectify it but can't seem to correct it.  Any suggestions please?

        Hi there!

        Could you send us an email to help@moz.com with the name, address, and phone number of your business so that we can take a look? If you have the direct Moz Local link, that would help as well. Thanks!

          shogajen, consistency with your local business listings is extremely important, as the Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) data should be the same on all listings. One of the ways that the search engines use as a ranking factor is that consistency: if they see another address, phone number, or company name, they might not give you "credit" for that listing or citation.

          When it comes to the local business listing check, they don't only check the Google listing, other listings are checked. Also, even though your business isn't verified yet, Google will most likely have your company NAP data from another source.

          In order to correct any listings, you'll need to verify the listing first, and then you should be able to log in and correct it. If it's a duplicate listing or an incorrect listing (an additional listing), then there are ways to flag listings.

          The other option is to work with a service such as Moz Local, Yext, Advice Local (our service) that have direct access to update the listings at Google and other sites.

            Thanks for getting back to me.  This is the link.

            https://moz.com/local/details/JTI1NUIlMjUyMkxlb3MlMjUyMHByb3BlcnR5JTI1MjBkZXZlbG9wbWVudCUyNTIwbHRkJTI1MjIlMjUyQyUyNTIyY3cxMiUyNTIwMWhyJTI1MjIlMjUyQyUyNTIyTGVvJTI1MjdzJTI1MjBQcm9wZXJ0eSUyNTIwRGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQlMjUyMEx0ZCUyNTIyJTI1MkMlMjUyMlVuaXQlMjUyMDIlMjUyMiUyNTJDJTI1MjJDVzEyJTI1MjAxSFIlMjUyMiUyNTJDJTI1MjIwNzkzODYxMzk0OSUyNTIyJTI1NUQ=

            I will also e mail moz as requested.

            I realise that replicating the exact information is important and this is why I'm trying to make sure that there are no inconsistencies.

            Thanks again,

            Jennifer
