Submission Question for MOZ Local - Potential Issue with Submission and Facebook

[rosemontmedia]

I will be setting up a MOZ Local account for a client with two locations.  My question/concern with the facebook page matching up with the information submitted for the business. This plastic surgery practice has two locations but their facebook page only allows for one address.  Could the secondary location submission possibly be rejected due to the address not matching the information on the facebook page?

Thanks for your help!

Hey There!

I'm glad you've asked about this. From your description, it sounds to me like you may not actually be running the 'right' type of Facebook page for the businesses in question. Moz Local validates against Facebook Place pages only - not social/brand-type pages. In order for validation to succeed, you would need to have a unique Facebook Place for each of business locations. Facebook Place pages can typically be identified by the fact that they have:

• Reviews

• A map

• Complete name, address, phone number, website

• Visits (not just likes)

If you discover that you need to change the type of Facebook page for a business, you can investigate this directly with Facebook by going to:

Click on the heading ‘How do I add a map or address to my page?’ to see Facebook’s guidelines for changing the type of page.

Alternatively, we can validate against a Google+ Local/Google My Business page, instead of Facebook, but likewise, each location will need to have a unique page, and the pages must be postcard-verified with Google in order for us to see them.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. If you need to show me the Facebook page in question, and don't want to post it publicly, you can PM me. You can also start a ticket at our Help Hub for private assistance.
