Tracking Number YP

[scott315]

I am straightening out a clients listing. He has Yellow Pages submitting to a few places like City Search and wherever else they do and they are using a tracking number.

It's showing in Moz Local as inconsistent because of this but they claim that they have implemented something in the back end where the search engines read the real number for consistency and know that its a tracking number but the public sees the tracking number.

Anyone heard of this and is it still hurting the listing?

They called me from the clients office and had a conferance call in front of him assuring him that the listing were fine and that the search engines still read his real number. If this is the case would Moz ever be able to do this so it doesn't show as inconsistant?

Thanks Scott

Ps.. he sent me a PDF that they use to search that shows the number they use as ok with some icon but did flag other tracking numbers out there that were not theirs.

Hi Scott,

If you write in to help[at]moz.com we can take a look at your listing and see why there would be an inconsistency in Moz Local for your particular situation.

Cheers,

Holly

Its in YP becuase they have a tracking number. Question I am asking is YP says that they have a way for the search engines to see that it is tracking but the search engines read the real number while the public reads the tracking.

i was trying to get my client to get rid of the tracking number but this is what the sales rep told him

So just seeing if there is any truck to this or if anyone has heard that hear.?
