        Here's another Moz Q&A connected to this question (link), the answer on the link goes into a little bit more detail (and there are some great follow up questions) but the answer to your questions is it can take from 1-8 weeks to have Moz's info updated with your changes. This has to do with the back and forth Moz has with the directory listings which can take some time.

        I know this can sometimes be frustrating but you should keep in mind that if you change your Google business page and it looks good in Google that's what matters. Moz's tools are great for providing additional information and helping us analyze our progress but for the most part they don't effect our bottom line. If we make changes and Google/Bing recognizes the change then that's what will drive results, not whether Moz recognizes those changes.

        Hopefully that helps!

          Moz needs to be correct / up to date in order to push the correct data to aggregators.
