      I'm sure the answer is pretty simple, but how are we supposed to report an old location as closed in Moz Local? I'd like to mark an old address as closed in all of the major data providers. Of course, I can claim the new location, but I do I need to claim the old location and then somehow mark it closed?

      When I do a search with Moz, it gives me five results for a doctor who has a single location now (I'm not posting the actual name because I just don't want this forum to appear for searches for the doctor):

      1. <address>Dr. Doctor Name, DMD Verified
        Old Address 
        Current Phone</address>

      2. <address>Doctor Name, DMD Verified
        Current Address 
        Current Phone</address>

      3. <address>**Periodontist, Doctor Name, DMD, PC **Verified
        Current Address (Alternate City Name) 
        Current Phone</address>

      4. <address>Doctor Name, DMD
        Current Address (Alternate City Name) 
        Current Phone</address>

      5. <address>Doctor Name
        Old Address
        Current Phone</address>

      Any help would be much appreciated.

      Thanks!

      Tom

        Hi Tom!

        When you look at a Moz Local listing in the Check Listing tool, you can see a list of duplicate listings that pull up in the Duplicates tab. Here you can request removal of these duplicates, which would most likely include the older locations of your most recent listing.

        Can you write into help@moz.com with your specific example so that we can take a look and figure out the best way for you to proceed? Thanks!
