Moz Local Time Frame

[RelativeHealing]

I must have missed it. How long does it take Moz Local to do its thing once the service has been paid?

Bump...

A simple response will do. Does propagation take roughly a month, a couple weeks, etc. ?

Hi Min,

Good question! To get an answer, please start a support ticket at  https://moz.com/help/contact

I want to be sure you get the reply you need!

Update from the Moz Support Team: Please read our update timeframes guide for avoiding delay.

Hi Min,

Thanks for reaching out!

The time it takes our partners to update the listing really depends on whether or not they have an API. If they do have an API, the listing will be updated pretty much immediately. If they run on a traditional database (Acxiom is one), it can take up to 4 weeks.

Let us know if you have any other questions and hope you have a great day!

If we successfully uploaded a csv and paid, will we be notified when listings have gone live?

Hi Yellabird,

You'll be able to track the progress of your listings being submitted by us and updated by our partners by logging into your Moz Local account and looking at the row of little circles next to your business information in the dashboard. You can mouse over each circle to see what it means.

I also want to update this thread with new information regarding typical time frames for achieving completion. This is really more like 8 weeks than 4 weeks.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply.  Typically how many citations get built utilizing this service?

Thanks for the info Sam and Miriam.

I want to give my feeback and understanding of Moz Local. I believe Moz Local works and it's helped me in resolving all duplicates and inconsistencies but I can honestly say it's been more then two months and it still has not fully updated with the main players ((waiting) Infogroup, (waiting) Neustar Localeze, (updated) Acxiom, and (updated) Factual).

If anyone is interested in Moz Local then it's a great base to assist in laying the foundation information but keep in mind not all of the information in your CSV file will load evenly across the board. I've had experiences where the map data is understood on one aggregator and ignored on others. I've had the same experience with other data especially photos.

Moz Local is very good at laying at base but don't consider it to be a 100% solution, it does require additional updating on your part.

Hi Yellabird,

MozLocal will get you listed with these 7 'big boys':

Infogroup
Acxiom
Nuestar/Localeze
Factual
Foursquare
Superpages
Best of the Web

Hi Min,
Thanks so much for providing your honest feedback about your experience with Moz Local. If you created an account more than 8 weeks ago and aren't seeing completion on any of the 7 supported partners, I recommend you create a support ticket to have someone on the team look into it.
