Does SEO moz local really work?

[coolhandluc]

I have tried out the SEO moz local tool as I wanted to test how accurate it is and potentially sale it to some of my clients.
I seem to be falling short of the 100% profile completion as the tool can't see I have a page set up for my  business in facebook at https://www.facebook.com/mybusiness.
I have even deleted the page in question and tried to recreate it from scratch following the link from the SEO moz local that that says my facebook profile is incomplete but it' still not working. Has anyone experienced the same issue or am i doing something wrong?

Hi Neil

Our Moz Local tool is largely a search tool so it will depend on Facebook and any other service to return the data we are querying for your business name.

Here are the reasons we outline in our FAQ for not being able to find them on Facebook or Google: https://moz.com/help/guides/local/listing#frequently-asked-questions

Facebook

• Must be a Facebook local business page. An easy way to see if your page is a place/local business is to see if it has the following: About, Address, Hours, Contact and Reviews.

• Make sure that your business’s name, address and phone number are listed exactly as you would like them to appear in your Moz Local listing

• Ensure that the page is publicly accessible (Check with incognito browser to see if the page is available prior to logging into Facebook. Also, possibly give a screenshot of a functionally configured Facebook page’s privacy settings.)

• Make sure to have at least 2 check-ins to verify the physical location of your business. Not sure what to do here? Head to Facebook's resources to see how to let people check in and how you can check in.

Google+

• Must be a Google+ local business page. Look for the ‘Review Summary’ section on the page. Some other things to look for: Verified check mark next to the page image, Address, Hours and Reviews. Here's an example of what the page looks like.

• Make sure that your business’s name, address and phone number are listed exactly as you would like them to appear in your Moz Local listing. Note that service-area businesses (SAB) without their full address listed will run into complications with Moz Local since not all of our partners support SAB's.

• Must be a listed as a “verified local business". Remember that check mark we mentioned earlier? That's what you need!

Hope this helps
