Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David Sorry to hear your metrics have not moved. Usually if you do not see a change in your DA, it means we haven't discovered new links from high authority sites. Just so you know, here's how we compile our index: We grab the most recent index. We take the top 10 billion URLs with the highest MozRank (with a fixed limit on some of the larger domains). We start crawling from the top down until we've crawled 90,000,000,000 pages (which is about 35% the amount in Google's index). Therefore, if the site is not linked to by one of these seed URLs (or one of the URLs linked to by them in the next update) then it won't show up in our index. Other tools, such as Webmaster Tools, Ahrefs, and Majestic will alway show more link data as they target the quantity of links, while OSE focuses more on quality and Domain Authority. It’s best to use all the tools you can to obtain a full backlink profile. Keep in mind you do not have to have a paid subscription for us to crawl your links. We are crawling constantly and your subscription only unlocked more reporting options and access to see more data. You can monitor your DA without a subscription for free. What you can do is search the sites you are building your links on. Look at their domain authority and see if they are considered to be influential for your links. If you are not building new links and growing the amount of linking root domains, then you will not see any change of your DA. Compare your site with your competitors, look for the # of linking root domains, # of linking C blocks, and total links. Take a look at the DA of their linking root domains and see if you can build your links to those sites as well. The more, the better! For Moz Local. I was able to force the update to change the number. This has now been submitted. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

Richard we do not allow 800 numbers that our partners do not accept. If we allowed the 800 numbers we would the pass the details along to our partners and get rejected. Unfortunately at this time there is no override for this requirement as if we did bypass it your data would still be stuck in limbo.

Hello James, Maybe you can help.  My clients company name is slightly different on their Facebook page than on their Moz local.  I would change this but we have more than 200 like to the page and Facebook wont allow me to change it now.  Is there anything we can do to correct this? Thanks, Ron

Thanks so much, Ryan and Alex for the information. I can see I need to do some more research, so I appreciate the links and advice. We're using Yahoo Web Hosting and the Small Business Plan so, unfortunately as best I can tell, there's no support for 301 redirects. I didn't realize this was not a feature as our site is fairly small and I've never needed to redirect anything before. I've been thinking about moving the site for a long time and now I'm thinking I should step that up.  I've had the preferred Domain name set up in Web Master Tools for years. I don't see anything else there that seems to help.  Thanks again!
