Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi there! Thanks so much for reaching out - Sam from Moz's Help Team here! So, Moz Local is a real-time service that instantly distributes your business listing data to both data aggregators and online directories - but each of our distribution partners has their own approach for processing new and updated listings on their platform. For most partners, new data is published within 4-5 days, and the majority becomes fully accurate within a few weeks. Given how closely we track accuracy, we have seen instances where some listings have taken as much as 8-12 weeks to become fully accurate. If you're noticing an unusual delay, please let us know by emailing help@moz.com so that we can reach out and investigate if there are any underlying issues. You can read more about update time frames and what you can do to help this along on our Help Hub here. If you have any follow up questions, just let us know!

Hi there, Sam from Moz's Help Team here! Sorry for the confusion! The "Check Listing" tool is populated with all of the various NAP (name/address/phone) matches that we could find out on the web among all of the different directories that we report on. So, while we can't amend that list directly, the process of submitting your accurate business information to each of these directories will inherently work to consolidate the list. Additionally, going through the "Duplicates" section of a listing and closing extraneous listings can also aid this effort! When selecting a listing to purchase, you'll want to start with the most correct "Verified" listing available; those are the ones whose information is being pulled directly from a verified Facebook Places or Google Maps page. From there, you'll begin correcting and assimilating listings to that chosen set of correct NAP info. Seeing multiple "verified" sources will indicate multiple Google/Facebook listings, which you would have to close or remove directly so you have one result for each service. This is where we "import" your NAP data from to submit to our data partners. Let me know if you have any other questions!
