        If Google Business disapproves your website's URL, it could be due to several reasons such as malformation, domain issues, or non-compliance with their guidelines. To address this:

        1. Proper Formatting: Ensure that your URL is correctly formatted. It should start with "http://" or "https://" and should be in a standard format without any unusual characters or spaces.

        2. Active URL: Make sure that your website is active and accessible. If it's down or under maintenance, Google may not approve it.

        3. Compliance with Guidelines: Check Google's guidelines for business listings and ensure that your website meets all the necessary requirements. This includes having accurate and up-to-date information, relevant content, and adhering to Google's policies regarding content and behavior.

        4. Domain Issues: Verify that there are no issues with your domain such as being flagged for malware, phishing, or other malicious activities. Also, ensure that your domain is not a subdomain or a free-hosted domain which Google may not approve.

        5. Contact Support: If the issue persists despite ensuring the above points, consider reaching out to Google Business support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation.

            Validating Google+ on Moz Local

            Hello, On Moz Local it is showing up an incorrect google listing for the business I work for. In my actual Google account there is only one Google listing and it is correct but this correct version doesn't appear on Moz Local. I have followed the criteria to meet your google listing so I am confused in what to do. Many thanks,
            Aqib

            Moz Local says Google + is 100% incomplete

            Hi all.  I've been trying to make improvements on my Local rankings as well as optimizing my website.  When using Moz Local a lot of great information comes up showing me what's incomplete, what's duplicated, etc. It's very helpful. But for the life of me I don't know why my Google Plus page is coming up as 100% incomplete.  I'm providing three links that possible will help.  Any suggestions would be welcome! This is a personal Google plus page.  https://plus.google.com/u/0/116619295168881896831/posts This is my Google + business page. https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/117236096564332197060/+WhitneyMediaProductionsSanford/posts?_ga=1.96663199.1853286446.1466307563 This is my verified Google My Business page.  https://business.google.com/b/117236096564332197060/dashboard/l/04609945530443583653 Thank you, Scott

            Moz Local Category Research Tool. I can't seem to find the URL?

            Did this go away? Or am I blind (very possible). Can someone provide the URL.

            Why is Moz local showing my google plus page as incomplete when it is 100% complete

            Hi all, New to using Moz Local and so far I like it - but some information is a bit confusing.  Specifically the "Incomplete" listings.  When I click on it - it shows my Google Plus page (which is verified) as being incomplete.  The reason provided is that Moz Local thinks I need to add 3 more categories, when in fact there are no more categories available on Google Plus. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.

            "We were unable to validate the following listings with Google or Facebook"

            Hi, I'm trying to submit the Moz Local service and it keeps saying unable to validate the listing even though our Facebook and Google accounts have been provided and match the listing. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to be struggling to find our listing for some reason.

            My client just updated his Google physical address. It shows up as unverified now. How long until Google verifies?

            How long will it take until my client's address is verified on Google and I can use Moz Local?
