Moz Local is a location-based service, which means that you must purchase a subscription for any location you wish to manage through the tool. You can manage multiple locations within the same dashboard and login, but each one will need to have its own subscription.

With the bulk purchase option in Moz Local, you have the ability to purchase multiple locations in one transaction.

Bulk purchase is available as long as you are planning to purchase the same level plan for every location in the transaction and all the locations are within the same country. If you need to purchase locations in different countries or at different plan levels, those will need to be purchased in separate transactions.

You can view our various subscription levels and their prices per location on our pricing page.

When purchasing locations in bulk, a CSV upload is required and must follow the format outlined below.

Column A: Business name

Column B: Business address line 1

Column C: Business address line 2 (If the business does not have an address line 2, leave this cell blank but do not remove the column from the CSV)

Column D: City

Column E: Postal code

Column F: State or Province

Column G: Country (2 letter country designation, e.g, US, UK, or CA)

If you’re receiving an error when attempting to purchase via bulk upload, this indicates that there is something misformatted in your CSV which is inhibiting our ability to properly parse the file. Within the tool, you should see a red error message that notes what the specific issue is and for which line of the CSV.

To resolve the issue, please update the CSV to account for error messages and then re-upload the new file to continue the purchase process.

Once you have purchased your new Moz Local locations via bulk upload, you will need to make sure your location Profiles are as complete as possible.

The following fields, at minimum, must be filled out in order to ensure submission to all directories:

• Business Name
• Business Address
