Yeah you should change them back before setting up a new listing.

Correct. Just make sure the service areas don't overlap and you're fine.

Thought this would be a great discussion. There are two very different sites here but both are in the business directory space and both claim to showcase the best businesses. Why do you think one is losing so hard while the other is winning?

Yes it is :)

Thanks for letting us know! I think one of my team was asking about this just yesterday.

Just saw this from @LilyRayNYC : I know Glenn Gabe, Barry Schwartz and some others have shared that there was significant ranking volatility on Google since about ~Jan 21 (a couple weeks after the December core update was officially done). I dug in today to look at some of the affected sites...

So weird. Not something I've seen yet.

I have one site in particular that I've been watching that declined quite a bit in January. It seems to have been at the beginning of the month and all organic movement (local pack rankings are fine).

Are you talking about currently? This is from the 2025 update. We should get a new thread going if you're talking about currently. Share some examples of what you're seeing and I'll look at it.

Yeah I was in London last month and no one there had heard of it either since it's only in the USA.

They are AI-powered local packs that replace traditional local packs. They are currently on about 8% of the reports we're tracking. Only on mobile and only in the USA.

I would suggest contacting support. That's definitely too long.

Yes! I think @GMBapi.com tracks this. Do you guys have a chart that shows the last few months?

If you add the address, it does move the listing, it's when you remove it again that it screws it up. The moment you clear the new address, the listing reverts back to ranking at the original one you verified the listing with.
