I claimed the rogue listing, then Google had me add areas served to it before they would remove it as a duplicate. Thankfully Google finally removed it!

Thank you Stefan. I have access to both profiles (both verified) and I already filled out the form giving Google both GBP links and asking them to merge the two. Google responded with this: You own both the main and the duplicate profiles: You can remove the extra profile from your account...

@Stefan Somborac Thank you! Both businesses are now verified. To merge the two listings, I've found that Google wants me to 'make a suggestion' to merge them. But the link Google lists to merge doesn't allow me to report anything. Or do I 'report an issue' while accessing the rogue listing?

"If Google refuses to merge, you'll have to remove the address so you have two nearly identical SABs and try again. (And for this to work, you might have to verify that rogue profile as an SAB first.)" Update: Google has removed the duplicate listings physical address, but still shows the...

My contractor client has a verified Google Business Profile that doesn't show his address. Somehow Google created a new listing (no one has access to it) showing his address. I asked Google to remove it, flagging it as a duplicate, which they denied. I sent them another email with a screenshot...

Thank you. So if the company is located in a small town, do you still think it's necessary to optimize every service page in this manner? Or is creating a service area page for the town sufficient?

For local SEO, is it necessary to optimize every service page to include the city in the Title, H1, content and meta description? For example, Furnace repair boston ma, furnace installation boston ma, etc. Client only has one location and we include the city state in the schema, mention it on...

Something similar happened to me when I was using the Chrome browser. It worked when I tried again with Firefox.

Thank you, Colan. To clarify, the live version of the second location I want removed that's showing in Maps, is ONLY marked as closed within the GBP dashboard. (It's 'pending verification' because the address was changed to the new correct address of the business--which will make it a...

Client has two business listings in their account. One was recently verified with their new address, so that one is fine. The second office is now closed. The second listing which is showing in Maps, had a different address, but someone changed it to the new address (duplicate) so now it's...

We have a client who is rebranding their company and we will be rebuilding their website. Their current domain is more than 15 years old and the website is ranking well. If we rebuild their website using their brand new domain, will they lose the great search position they have now? Of course...

This issue continues: client has THREE GMB listings. Two are duplicates. All three have different addresses. I was able to claim one of the dupes with the different address, I then requested that Google merge them. I also asked them to remove the other listing I couldn't claim. Multiple back...

After claiming the duplicate, I requested that Google merge the two listings and delete the third one. I have followed up repeatedly but Google hasn't even responded. Is there anything else I can do?

So to clarify, ask them to merge both listings using this form? Sign in - Google Accounts ? Thanks.
