One split still missing: in Performance, put profile views next to calls and website clicks for the same months. Views level but actions down means the pack is still shown and the click goes to the AI box or the ads above it. Views down too means the profile shows less often than the average...

Brian, I put that badly. I meant any stray duplicate listing under the old name, not the profile you're ranking with. Jason's order is the right one: create the new profile at the new address, get it verified, ask support to move the reviews across, and only then deal with the old one. Closing...

A hidden address still anchors the profile to the address Google holds on file, so ranking states away means Google has tied it to another address, probably the earlier business from your old thread. I'd first search Maps for any listing still sitting in that state under the owner's or old...

In my experience the page the profile links to does most of the work, the service pages come next, and the rest of the site matters far less. Put the main service in that page's title and H1, the address exactly as on the profile, and a list of services each linking to its own page. First thing...

Been through this a few times and the Business Redressal Form on its own is basically a black hole, so do not lean on it alone. Two things actually move the needle. First, the virtual office angle is your strongest card. If Satellite Office openly advertises virtual or co-working space at that...

Right now I'd treat any address edit on an established SAB as high-risk. The reverification is the real problem, not the address itself. People are passing the video and still getting suspended a few days later after doing everything by the book, so don't assume clean paperwork protects you...

That residential address showing publicly would be my first suspect. Google has been re-checking older listings, and a home-based business that displays its address instead of hiding it as a service-area business can get flagged now even if it verified fine before. So the cause and the fix may...

This is a known Google-side bug right now, not something wrong with your listings or your access. The reviews are all still there and safe, it is purely a display problem in the web dashboard. Two things working for people while it clears: reply from the Google Business Profile app on your phone...

Full disclosure: I build a reporting tool in this space, so weigh that accordingly - but the answer is the same whatever you use: for a one-off move I wouldn't buy listings software at all. Those tools are built for agencies pushing hundreds of locations, and support is slow everywhere, not just...

Before the forms, try the built-in route: open the profile in Maps, click "Own this business?", and request access. Google emails whoever controls it now, and they get 3 days to respond. A hijacker usually ignores it, and after that you can often verify ownership yourself and take it straight...
