Hi,
Before I reach out to Google on this matter, I would like to ask for the board's input first, as some of you may have already dealt with a similar situation before.
This is the situation:
1: Main company: Acme Media
Has its own business address, website, phone number, and GBP profile and reviews.
2: DBA (Doing Business As) company: Smith Consulting
Has a different business address, a different website, different phone number and GBP profile and reviews.
The DBA business Smith Consulting is created and operated by the same founder of Acme Media.
The services provided are similar, in the same field of expertise and all reviews left on the DBA GBP profile refer to the owner of the primary business.
If I understand correctly Google can not merge profiles / reviews if it involves two separate business entities / owners with different address info.
But what if the other business profile is managed by the same owner, clients interacted with the same owner and the secondary business is a DBA business of the primary business?
Does that change things? - Can reviews on the DBA GBP be transferred over to the primary GBP profile?
Thanks in advance for any insights and previous experiences you may have dealing with a review merge scenario like this.
Have a nice day!
