Multiple GMB Profiles

[JSammon512]

Hey everyone!

Thanks again in advance. We have a client that we are helping trying to for terms locally. His business moved a year and some change ago. We had been working independently to optimize a local listing which is ranking for terms. However, he had shared with us the graphic below telling us that there are still multiple listings hanging out there. Here's the graphic:

The closed address is their old address. So moving forward, what's the best way to proceed? Merge or delete all the listings?

The list above does not include the profile we've created and optimized so the duplicate listed first is probably a duplicate of the listing we are optimizing.

Many thanks in advance!!

John

@JSammon512, the first two aren't a concern, because they aren't live. You can just delete those from your (or your client's) account.

The third listing (the "Permanently Closed") you'll want marked as "Moved." You'll need to ask Google to do that for you: Move a business on Google - Google My Business Help

Solid advice from Phil there. That's exactly what I would do as well
