Still Ranking for Old Address

[fredmcjunkins]

Hello, 2 months ago I adjusted my SAB, address hidden to a new address/location across the country. I've updated the GBP listing to the new service area, all of the links, the structured data and adjusted the pin slightly in Yext but we still are appearing in the local pack for the previous area and for 'Brand Original City'. Although I am happy I did not trigger a suspension, we still want to rank in the area of our new office. Any ideas on how to get this GBP associated with the new area? I am tempted to expose the address but that would be my last resort.

@JoyHawkins created a post/tutorial about this process last year:

3 Steps to Move Your Service Area Business Google Business Profile Without Destroying Your Ranking

Many business owners aren’t sure what to do when they operate out of their house and then have to move. In many cases, these moves aren’t close by and the business owner is trying to figure out if they have to start from scratch.

Thanks for the response but our approach allowed us to not go through the reverification process. Hoping for some commentary on if you already adjusted the address.
