Can I delete my Google listing Google Business Profile?
Deleting a Google Business Profile from your Google account
If you no longer want to manage a Business listing, you can remove the content and managers. You will then no longer be able to manage its information on Google Maps / Search.
To do this, you must have access (administrator or owner) to the Business listing and, if so, you must:
Sign in to the Google account associated with your Business listing and click on the Business listing.
Click the 3 dots at the top right of your listing > “Remove profile content and managers”
If the Business must appear as permanently closed, you must mark your Business as permanently closed before removing your access to the listing.
If you mark your Business as closed, it will not disappear immediately from Maps. It will gradually disappear from search results and then be completely removed.
Deleting the Google Business Profile account does not mean the Business listing will be removed from Google Maps / Search.
Deleting a Google Business Profile from Google Maps / Search
According to Google policies, it is not possible to delete a Business listing that has operated at a specific location. This ensures users know a Business existed at that location, even if it is no longer active today.
Google does not allow the complete deletion of Business listings that have existed at a given address, unless they violate Google’s rules. The best solution is to mark the listing as "Permanently closed." This gradually reduces its visibility until disappearance.
However, you can mark your Business listing as permanently closed, which removes it from active search results while preserving the reviews history.
Temporarily closed vs. permanently closed
| Temporarily closed | Permanently closed |
Visibility | Always visible on Google Maps | Marked with a “Permanently closed” label |
Reviews | Preserved | Preserved |
Use cases | Renovation, seasonal closure, temporary interruption | Business permanently closed |
How to mark a listing as permanently closed / temporarily closed?
This action can be done directly on your Partoo platform:
Go to your Partoo
Find the Business you want to close and click on it.
Scroll down to “Advanced settings”
Choose the status “Permanently closed” or “Temporarily closed”
Click “Save”
The information will be sent to Google.
What happens after marking as permanently closed?
It is recommended to wait one month after marking the Business as closed before deleting it from Partoo. This allows Partoo’s partner platforms to update their information.
Your listing remains visible on Google Maps with a “Permanently closed” label
Customer reviews are preserved and remain publicly visible
If a Google My Business listing is marked as "permanently closed," Google will gradually remove it from search results. You can report the listing as closed again to speed up this process.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage your Business listings on Partoo and Google while complying with platform policies.
