Many businesses regularly change owner, Organisation, or manager: what to do if you want to modify your business information? Not keep the old owner's bad reviews? Remove the old business listing? Partoo gives you some tips! 😇
If you are not familiar at all with Google Business Profile, these operations can be quite complex: note that Partoo supports its clients with these issues.
You want to keep the SEO and reviews of the old business
In this case, it is necessary to recover ownership of the listing and possibly change the information, or even announce the change of owner via a Google Post 😉
Changing information such as name, category, address can affect the status of the listing (requires re-verification of the Google listing, suspension of the listing) - and thus the visibility of the information on Google Maps/Search. You will find in the attached article the precautions to take when modifying your business's Google listing.
There are several possibilities for this:
Either you know the old owner of the listing, then you must ask them to make you the owner (see article on this subject)
Or you do not know the current owner of the listing: in this case, you must repeat ownership requests via Google hoping the old owner does not refuse them.
Once the old listing is recovered, it is then necessary to contact Google Business Profile support to merge your two listings.
If all these steps seem too complex and you are afraid of getting lost, you can entrust this work to specialists: the Partoo teams 🚀
