Delete your Google My Business listing

When to consider deleting your Google My Business listing

Deleting your Google My Business account may be necessary in a number of different situations. Here are some common reasons why you might want to consider doing so:

• Closing your business for good: If you’re winding down your business, deleting your Google Maps listing will avoid any confusion for your customers or the buyer of your business.
• Duplicate listings: Duplicate listings can confuse customers and complicate their search. By eliminating duplicate entries, you can improve the clarity of your online presence.
• Incorrect information: If your file contains incorrect information that you are unable to correct, it may be preferable to delete it and create a new one with the correct data.
• Change of owner: When a business changes ownership, deleting the old listing and creating a new one with updated information helps customers find the right details. Another tip, if your listing has good reviews and a good rating, is to add value to it by reselling it and transferring it to the new business owner.
• Negative reviews: Negative reviews can damage your online reputation. If managing them one by one is complicated, and/or deleting them impossible, deleting your Google My Business account can offer a fresh start.

  • Limitation: The profile remains visible online, and customers may believe that you have ceased all activity, even if this is not the case.
• Delete profile content and managers:
  • Limitation: The company remains visible without photos or content, and you lose access to modifications, leaving the profile open to other users. You will also no longer be able to reply to notices.
• Contact Google Support:
  • Limitation: This method is time-consuming and often fails to deliver the desired results. You need to be particularly familiar with the workings of google conditions and methods.
