Remove one or more Business Profiles from your account - Google Business Profile Help [gg-business-en]

Remove one or more Business Profiles from your account

If you no longer want to manage a business, you can remove it from the Google Account you use to manage your Business Profile.

You won't be able to manage the business directly through Google Search or Maps, but the business may continue to show up on Google.

Important:

• The removal of a Business Profile is permanent and affects all the profile's owners and managers. To manage the profile again, it must be reverified.
• If you no longer want to manage the profile, you can remove yourself from the profile. 
• You can only remove a business on Business Profile Manager.

Remove an individual Business Profile

   • Sign in with the same account you used to sign up for Business Profile.

Remove multiple Business Profiles

   • Make sure you're logged in with the account you used to sign up for Business Profile.

   • If you get an error message, you can remove each profile individually.

Remove a business from Maps

You can request to have a business removed from Maps if the business:

• Never existed
• Isn't eligible to show on Google
• Has the wrong address

Even if you don't manage a business, you can request to remove the business.

1. On your computer, go to Google Maps.
   • Sign in with the same account you used to sign up for a Business Profile.
2. On your map, click the business you want to remove.
3. On the left, click Suggest an edit.
4. Click Close or remove.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

After you submit the request, it goes through the review process. You may get a status email with follow-up questions from our review team. If approved, the business is removed from Maps.

Update your business address

Important: If your business moves, don't create a new Business Profile.

Instead, update your business address so customers can go to your new address. You may be asked to reverify the address.

After you update your address, you can enter your opening date and post from your new address.

If you want to update an address but you don't own the Business Profile, you can request ownership from the current owner. 

You can also report incorrect addresses on Google Maps.

Understand new owner & manager limitations

When a new owner or manager is added to an existing Business Profile, they must wait for 7 days before they can manage all the features of the profile. During this 7 day period, the new owner or manager gets an error if they try any of the following:

• Delete or undelete a profile.
• Remove other owners or managers from a profile.
• Transfer primary ownership of a profile to themselves or a third user.
• An existing owner or manager tries to transfer primary ownership of the profile to a new owner or manager still in their first 7 days.

If the new owner or manager deletes their account within the first 7 days, they're removed from the profile. If they undelete their account, they must be added to the profile again.
