Quick answer
You can remove a Google Business Profile you own from your account, mark it permanently closed, or request that Google remove duplicates and fake listings. If you don't own the listing, you first request ownership or report it through Google Maps 'Suggest an edit' and the Business Redressal form.

Remove vs. close: choose correctly
Deleting a profile removes your management access but not always the Maps place itself. Marking it 'permanently closed' keeps history intact and is often the right choice for relocations. We advise the correct option before anything is changed, because some actions are hard to reverse.
Duplicate listings
Duplicates dilute rankings and split reviews. Where possible we request that Google merges duplicates into your verified profile so reviews consolidate instead of being lost.
Fake and hijacked listings
Scam listings that use your brand, or profiles taken over by a former agency or employee, are handled through ownership requests, Google Business Profile support escalation and the Business Redressal complaint form, supported by registration documents and proof of ownership.
- Ownership request to the current manager
- Ownership appeal when the request is denied
- Redressal complaint for impersonation
- Trademark-based requests where applicable
Clean, consistent local presence
After cleanup we align your name, address and phone across Google and major directories so customers and search engines see one accurate business.

Frequently asked questions
Can I remove my business from Google Maps completely?
You can delete your profile from management or mark it closed. A real place may remain on Maps as closed; we explain which outcome is achievable.
Will I lose my reviews if a duplicate is removed?
Reviews on a removed duplicate are usually lost, which is why we request merges where Google allows them.
Someone made a fake listing with my brand. What now?
We report it via Google's impersonation and redressal channels with your registration documents as evidence.
How long does a removal take?
Owned listings can be removed immediately; Google's review of third-party reports can take days to weeks.
