Google and local search

Two profiles for one shop split reviews and hours. That is not twice the pack. It is a mess.

Duplicate Google listings: one profile per real place, mark the rest | Bizzit guide

Duplicates happen after a move, a franchise template, or a well-meaning intern. They fight each other. We will not create a second GBP for you as a service. Someone who just found an old listing with the previous tenant's hours. Do not create a third listing to "win." Fix the duplicates.

Keep one Google Business Profile per real location. If duplicates exist, follow Google's process to mark or merge them. Match NAP to the Bizzit site. Do not publish city doorway URLs to paper over a duplicate.Pro is $12 a month. We are not a listing-cleanup agency.

Who this is for

Someone who just found an old listing with the previous tenant's hours. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.

The actual answer

Duplicates happen after a move, a franchise template, or a well-meaning intern. They fight each other. We will not create a second GBP for you as a service. Do not create a third listing to "win." Fix the duplicates. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.

Do this in order

Search the name and the phone. List every profile. Work Google's help. Then lock NAP.

  1. Search Maps for your name and phone
  2. Note every listing
  3. Follow Google's duplicate help
  4. Point the survivor at the live site
  5. Match hours and photos

What not to do

Do not create another profile to compete with yourself. Do not doorway. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.

How this shows up on Bizzit

One website field. A 200 URL. Update it when the custom domain on Pro is live.

Limits

Do not create another profile to compete with yourself. Do not doorway.

Limits and caveats

Do not create another profile to compete with yourself. Do not doorway.

If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.

What to do after you read this

If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Google and local search. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

Tools that actually do this job

Questions people actually ask

Old owner's listing?

Follow Google's ownership help. We cannot click that for you.

Two addresses?

Two real shops can be two profiles. A van is not a second storefront.

Same phone two cities?

That is how duplicates start. One phone per place unless you have a real plan.

Paid cleanup?

We do not sell that SKU. Empty cell.
