Step by Step Instructions on How to Remove Duplicate Google Listing

How to identify if you have duplicate listings on Google Maps. First, click the “Maps” link at the top of the Google Search home page. Then search your company name as shown below in this search for the company “revionics.” As you’ll see, Revionics had duplicate listings. The optimized primary listing is highlighted in green and the non-desirable duplicate listing is highlighted in red. The obvious difference between these listings is the lack of a photo for the duplicate listing. The not so obvious difference is the subtle difference in the address.

Here is the preferred primary listing that has photos, videos, more specific categories, a description and is verified/claimed by the company.

Verified Google Listing with Photos, Videos and More

Here is the unverified duplicate listing that is lacking photos, videos, a description and has a slightly different address. Click “Edit this place” to start the process. Optionally, you can also claim the listing by clicking on the “Business owner?” link. For the most part, we haven’t found this to be necessary, but if you have a Local Business Center account it is recommended that you claim the duplicate listing.

Unverified (Problem) Google Listing

Before you “report a problem” like this duplicate listings issue, it is important that you sync up the listings to have the same exact contact info. Specifically, the address and phone number must be identical to increase your chance of a successful deletion of a duplicate listing. However, don’t claim the listing and sync up the additional content like photos, videos and etc.If you have already claimed the listing and have enhanced content like photos and videos in the duplicate listing, we recommend you strip out the enhanced content. The idea is to make sure it is clear to Google which listing is the primary listing and which is the non-desirable duplicate listing that has as little info as possible.

Now that the primary listing and duplicate listing are synced, you need to “report a problem” with the duplicate listing.

Report a Problem with the Duplicate Listing

On the “Report a problem” screen that comes up next, you will select the “Place has another listing” option. It is recommended that you enter comments to explain the situation. For example, you may include information about how these listings are both for your company and you are looking to delete this undesired duplicate listing. test
It is recommended that you check the “Send email when the problem is reviewed” option so that you will receive an email confirmation like the one below when Google has taken action on the problem you reported. However, sometimes you may need to repeat this process one or more times and wait up to 3 weeks for the changes to be successfully processed.

Open a new spreadsheet in Google Docs or use an existing spreadsheet containing duplicates. If the spreadsheet is empty, add a few rows of data (e.g. a list of contacts, parts inventory, etc.) and duplicate some of them. Select the function removeDuplicates in the function combo box and click "Run".

If you add a location that's already been verified in Google My Business, it won't appear on Help removing Duplicate Business Listing - one at old location.

If you have two or more identical locations in your account, only one of the locations can be verified and appear on Google Maps. The other locations will be marked as duplicates. To remove duplicate locations from your account:

    Sign in to Google My Business.
    Click Duplicate locations at the top of the page, then click the location you'd like to remove.
    Review the location. Make sure the business information for the duplicate location is included in the location that will remain in your account. Make sure that the photo URLs, ad-specific fields, and store codes are up-to-date in the location that you are keeping.
    Click the back arrow  in the top-left corner to return to your location list.
    Click Remove duplicate on the right side of the location you'd like to remove.
