Steps to Remove a Business
- Access Your Google Business Profile: Ensure you’re logged into the Google account associated with your business profile.
- Navigate to Business Profile Manager: Go to the Google Business Profile Manager.
- Locate the Business: If you manage multiple businesses, select the one you wish to remove.
- Mark as Permanently Closed: Find the option to mark the business as permanently closed. This signals that the business is no longer operating at that location.
- Remove from Account (Optional): After marking as closed, you can remove the business listing entirely from your account.
Important Considerations
Even after removal, some information might persist on Google Maps or search results for a period.
Closing a business doesn’t necessarily delete all associated data immediately.
Alternative Actions
Instead of complete removal, consider marking the business as temporarily closed or updating the information if it’s simply a relocation or change of ownership.

What Happens After Removal?
Once you remove your business listing, it will no longer appear in Google Search or Maps. Customers will not be able to find your business through Google’s platforms.
Reinstating a Business
If you accidentally removed your business or decide to reopen, you can reinstate your listing. However, you may need to go through the verification process again;
Impact on Reviews
Reviews associated with your business may still be visible, even after removal. Google retains this information for historical purposes and to provide context to other businesses in the area.
Dealing with Unauthorized Listings
If you find a Google Business Profile for your business that you didn’t create, you can claim it and then remove it, or report it to Google as unauthorized.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage your business’s presence on Google Business Profile and ensure accurate information is displayed to potential customers.
