Thank you so much for sharing the tip. I tried several method but none of them worked, but you made it really simple. This is what i was exactly looking for 🙂
After a few days of trying to delete a location within the new interface, this is the workflow that actually works. Thanks!
I have recently started a web site, the info you offer on this site has helped me greatly. Thank you for all of your time & work.
There doesn’t appear to be an option to get to the GMB Classic anymore. Do you have an updated process for deleting a location?
Yes, you are right @Karli GMB classic has been removed from most accounts.
Google has introduced a quick and simple method for deleting any unwanted business listing.
I have updated the new easy method as well.
Thanks for informing about it!
After Removing the account, does it still display in google.. or on the spot does it delete?
If yes, how many days?
I was just seeking this information for some time. After 2 hours of continuous Googleing, finally, I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that does not rank this type of informative sites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
I followed these exact steps (multiple times) and I STILL got the error message: “Couldn’t remove location. Check your permissions, or try removing locations individually.”
I clicked on this link because it said the article would show me how to remove a duplicate Google Business listing and NOT get this error message.
Please advise why this isn’t working, when you get a chance… Thanks! 🙂
Hello Jeff,
I would suggest you to Mark the location as “Place is permanently closed or has never existed” and try again.
If you still face the problem, add a new user into your GMB account as Owner/Manager with our iaskddm[at]gmail.com
We will try our best to get it done! 🙂
The article you shared great information I have read it thanks for providing such a wonderful Blog.
Best regards,
Dinesen Cannon
