Remove a Business Profile from your Google account

Important: When you remove all ownership and content from your Business Profile, it doesn't guarantee that the business won't show up on Maps and Search.

  1. Go to your Business Profile.
    • You must sign in to the Google account associated with your Business Profile.
  2. Select More Menu and then Business Profile settings.
  3. Select Remove Business Profile and then Remove profile content and managers.
    • If you want to show that your business is closed, turn on Mark your business as permanently closed.
      • If you mark your business as closed, it won't disappear from Maps right away. It will slowly disappear from search results and then be completely removed.
  4. Select Continue and then Remove and then Done.

Remove multiple Business Profiles

  1. Go to the Business Profile Manager.
    • You must sign in to the Google account associated with all your Business Profiles.
  2. In the Business Profile Manager, select the profiles you want to remove.
  3. At the top right, select Actions Down arrow icon and then Remove businesses and then Remove.

If you encounter an error when you remove multiple profiles, you must remove content and managers for each profile.

Understand what happens when you remove your Business Profile

  • After removal, your business might still show up on Search and Maps, unless it’s considered ineligible business. Learn more about business eligibility and ownership guidelines.
  • Removal of content and managers for a Business Profile is permanent and affects all owners and managers.
    • Any posts, photos, videos, and review replies by owners and managers are permanently removed.
    • User-generated content and review remains.
  • After the content is removed, it can’t be recovered or managed. To manage your business again, you must re-verify your Business Profile.

Transfer Business Profile ownership

You can remove your account from a Business Profile without removing other owners and managers. This won't affect the current content in your profile.
