Deleting Multiple Listings

5 replies
I have a client who has multiple places listings. He only has control over 1 of them and is not sure how the others were even created. Anyway I believe it is affecting the rank of the main one that actually has the reviews because the website is linked to all of them.

So my question is does anyone know the best way to go about getting them deleted? I already contacted Google using that form saying they are multiple listings. But is there anything else that can be done?

Thanks to anyone that has experience or advice with this.

    Still trying to figure this one out! same situation. I had the postcard mailed to me and went to the link, it claimed a Google+ page that I never created instead of the one I did create!

      Several times I contacted Google from inside the account and told them one of the 2 listings was a duplicate... then waited, and waited, and waited. Then the duplicate disappeared.

      At other times, I waited, and waited, and got impatient, went to the public library, found the listing on one of the library's computers and, without signing in, told Google the listing I wanted closed was wrong and that there was another one that was good.

      Google said it would take a look. Bout 2 weeks later, it looked and obliged.

    It takes time to receive a reply from Google with the fact that they receive countless emails each day. Maybe you can do a follow-up and wait a bit more. It can be frustrating but until you find a way to delete them, all you have to do is wait for their response on how they'll attend to this.

      Yes they even mailed my client with a activation code for the page. However I have no access to it so that did not help at all.

      Yes they contacted me and said they were looking into it but it has been almost 2 months, so ridiculous.
