    There are so many different scenarios that could exist in the Google My Business (GMB) world when it comes to duplicate listings. The approach you take with them could mean the difference between ranking and not ranking.

    Before doing anything listed below, always make sure you check both listings to see if there are reviews that need to be moved.

    The question of how to handle the existence of two (or more) G+ Pages for a given local business has become a frequent one. Over the past month, I have gotten 1-2 queries a week asking what should be done. For example, I recently received this email:

    Ran into an issue with Google Places and Google+, curious if you know of any solutions. One of my clients set up a Google+ page. But since Google Places automatically created Google+ pages, I now have two Google+ accounts for one company. All three are under the same gmail email address. The page my client created is more developed than the one Google Places created.
