How to manage duplicates profiles on Google?

How to clean your online presence on Google?

At the moment, it is not possible to delete the duplicated profile in Google even if you are the owner of the official and the duplicated profile. However, there are a couple of things you can do to get them merged.

1. Claim all the duplicated profiles

If you are the owner of the duplicated profile, we send the information added in Localistico venue to the duplicated profile. According to Google's policy, the duplicated profile should have the same name, address and categories. If we publish the same information to all duplicated profiles, Google should merge them automatically and your business will end up with one optimised profile. Please note that you need to be the owner of the profile and the profile need to be linked with the venue so that Localistico can update its data.

2. Suggest edits in Google Maps

If, for some reason, you cannot claim the duplicated profile, you can try to suggest edits on Google Maps. Find the duplicate profile on maps and click on Suggest an edit.

Click on Remove this place.

Select the reason for removal Duplicated of another place and click on send.

We advise you to take screenshots of all the profiles to check afterwards that the merger has been carried out correctly, as sometimes Google may accidentally remove some reviews.

There is no resolution period established by Google, so you should wait until the duplicate profiles disappear.

If the merger is successful, the duplicate profiles will be removed, and you will keep your primary profile along with all the reviews from both your original profile and the duplicate. It’s important to note that Google only considers merging profiles when they have identical names, and the duplicate profile is unclaimed by any other user.

3. Contact Google Support
