CONFLICTS ENCOUNTERED INCLUDING DUPLICATE LISTING
ISSUES AS GOOGLE UPGRADES BUSINESS LISTINGS
04
Google has been automatically upgrading Google Place listings from the old system to the new Google Places
dashboard. During this upgrade, there are conflicts encountered which prevent the upgrade from completing.
The latest conflict is that there are duplicate listing issues and Google needs you to step in, fix the issue and then
complete the upgrade process.
Google has recently started sending out notices via email to those impacted by this issue. The email reads:
We’d like to inform you that Google Places no longer accommodates more than one authorized owner
per business location. Your account contains one or more listings that have been identified as duplicates
of other listings and as a result, some of the information you provide will not be shown to Google users
anymore…
Jade Wang from Google posted a detailed response on how to fix this issue in the Google Business Help forums:
1) Your account and another account that you don’t control became verified for the same business using
the old Places dashboard.
2) You may have verified the page multiple times using accounts you control.
Each has their own method of resolving, which Google has either emailed the business owner or you can read
them below in more detail.
