Thanks for sharing! When following along you emphasize making a new address. After entering in the new address the next question is "Is this your business?" and then shows the name and address of your other listing. Should we be choosing that? or saying this doesn't match and continue on with your recommendation? Also, is this just the preferred method to get better search engine recognition compared to using the 'business group' method to add multiple locations? Thanks!
I think this is the reason people are saying it doesn’t work. He didn’t even address this AT ALL! I’m stuck here too. I’m not sure what to click and by the other people. It’s seems like if you choose a certain answer. It just redirects you to your original business page. I hope he answers soon.
Did you get an answer to your question? I selected 'No' and created a new profile. Google let me create it and run my business at the second location only to be abruptly suspended one day saying "Your account contains multiple profiles for the same business at several locations. We suggest you keep only one profile that represents your business at its correct location and remove the rest." Well then how do I create another location for the same business?
Thank you so much for this great video! I am not clear on the creation of a sub page for the website that is linked to the google listing? Why is it necessary to create a sub page as opposed to linking the second address to the Home or About page? Or even the Services page?
The sub page will be targeted specifically for the second city that your business will be operating in. So if you link back to the sub page that's the way to go about it. For SEO, relevance and ranking factors this will be ideal. I have a business in Portsmouth so my home page is targeted for that local city but my new city is Southampton so I created a page optimised for the Southampton keywords and linked to that sub page.
I would appreciate it if you showed how multiple locations look on the business profile. How do you switch between locations? Do they show up on the same google profile?
Is it possible to add the name of the city at the end of the business name on these? Like Best Roofing Seattle with a satellite company Best Roofing Tacoma?
Thank you man! This was extremely help-full. Unfortunately it does not help if your Client just has several small Locations to work from to be near a Customer ... at the Moment you just can't collect all Ratings in one Placed / under the Main-Profile which would be the Goal ... Or did I miss something?
Thank you so much for this video - I have a group business name and each of the individual businesses have a different name, is it still possible to do this and are you able to help?
Thank you! I appreciate you mentioning the things that could go wrong as I knew I could mess this up and no other videos mentioned it so it made me not trust them. Thanks for the help.
Quick question, when I get to the part at the end where it shows my business and says "is this you", do I say that's me or say no and continue as if I'm a different business?
Did you get an answer to your question? I selected 'No' and created a new profile. Google let me create it and run my business at the second location only to be abruptly suspended one day saying "Your account contains multiple profiles for the same business at several locations. We suggest you keep only one profile that represents your business at its correct location and remove the rest." Well then how do I create another location for the same business?
😒This video was valuable, thanks. But what if the business doesn't have any website but still wants to show different business location without having a website??
Thank you for the information. I am trying to add new locations to Google my business and it is sending me "You already manage this Business Profile. Continue to your Business Profile on Google" how can I go about this?
Looking for this exact video. Thank you. A question though. Is the process the same if I'll be adding an overseas location? We have open a new branch in a diff country and just wondering how to add the new address in GMB
Hello, my business has been on google since 2012 and I’m starting a new business totally different than my current one. My question is do I have to get another gmail account and start the newer business like my first. I realize I can’t use the current business and all that. So totally different business, address and phone number. Thank you.
Following. I have same question. I have a few businesses under same email address that i setup years ago not thinking about this. A few days ago google suspended my listings for suspicious activity. There is no suspicious activity going on so i dont know but im still suspended.
I was hoping that I could link them together. We're opening a 2nd studio location in another city. I followed your directions and it looks like it set up a completely new profile where I'll need to get new reviews, add new photos etc., Is there no way to link them together?
This is understandable from Google's point of view because different locations will usually have different staff, so the quality of service could be different. Annoying for us, sure, but if you think about a chain of shops or restaurants, you could have a bad experience in one of them from being poorly managed.
The reviews do not transfer! So Im wondering if it might be better to leave my 75 reviews with my old location, give that business to contractors. Then rebrand and start a new page for my new location. I've wanted to change my name and add a beach vibe to my marketing since I'm now located on the coast (photography business). Thoughts?
New subscriber here and learned Much better, Let me ask what is update in 2024 if someone has 2 Business GMB Profile and at Second GMB PRofile he is using Different city name with company name ? and category is also not same, will this do HARD SUSPENSION OR SOFT SUSPENSION ?
Basically you’ll have to buy an address for each address , have and have separate landing pages, emails and phone numbers correct? It’s almost like you’re doing it for the first time each time
If I’m starting a second location for a restaurant across the twin cities would you recommend making a second facebook and instagram or would you recommend keeping just the main one
Hey Minn Media! We are also an MN based business (Revival PT and Wellness) - Quick question. We have a single location now, but are about to open our second location. We want to move our original GBP to the new location address (to retain the reveiws etc as this is in Minneapolis so likely better to have all those reveiws) and then make a secodn location with the address of our current location. Is this doable/okay?
What do you do for a business like realtors? They all have the same physical address as the agency. How do you set up a GMB profile for something like that?
Can I change the business name and category after I finish the setup and make it different than the main location? like will it screw something up? please reply
Question! By adding the second location will the new location start from ground zero in regards to Google reviews? I’m terrified doing this as Google has been a pain in my rear
This is great but if I’m managing an account for a client and only have access to email is there a way to chose email verification only instead of phone number verification please?
Once I add the profile with a separate address, google brings up the original business listing (old address) and asks if this is my business or if this doesn't match. Do I choose This doesn't match?
Thank you for this. I have a very unique challenge myself. I actually need to add locations that are donation bins. These bins don’t have physical addresses. They are located in Malls and parking lots. So they resemble an Outdoor Kiosk in a sense. I actually attempted to use a Geo-point as the address and one time Google accepted it. The next time they denied wanting a physical address. Have you had any experience in this type of challenge. Wanting to drive people to donation Bin locations that don’t have addresses.
I’d like to speak 1 on 1 with you since I really don’t want to do this and get suspended but I’d like to add a second location in another City where I also work at.
if i can't use the same address for all what shoud I use. By the way I do Janitorial and I put my address on it because it will mark where iI am located.
Thanks this was helpful. By the way Is it okay to use my own home address as my second location ? I do HVAC services so I travel to my clients locations.
Thank you. This was helpful. I am starting a service based business and would like my business to show up in multiple locations to represent my service area, but I actually only have one physical address. Is that OK to do, or does google not allow that? If thats, OK, then would I just select NO under the Add a location page? I see a competitor doing this, but I am not sure if he is using physical properties that he owns or not. Should I schedule and appointment to set this up if its possible?
@lukesilv, you should have one website but create a new page for each location. Mention your service and location name in the URL of that page, and then add that location page's URL address to that location's GMB profile website address. It will definitely help you with local SEO. Let me know if you need any help.
After entering in the new address the next question is "Is this your business?" I selected 'No' and created a new profile. Google let me create it and run my business at the second location only to be abruptly suspended one day saying "Your account contains multiple profiles for the same business at several locations. We suggest you keep only one profile that represents your business at its correct location and remove the rest." Well then how do I create another location for the same business?
How can I contact you. I've been trying to deal with this for 10 years and never could get it. We have one office location but we service 10 different counties and haven't been able to set this up where when they're looking for our kind of services in each County our name doesn't come up. People don't come to our office we go out to them so we don't display our address. Does that make sense? I never knew digital marketing or marketer is what I needed. Thanks for all the tips but I'd like to discuss hiring you to help me.
@lukesilv, you should have one website but create a new page for each location. Mention your service and location name in the URL of that page, and then add that location page's URL address to that location's GMB profile website address.

Awesome video 👍🏻 I’m currently adding 2 different locations in other cities near me for my service business I run. Should I have different websites for each GMB profile?

Will the reviews from 1st location transfer over or will you have to start over on the second location?
No. You need new reviews
Quick question. Are we allowed to have multiple locations with one business address (location)?
I would think so 🤷♀️
If I add the exact same name it indicates that I already manage this business it doesn't allow me to the next steps
