A question that I constantly get asked is how to edit the SEO Company Dubai page on Google Maps and Google My Business after a change of business address to put the correct location and be accessible in Google.

Although it is something simple and that can be found in Google My Business Help center with a simple search. in this article, I will explain it in much more depth. The change is made in Google My Business and in this way it is automatically modified in Google Maps and the rest of the services (the moment in Google+ it is not showing the contact details of a company).

Why Should I edit my Business Listing in Google

A common formula that people use is to create a new business page and leave the old one behind. This generates a big problem because people when they search for you on the Internet or on Google Maps will usually see the old location of the business. I think nobody wants their clients visiting the old company address or calling a phone that is no longer operational.

So, it is very important to modify the Digital Marketing company file in Google My Business (GMB). But not only in GMB, but you must also change it in all the directories or places that are materially possible for you. Since not everyone may search for us on Google Maps, there may be clients who prefer to search in places like Yelp, Tripadvisor, etc that currently exist to locate businesses along with all the citations that we can change. This is essential to maintain consistency in the Local SEO strategy.

How to change the address of a business on Google

The first thing is to access our Google My Business / My Business account and change the address. If you still do not have control of your business on Google then you must claim access. Previously it was done on Google+, but now it only works for brand pages.

Update the location on your company’s website. Check well, sometimes the address is in more places than you think. If you are using Schema (which you should), be careful not to delete the code when editing the address and showing the correct location. You should do the same in social media accounts so that it reflects the appropriate information.

Update the address in the most relevant local directories. Finally, you can check the most important directories where your business is registered.

The reason for this whole process is to send Google the appropriate signals so that it will notice that we have changed the address of SEO Community and take into account the new location. It is always relevant that there is consistency in all the places where your company data appears. If you have two different addresses, you will be confusing Google by offering conflicting information. So, take it seriously and do your best not to confuse Google and users.

How to change a wrong phone on Google

It is not highly recommended to change the company’s phone. There may be people who have listed you on their agenda. You can end up losing customers because when doing a Google search those people may not find the correct location. But sometimes there is no other choice, either due to new telephone exchanges proximity redirection service issues or for another reason.

The same thing that we discussed earlier with the location applies to the change of phone. It is essential to change it on the web, directories, social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google +.), and of course Google Maps. You must be careful, if you have photos that include the overwritten phone number or if you have the business card scanned and uploaded to your Google My Business page. 

My Personal phone number appears in the file of a business. How to solve it?

Sometimes there have been cases of people who have bought a new telephone line and have been surprised that number was used by a business and the number could be found on Google Maps and in the search engine. 

It has also happened that someone has entered a number in the system incorrectly, and the telephone number of an individual has been registered for a company. This ends up generating spam calls, which could lead them to a desperate situation. So update your number with your business name everywhere to avoid this situation.  

Delete duplicate locations on Google Maps

Maybe you’re reading this help too late and you already have two Google My Business tabs. Surely the old one with the wrong location continues to appear when looking for your company or, even worse, you marked it as closed. So, now everyone believes that your business has closed permanently.

In this case, if you have not yet verified the new one, what you can do is delete the new file from the My Business account. If you have both verified, it is best to call the Google My Business Help service or SEO Expert from there they will be able to solve it since it cannot be done manually from the control panel.
