Can I have multiple Google Business Profile listings for the same location?

Short answer 27 words

Generally no. Google's guidelines allow one profile per location, with limited exceptions for separately staffed practitioners or distinct departments. Duplicates split reviews and can lead to suspension.

The fuller answer

If you find a duplicate, keep the verified one and ask Google to merge or remove the other.

See the duplicate listing entry for how it affects visibility.

Find a second listing with the free duplicate listing finder. To remove a listing that is not yours, see how to remove a business from Google Maps.
