How to Claim Ownership of a Verified Google Business Profile

Claiming ownership of a verified Google Business Profile ensures that your business’s most visible online listing is accurate, accessible, and secure. Always use your connected business email where possible and avoid duplicate creations.

If you need support or the ownership process stalls, Google Business Support is the best route for escalation.

If you’ve found a verified Google Business Profile for your business but no longer have access to it, perhaps a previous staff member verified it, or login details have been lost, you’ll need to request ownership of the verified profile to manage it moving forward.

Do Not: Attempt to create a new listing. This will result in a duplicate, which is likely to be suspended.

You Must: Follow the ownership request process before you can contact Google Business Profile support or appeal a denial.
