What Happens If There’s No Response?

If the current owner doesn’t respond after three days, Google allows you to check your request status via the confirmation email.

• If no response after 7 days, you may see an “Appeal Now” link.

• If Google can verify your account through Analytics or Search Console, they may unverify the inactive owner and allow you to verify the profile again yourself.

• Inactive owners (often seen by Google as bouncing emails or outdated contact details) will typically be unverifiable, and their access will be removed.

Google takes care to ensure the right owner manages the profile, and will attempt multiple follow-ups before initiating a forced transfer.
