      Hi everyone,

      I accidentally added a google place account for a client that had already an existing account. Could you tell me if I delete the new account if it will affect the existing one?  If deleting isn't good what should I do? And what are the different risks if there are?

      Thank you,

        Deleting the new account wont affect anything. You used a separate email and login yes?  Then the other will be fine.

          Hi Taysir,

          Did you actually verify this account? Are you seeing 2 Place Pages for the client at the same address, or just one? If two, are they exact matches? Are they different from one another in any way?

          Can you provide a little more information, please?
          Miriam

            not yet. I just sent the second one and my client will be getting the pin shortly. They aren't different, they are identical. So I guess removing the one in process (second account) would be safe?

              So probably deleting the one in process of waiting the pin is safe?

                Deleting the new one will not hurt the first one.

                  It should be okay to delete the old one once you've claimed it. But I'm including the 'should' because of the unpredictability of certain aspects of Google Places. I think you will be fine, though.

                    Hi Miriam,

                    Why should the old one be deleted rather than the new account?

                        Duh! My mistake....thank you for pointing this out, Searchpl. I meant to type 'the new one' and somehow typed 'the old one'. Really sorry about this and I appreciate you asking the question the drew my attention to my mistake. Thanks!
