Google Places Listing Active In Two Seperate Google Places Accounts?

[MBASydney]

Hi is there any issues with having a google places listing in two seperate google places accounts.

For example we have a client who cannot access their old google places account (ex-employee had their login details which they can't get) and want us to take control over the listing.

If we click the "is this your listing" manage this page button - and claim the listing, will this transfer the listing to our control? Or will it create a duplicate?

Are there any problems having the listing in different separate accounts.

Is it a situation in which the last person who manages the listing takes control? And the listing automatically deactivates from the old account?

Do all the images remain aswell?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Rather than re-invent the wheel on this, let me just link to Mike Blumenthal's excellent guide on how to handle the scenario you are describing. Be sure to read the article, in full, including looking at the previous pieces linked to in Mike's post:

I'm 99% sure this will be exactly what you need, but if you don't find the answer you were hoping for, just let me know.
