How best to delete a duplicate Google My Business listing

[Bendall]

Hi Mozzers,

I am in need of help please.

What is the best way to remove a duplicate GMB listing?

Is best practice to

a) Mark as permanently closed and wait for Google to update

b) Call GMB in India and ask them to delete the redundant listing (do they even do this for you?)

c) Delete the page from within my dashboard settings

I am worried my NAP data is being diluted by inaccurate historical listings (most of which I have been able to claim ownership of)

Any help appreciated.
