Incorrect Google Places Listing Outranks Other

[GrouchyKids]

We have 2 Google Places listings (due to 2 Google Accounts).

One listing (the one with the wrong address) outranks the correct listing.

Am working on updating citations and have updated the website with the correct address.  I do note that Google has not picked up that the contact page has changed and has not seen the changes to many of the citations.

Do we:

Update the incorrect listing with the correct address for the time being to resolve issues with clients.

Remove the old (incorrect) listing.

Or is there a better way to sort this out am concerned that removing the listing will lose us our Google Places rank.

I would update the old listing and delete the new one. Whichever listing has the most reviews, content, and ranking signals would be the one I would keep.

\Why create a new listing? Wouldn't you want to update the old listing after moving locations? Is there something more to it?

Hey There,

Please check out this recent Moz blog post: https://moz.com/blog/delete-gmb-listing

It gives thorough advice for google listing issues like the one you're describing. If you don't find an answer to your specific scenario there, please let me know, but I'm hoping you will!

Yes, its complicated.

The new listing is in place to stand alongside the existing Adwords campaigns which are in the other Google account.

Neither of the listings have reviews, at least not at the moment, it's something we need to work on.

Working on amending the citations to the new address at the moment.

What do you mean by ranking signals, other than citations and reviews, what other aspects come into play?
