      Hey there,

      I was wondering whether you could help me out on the following;

      One of our clients has a Google places listing that we created for their business but it appears to be being blocked - or at least conflicting - with an old listing.

      As such, Google appears to be showing the old listing with an outdated URL and company name - rather than the new one. Does anyone know how I can go about removing this listing or showing that the newer one is now more relevant?

      Unfortunately, I don't have the logins for the old places listing.

      Old listing; https://plus.google.com/105224923085379238289

      New listing; https://plus.google.com/b/114641937407677713536/114641937407677713536

        You'd have to reclaim the domain login for Places.

        Which would just mean setting up a new piece of code on the site. Then replace as per normal.

        I don't know of any other way. I seem to recall an option for users to say this place has been closed but maybe that was in another dream ... sorry!
