Who has used the "opt out from certain Google properties" feature in Google Webmaster Tools? What was the impact?

Working with a company who isn't a local business with a physical location, nor do they have face-to-face contact with customers, but somehow have a Google+ local page show up when do you do a branded search as if they are a local business. Will the opt out of Google properties work in this situation and remove the G+ local card for them?

Hi there

You can take a look at Delete a Page in Google My Business. However, if there is content your client posts and utilizes, then having a connected Google+ Brand Page would certainly help. That way, you have one more outlet to distribute content, and you also have a verified and linked profile on the platform.

Just something to weigh out before deleting. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
