      Hi
      I am trying to update Google+ Business page. I think previouse employee already setup a Google+ page (not sure if it's completed or not) but she no longer works here. At this point, we have no way of knowing user name & password for the Google + business page.
      Name of the business is:
      Immediate Response Plumbing
      www.irplumbing.com
      210) 496-6900
      13106 Lookout Ridge, San Antonio, TX 78233
      Is therre anyway I can reverify the ownership without contacting the previouse employee?
      I am trying to figure out request to change listing ownership from Google and I am lost
      Could anyone help me?
      Thank you

        Unless the page had significant postings and followers it would be easier to just recreate the page if the login cannot be recovered.  Then you will just need to adjust the link in the publisher tag on your site to the new Google+ page.

        There is no recovery mechanism other than the email address of the original page creator.

          I would just reach out to the former employee to transfer the whole page to you. Creating a duplicate will just lead to more problems down the road (plus an email from google themselves)
