Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Dominick! Good for you for being thorough about this. In answer to your 2 questions: As the business is genuinely being closed at this location and is not moving to a new location, you'll just want to follow Google's recommendations for reporting the business as closed: https://support.google.com/business/answer/6314541?hl=en&ref_topic=4854191 Yes, you should follow up with closing out as many other citations that pertained to the business as possible. Why? For a couple of reasons, including not wanting the other offices to have to field calls from unhappy customers who are seeking the closed business in vain, and also, because you never really want stray, inaccurate NAP floating around out there in the ecosystem for any business. So, yes, I vote for closing out the old references. Hope these replies help!

Just updating the URL of the post Miriam mentioned. It's been moved and is returning a 404 error. Try https://www.imprezziomarketing.com/is-permanently-closed-killing-your-ranking-4-case-studies/ instead.

You got it. Change the parent URL and the child pages' URLs will change accordingly (with 301s as well).

I would merge copy and 301 the weak one to the the strong one.

There must be something else. I am using Bulletproof security and it does not have anything in the access fuel that should block you. Even if it did (1) I deactivated it and tried setting up the account and it still threw me an error, and (2) I have several other Wordpress installs with Bulletproof Security and Moz can crawl them with no problem. There must be something else here. What should I do? I need a solution to this quickly as its already causing me to be behind schedule. Thanks!
