  • Changing business address (GBP). Best practices.

    Posted by Clarkxzz on December 8, 2025 at 10:32 am

    Currently, when changing a business address, best practices according to Google is to flag the business as permanently closed.

    This however leaves wrong impression to existing and potential clients that the business have stopped operating and not thst they've changed address.

    Any opinions would be appreciated. Cheers!

    Do you have a link to where Google recommends that? I have never read anything where Google suggests that.

    Most SEOs don’t actually do the “permanently closed” thing. Too risky. Just update the address and verify
