2 Google Business Profiles for Same Business

Post Body

So the company I started working for has 2 different Google business profiles. For some reason a previous employee made an entirely new profile when we moved offices in the past instead of simply updating the address on the old profile.

Is there a best practices for removing or merging the profile? Literally everything is the same between the profiles (company name, telephone, description, etc) except for the address. There's no reviews or ads connected to either so that doesn't make a difference.

Additionally another reason to simply remove the old profile is that same former employee added photos from the old office from her personal Google account so we cannot simply delete those old photos that misrepresent our business.

The only thing keeping me from simply removing the old profile is the fact that it looks like each profile has different view counts over the past couple months and I don't want to mess up any built up SEO. However it appears any current SEO may be negligible as the old profile has 232 views this month and the new one has 108.

What are your thoughts?
