Google has made it very clear just how important this is and will continue to do so over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Sometime \u201csoon\u201d (the only time frame given by <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+GoogleBusiness\/posts\/YqpBWaNVKMr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google<\/a>), if a business has not logged into their Google Business Profile, they will receive an email requesting they login and update or verify their listing. If they do not then this new protocol means that the business may become unverified, removed totally from maps, and will not show up in local search results either.<\/p>\n<p>If access to the email account that has ownership of the Google Business Profile has been lost, then the business or brand will need to contact <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Help<\/a> and go through the process to regain access to the Google Business Profile.<\/p>\n<p>Google has an important reason for making this login request. There are an extremely large number of inactive accounts that need to be either updated and\/or verified that they are correct in order to give more accurate search results for consumers.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Keep A Google Business Profile In Good Standing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Login and verify \/ update the Google MBusiness Profile.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm there are not any duplicate Google listings.<\/li>\n<li>Review \/ make updates a minimum of every 6 months.
