I have a client who created his GMB a couple of years ago (photography company). Thing is, he created it under an SAB. Can't blame him because he doesn't do business at a specified location and goes where he's needed, but I would've created it with a virtual office to help it with local results.

Anyway, fact of the matter's that he's now servicing a neighboring city. And, though that new city still falls under his SAB, my approach would be to just create a new GMB with a virtual office in this new city (and just close the current GMB listing)

But, I'm just not sure if there'd be any issues since he already has a GMB with his company name. I'd send local citations to his new one, but, again, not sure what issues there could be.

Context:
-Only has 3 reviews
-Poorly optimized

Never dealt with this before, so I'd appreciate any advice/thoughts.

Thanks in advance guys.

If it only has 3 reviews it wont really hurt to just start over.
Shoot me a pm and I can tell you how to remove the old listing properly (no catch)

That's what I was thinking. Thanks a lot. Haven't posted enough to be able to PM someone. You mind PMing me?

I see good results for GMBs with no results...
 
Moved this thread to the local SEO section.

Quick tip if want a review boost: Ask your client to ask some friends who live in your local area to leave a review if they live near your serviced area since we want the device that leaves the review to actually be seen by google as a frequent visitor to that area of the business so the reviews don't get flagged. And with this method don't do more than 1 -2 a day since you only have 3 reviews, it would be fishy in google's algorithm if you suddenly got like 3 reviews in a day.

definitely do this already, but the 1-2/day limit's a good note — appreciate the tip

is there any way to do something like this via proxies and mass fake accounts?
 
You can just edit the GMB by clicking show public address and typing in the address you want. I've done it a few times before.
