]]> There are several reasons you may need to use the Google Review Transfer form to move reviews from one listing to another. Say for instance you move business locations. You will need to create a new listing and mark the old listing as closed and permanently moved. In this case you do not want all your reviews attached to that old listing but to the new listing you create for your business at the new location. Google has made this a rather easy task in some cases.

Currently this should only be used if your still in the old Google Places dashboard which you can see a screenshot of below.

To access the form go to the following URL https://support.google.com/business/#topic=2794267&ts=3054546,3141976&contact=1

Once you click that link you will see the following Google Review Transfer Request screen where you need only fill in 3 boxes and submit the form.

Once the form is submitted it is just a wait game as the ball is now in Google’s field. If you do not see the reviews transfer over or receive any feedback within a week or two I would go to the Google and Your Business forum and post there for additional assistance.

]]> Here is a simple flow chart to follow for a few of the different issues you can encounter when you are trying to get your Google Places listing verified. If you have ever waited more than 3 weeks and never received a Google postcard verification or tried to complete your Google Places verification via the phone call method but did not receive a call then this will show you the steps you can take such as attempting the phone call up to 5 times or re-triggering your postcard verification. However if your doing the postcard verification and have issues or never receive your postcard it is best to use Google Places Help Phone Support so you do not have to wait an additional 2-3 weeks as you can loose a lot of potential traffic to your business listing and website if you have to wait additional weeks. Use this flow chart to help you bypass some of the common Google Places verification problems.
