Close or remove a Business Profile

If you no longer want to manage a business, you can mark the business as permanently closed and remove the profile content and managers.

You won’t be able to manage the business directly through Google Search or Maps, but the business may continue to show up on Google.

1. Go to your Business Profile and select Edit profile

2. Near the top, select the Hours tab. Next to "Hours," select Edit.

3. Select Permanently closed and then Save.

Your Business Profile may still appear on Search and Maps for users who search for it, but it will clearly show that your business is closed.
