I have a client who bought his dental practice from another dentist. The old dentist GMB is ranking OK (3 in some map packs around the office) and 2nd organically. What is best approach, try to merge in the GMB, mark it as closed and rank the new one (with new business name)? For website the old one has a popup directing to the new site. Should I take that site down or leave it up? Just worried about Possum but if I could rank them both I would be fine with that. Both businesses have exact same address.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an agency owner or consultant that wants to get more clients, grow your revenue and scale your team so that they can work less and earn more.
