When a business moves locations, Apple will create a new listing for the new location as opposed to updating the previous listing. To prevent confusion, clients may need to report their previous listing as "Permanently Closed".
To mark an Apple lisitng as permanently closed, you will follow these steps:
- Navigate to the live listing through Local SEO > Lisitng Sync.
- Select Apple
- Select the linked Apple listing
- Select "Open in Maps"
- Select the three dots on the listing
- Report an issue
- It's closed
- It's closed permanently
- Submit
Over time Apple will remove any listings marked as "Permanently Closed".
