Moving my photography business to another state. Is it possible to transfer Google My Business listing WITHOUT losing my Google Reviews?
-
A friend of mine is transitioning her photography business to another state. She moved about 5 years ago and consequently lost all of her Google+/Yelp reviews. Having reviews as a photographer is EXTREMELY important for her business reputation. She doesn't want this to happen again.
Is it possible to change the location of a Google my Business page and keep the existing reviews?
Thanks

Hi Rosemary
Yes! You should be just fine. According to Google:
If your business moves from one location to another and keeps the same business name, Google will generally move the reviews to the new location. There are some exceptions for businesses heavily tied to their locations, like hotels, golf courses or scenic attractions.

If you have any other questions let me know! Good luck!
