How to transfer primary ownership of a Google Business listing

In certain rare cases (such as you leaving the business), you may want to transfer primary ownership of your listing to one of the listing’s owners or managers. If you’re the only user associated with your listing, you can add additional owners and managers.

Transfer primary ownership

  1. Sign in to Google My Business.
  2. If you have multiple listings, open the location you’d like to manage.
  3. Click  Users from the menu.
  4. Locate the user you’d like to transfer ownership to and click the box on the right-hand side of their name.
  5. Select Primary Owner from the dropdown menu that appears. You’ll only see this option if you’re an owner of the listing.
  6. Click Done. Primary ownership is transferred immediately.
