Is it possible to delete a google listing completely along with reviews. I have a situation where a business has closed for sometime and that property is now sold for residential use.

But the google listing remains along with the reviews. Marked as permanently closed.

From what I can tell, it IS NOT possible. Verified business listing. Looks like you can delete the listing, but that just removes from your my business account along with control.

Any ideas?

If you click the Suggest Edit button on the location in Google Maps, then "Close or remove", one of the options that shows up is "Doesn't exist here" (separate from "Permanently closed"). That might be a way to do it.

There's also an "Other" option which allows you to type in a reason.

Cheers. That actually worked and got a very quick automated response.
