How to Transfer Primary Ownership in Google Business

In some cases, you may want to transfer primary ownership of a Business Profile to an existing Owner or Manager.

For a single Google Business Profile:

  • Go to your Business Profile. 

  • Select the three-dot menu >>Business Profile settings  >> People and access. 

  • Select on the person you'd like to change access.
  • If the person is not on the list, you need to invite him/her first. Once the person accepts the invitation, you can set up access.
  • Select the user’s role >> Primary owner.
  • Then, select Save.

For Business Location Groups

  • Select the Business Group you'd like to transfer Primary Ownership for

  • Click on Group settings on the right.
  • Click on Manage users.
  • Add/change access for the person you'd want to transfer the primary ownership to.

Note: You don't need to remove the other profiles that have access to a Profile or Business Group. You can change their access level to Manager.
