How to Change the Google Business Profile Linked to Your Review Forest
There are occasions when you may need to change the Google Business Profile linked to your review forest. Here's how to know when and how to make this change.
- Reasons for Change: Typically, updates are needed if your old profile was deleted or two profiles were merged.
- Minor Updates: For simple changes like updating your business name or address, edit your existing Google Business Profile directly on Google instead. This approach maintains your reviews and ranking and you should always try to go this route first.
Your existing review link on your review forest should continue to work, even after changes on Google, ensuring ongoing syncing of reviews.
Identify the Need: Ensure a change is necessary based on the guidelines above.

- New Review Button: The review button on your page will lead to your updated Google Business Profile. Make sure to test it after changes.
