Ownership
Also known as: profile ownership · account access
Ownership is control of a Google Business Profile — who holds the verified rights to manage it. Ownership can be transferred, shared with managers, or disputed when more than one party claims control.
What this means for your profile
Before changing a disputed profile, establish who genuinely holds ownership; acting first can lock you out further.
