Hey Linda! Very good question. The last one I moved (20 days ago) I did slightly differently (see reply to Matt). In this scenario, my CID remained the same, reviews came with and analytics were unchanged. Literally, nothing changed.

Best of all, the ranking wasn’t affected whatsoever. In fact, after receiving its first optimization a couple days later, it jumped into the 7 pak.

From memory, when I did it the way I explain in my post, the same was true.

I am going to be doing this again in a couple days, so I will be sure to re-confirm.

Thanks for stopping by Linda!

Hey Adam, I never do this ever, so need to ask.

Doesn’t moving the listing like this result in a new CID? Because reviews are in part tied to CID. Do you lose reviews when you move like this?

Also doesn’t the new listing need to start over, mature in the index for a few weeks before it starts to rank? Or do you not find that to be the case?

There is another method via the Dashboard by clicking “Add another business”, but I couldn’t get it to work today. Kept bringing me to the edit screen…Strange.
