This guide is relevant as it provides step-by-step instructions on how to move ownership of a Google Business Account from one email to another, which may be necessary for a number of reasons. It is quite easy to do, but one must be very cautious not to lose any files or access when migrating from one account to another. In this article, I will show you a detailed guide that will assist you in transfering your Google Business Account to another email.
Prior to the movement, confirm that the current owner’s email address and the new email addresses are properly configured. The new e-mail should be a Google account because the Business account cannot be linked to a non-Google email.
1. Verify the Current Owner E-mail: Make sure you can
obtain the current owner’s Google account information. This is important as you
will require signing in for the transfer to commence.
2. Create a New Google Account: If the new e-mail is not
connected to any account, then create one for it. Go to the Google account
creation webpage and create the new profile as per the instructions provided.
To make this transition easier first, you need to add the current mail address as a manager of the Google Business profile. This step is required to allow the current e-mail to gain access to the e-mail profile before transferring ownership.
1. Sign in to Google My Business: The current owner
should enter the e-mail address associated with the business into Google My
Business.
2. Navigate to Users: In the navigation panel on the
left, select the “Users” section.
3. Invite New User: Move the cursor to the “Invite new
users” button and click on it. Type the new email address you want the profile
to be transferred to, and under the “Role” dropdown list, choose “Manager”.
4. Send Invitation: Click “Invite”. The current e-mail
address will also be invited as a manager to the Business profile. Make sure
the person accepts the invite.
The next step after having let your e-mail be added and accepted the manager role is to move the ownership.
1. Return to Users: Subsequently, without having to log
out of the current owner’s profile, click again on the “Users” tab.
2. Find the New E-mail: Find the ID of the current email address
in the list of users.
3. Change Role to Owner: Select the dropdown box next to
the current address and choose the Primary owner option. This action will cause
an ownership change.
4. Confirm Transfer: This is done to ensure ownership movement
is complete according to the instructions on the screen. You may be requested to
do further verification steps to complete the data movement safely.
This stage is when the new address replies to the ownership transfer.
1. Login with New Email: The one receiving the current e-mail
has to navigate to Google My Business.
2. Accept Transfer: It will state that the owner has
changed or there will be a pop-up asking for confirmation on transfer of
ownership. Check the steps below to learn how to complete this process:
3. Verify Ownership: After that, make sure the new address
has complete access to and control over the Business profile.
However, if you want, the old address can be deleted after the migration has been done and finalized.
1. Navigate to Users: Login again with the current
owner’s mail and proceed to the “Users” section.
2. Remove Old Email: Look for the old email in the list
of users, click it and then on the dropdown list that emerges, click on
‘Remove’.
It is important to note that transferring your Google
Business Account to another email is not a complicated process, yet it is a
series of carefully structured processes to ensure that security and continuity
are not compromised in the process. If you add the new mail as a manager and
approved the ownership change and transfer, then updating your account details
does not compromise business since the movement does not significantly
interrupt business. Make sure that the current email is clean with a Google
account, and all invitations accepted for better account management without
interruption.
