Hi! I think the safest way is to change your business name/title on all important online directories and sites and your website. Then, go to Google Maps, sign in to another account, and suggest an edit to your name. That way, you are not responsible, and your name change will not look suspicious.What are best practices for changing the GBP name? Where else do you recommend changing the name to avoid penalties? Thank you!
