Listing The Same Social Account on Multiple GPB Locations: Duplicate Listing Concerns?

*I have a client that has two locations,* two GBPs with different addresses, different phone numbers, share a website, but different url’s within the website…… The question is, can they have the same social accounts shared on their GBPs? i.e., same IG, same FB, same YT, same LI, etc. *Can I put the same socials in both profiles or will it trigger a “duplicate listing” fiasco situation?*

I have done this with GBP's that share a social account and have not seen any re-verification or anything like that. NOW, I will say, this was a 1+ ago so I am not able to comment on whether you will have the same situation as it stands today. Google is a fickle coin flip, so I will refrain from any guarantees.

Common for restaurants and well large companies/brands also, but can't say I have seen them all in their GBPs. @shawn.l.huber any thoughts?

 

I don't have experience with it, but I can't see the same socials being an issue.

We tend to post unique for each location when/where possible but shared should be okay.

 

To double check my sanity did look at McDonald's and they use the main profile for Insta/Twitter (refuse to call it the other name) they do have unique URLs for Meta though

A roofing/solar company I help manage with multiple locations all share the same singular socials across the board. (11 locations for roofing and 9 for solar) Never have had an issue with it.
