Google Location Import
Table of Contents
The Google Location Import feature allows you to quickly import locations from your Google Business Profile into Uberall. It’s designed to support both small businesses and large resellers, making it easy to onboard anything from a single location to tens of thousands of locations at scale
What is Google Location Import?
Google Location Import lets you connect your Google Business Profile account to Uberall and import locations directly—without manual data entry. You can:
- Import locations in bulk
- Import a single location
- Choose which locations and groups to import
- Decide whether to import only or import and immediately sync with Google
- See detailed import results, including partial imports and failures
Who can use this feature?
The feature is available to the following user roles:
- Admin
- Account Manager
- Business Manager
How to access Google Location Import
Navigate to Location Hub
Select Add New Location → Google Import
What you see next depends on whether you’ve imported locations before:
- First-time users will see an empty state prompting them to connect Google
-
Returning users will see a table of previous imports, including:
- Google account used
- Number of locations
- Import date
- Status (In Progress, Completed, Failed, Partial)
Start a new Google import
Click New Google Import (or Sign into Google Business Profile) to begin.
Step 1: Connect your Google account
You’ll be prompted to sign in via Google OAuth. Uberall will securely save the connection so you can reuse it later or switch accounts if needed
Step 2: Select location groups
Once connected, you’ll see your Google location groups:
- Group name and ID
- Number of locations per group
- Search by group name or ID
If your account only has one group, this step is skipped automatically
Step 3: Select locations to import
After choosing a group, you can select individual locations.
For each location, you’ll see:
- Location name
- Address (or service area for SABs)
- Store code
- Verification status
You can:
- Search by name, address, or store code
- Select or deselect locations using checkboxes
- Navigate large lists using pagination
Selected locations are visually highlighted in the table
Step 4: Choose a business
You can either:
- Import locations into an existing business, or
- Create a new business
Default behavior:
- If you already have businesses, “Import to existing business” is selected by default
- If you have no businesses, a new business is created automatically
If you’re importing only one location into a new business, Uberall will prefill fields like business name and address based on the location data
Step 5: Review & Import
On the Review & Import screen, you choose how and where your locations will be imported.
Import options
You can choose between:
Import – imports locations into Uberall without starting a sync
Import & Sync – imports locations and immediately starts syncing them with Google
Step 6: Import results & status
After starting an import, you can track its progress from the Google Import table.
Possible statuses:
- In Progress – status updates automatically
- Completed
- Completed with Errors
- Failed
Failed or partially imported locations
If some locations fail to import, Uberall shows exactly what went wrong.
You can:
- View failed locations
- Retry the import
- Download an error report (CSV) containing:
- Location identifier
- Address
- Reason for failure
Common failure rules
Missing primary category → location is not imported
Missing secondary category → location is imported without that category
Unsupported attributes → location is imported, unsupported fields are reported
Even if some fields can’t be imported, Uberall will import everything it can and mark the result as a partial import
Why use Google Location Import?
- Faster onboarding for large and small accounts
- Scales to tens of thousands of locations
- Reduces manual work and operational support
- Clear visibility into import success and issues
