Listings Innovations
Request Access for Google Business Profile
Activation: Included in all packages or for customers with standalone listings.
Users: Admins
Availability: Coming Soon
Prerequisite: Requires a signed addendum before activation
We are making it easier to get the permissions needed to manage Google Business Profile data in the Uberall platform. With this release, admins can send a request to Google Business Profile owners and request authorization streamlining the onboarding process. This is a great option for decentralized models where a corporate team may otherwise struggle with connecting franchisees' GBPs.
Visit the new ‘Request Access’ page in the Org Settings of the platform. Here, users will be able to create and manage access links. When creating a link, businesses have the opportunity to brand the request and add a custom message to help instill confidence for GBP owners providing access to their locations.
Once an owner receives the request, they can follow a simple process for granting access to manage their GBP listings. All that is required is for the owner to login into their Google Business Profile account, select the business and locations to provide access for. The request can be completed on desktop or mobile - making it easy for any franchisee to provide access anywhere they are! Once access is granted, admins will be able to then proceed with connecting the GBP to the platform.
Mobile App Innovations
Brand-Level Posting for Facebook & Instagram
Activation: Included in all packages
Users: Multi-Location Managers
Availability: Available Now
This feature allows regional and location managers to create, edit, and delete posts on brand-level directories directly from the mobile app to both Facebook and Instagram. Whether you’re a location manager posting about your store or a regional manager overseeing multiple locations, this update gives you the flexibility to post authentic content on the go—saving time and driving higher engagement.
Easily create and publish posts for Facebook and Instagram from your mobile device, empowering your team to be more responsive and authentic. Location and regional managers now have more autonomy to post content that resonates with local audiences while maintaining brand consistency. Posting on the go allows more frequent updates, driving higher engagement with your followers and enhancing your organic social reach.
