FAQs
What kind of Google connection is made - on account (business) or location level?
Google connection is made on location level. This means that subsequently added locations need to be individually connected after they are created. Find out more on how to connect your locations to Google here.
How are the accounts (businesses) named?
They inherit the names of the Google location groups. If the Google location group carries the same name as a previously created account, the location data will be imported there.
How are ungrouped locations imported?
They are grouped and imported into a single business (account) carrying the name of the Google Business Profile user that is importing it.
Which locations are pulled from Google Business Profile?
All locations except suspended locations.
