      How to Grant Google Business Profile (GBP) Access in DirectHub

      GBP Access

      DirectHub offers a seamless way to manage your Google Business Profile (GBP) by allowing you to grant access to your profiles. Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure your team or agency has the necessary access to manage your business listings effectively.

      Step 1: Sign In to Your Google Account

      1. Navigate to Google: Go to https://www.google.com/.
      2. Sign In: Click “Sign in” in the upper right corner. Enter your email address and password, or select the account you use to manage your business profile.

      Step 2: Access Your Business Profile

      1. Select Business Profile: Once logged in, click the nine-dot grid icon next to your profile image and choose “Business Profile”.
      2. Choose Your Location: If you manage multiple locations, select the one you wish to grant access to. If you manage only one location, you will be automatically redirected to Google Search.

      Step 3: Grant Access

      1. Access Business Profile Settings: With your location visible in Google Search, click the three dots next to “Your Business on Google” and select “Business Profile Settings”.
      2. Add a Manager:
        • Click on the “Managers” option.
        • Click “+Add”.
        • Enter the group's ID in the email address field and select your agency’s name when it appears.  (Group ID: 5789294334) 
        • Set the role to “Owner”.
        • Click “Invite” in the bottom right corner.

      Important Considerations

      • Role Selection: Granting "Owner" access allows full control over the GBP, including the ability to manage users and settings.
      • Email Address: Ensure you enter the correct email address to avoid delays in the access grant process.

      Common Issues & Troubleshooting

      • Access Issues: If you encounter issues granting access, double-check the email address and ensure the account used is properly logged in.
      • Multiple Locations: If you manage multiple locations, ensure you select the correct one to avoid granting access to unintended profiles.

      Conclusion

      By following these steps, you can easily grant access to your Google Business Profile through DirectHub, allowing your team or agency to manage and optimize your business listings effectively. For further assistance, contact our support team.
