How to Safely Add an Agency to Your Google Business Profile (fka Google My Business)
When you begin working with an agency to help with your local search efforts, the agency may ask you to add them to your Google Business Profile. Adding the agency as a manager for your listing is beneficial as it allows account managers to check out the current state of your listing, see if all of the information has been added properly and also to come up with recommendations for improvement.
Owners of Google Business Profile listings can invite additional users to own or manage a Google Business Profile listing. Adding owners and managers lets users share management of a listing without having to share personal account information. Owners, managers, and communications managers all have different levels of access to the listing.
Only an owner can add or remove users. However, a manager may remove himself or herself from a listing.
Add owners or managers
To add an owner or manager to a listing:
- Sign in to your Google Business Profile account.
- If you have multiple locations, open the location you’d like to manage.
- It will take you to a Search Results page showing your business with buttons that allow you to make changes to your business’s profile.
