Google My Business is extremely important for any business owner. To learn how to merge GMB and Google +, check out this video!
Hey guys! I’m Sam, and today we’re going to talk about how you can easily merge your Google My Business profile and your Google+ profile so that everything is in one place. Google has tons of local and social opportunities for businesses, and it’s easy to get them confused if you use them all. If you’re looking for a better way to manage your business opportunities from Google, keep watching. We’ll talk about the best way to merge Google My Business profile and Google+ profiles. If you don’t have a Google My Business page, you can easily set one up by visiting https://www.google.com/business/. However, if you do have a GMB page, but it’s not yet connected to Google Maps or Google+, follow these steps.
1. Create a Google+ page for your business at plus.google.com
2. Verify your new page on Google Maps and log into your Google + page
3. Select the pages tab from the bar on the left-hand side of your screen
4. Click “manage this page” on the local page
5. Click the sidebar in the upper left corner
6. Scroll down and click “settings”
7. Scroll to the profile section, and click “connect to different page.”
8. You’ll see a dialog begins – however you must be the owner of the page. Choose the page that you’d like to connect with Maps, and click “Next.”
A list of changes will occur on your page will become available. Make sure you read through them, and when you’re good to go, click confirm. There are a list of changes you can expect on your Google+ page:
1. Your business will show up on Google Maps
2. You’ll see a name and verification badge
3. You’ll no longer see photos
4. Owner responses to local review will disappear
5. You’ll retain followers, posts, and managers
Your former local page will change too
1. It’ll no longer show on Google Maps, show business information, or show reviews
2. It’ll be renamed to “backup of business page name]”
3. Will retain photos, followers, posts, and managers
4. It’ll still be visible on Google+ but will no longer show Google Ads campaigns.
