Google Business Profile Manager
In order to access your GBP (Google Business Profile) we will need to be added as a manager to your profile. We only require manager access in order to optimize your listing. You, as the business owner should be the owner of your profile. In order to grant manager access you will need to log into your profile at business.google.com This will bring you to the locations portion of your profile manager. This will provide a list of all profiles that you have access or ownership of. Here you can see the status of your listing. We want to gain access to the verified listing if you have more than one.
