Add a Google Business Profile manager

This is your business listing on Google Search and Maps. A manager can help keep it up to date while you remain the owner.

The whole process, at a glance

  1. Open your business listing 1 of 3
  2. Invite a manager 2 of 3
  3. They accept the invitation 3 of 3

Before you start

Sign in with the Google Account that owns the profile. Have your agency’s Google Account email ready; use the address in your access request.

Follow these steps

  1. Find the right business

    On Google Search, search your business name and city, or my business. Select the correct location if you manage more than one.

    Your business name + city

  2. Open the people settings

    In the profile’s management controls, select More (⋮) → Business Profile settings → People and access.

    More → Business Profile settings → People and access

  3. Invite your manager

    Select Add, enter the agency’s invitation email, choose Manager under Access, then select Invite.

    Add → Email → Manager → Invite

  4. Check that they joined

    The invitation appears in People and access. After the recipient accepts, Google emails you. Ask your agency to confirm it can open the correct profile.

    Pending invitation → manager added

You’re finished when…

Your agency appears as a Manager and has confirmed the correct business location. Keep your own owner access.

If you get stuck

I cannot find the management controls

Check the Google account shown by your profile picture. The public listing can appear even when you are signed in to a different account. Switch to the account associated with the business, then search again.

I cannot add someone

Only owners can manage other users. Ask the existing owner to send the invitation. If ownership is lost or belongs to someone else, use Google’s ownership-request process below rather than creating another listing.

What can a Manager do?

Managers can edit business information, publish posts, and reply to reviews. They cannot add or remove users or remove the profile.

How do I remove access later?

Open People and access, choose the person, then Remove person. Their past work, such as review replies, stays on the profile.
