Vendasta enables Partners to review and manage updates to their clients’ Google Business Profiles (GBP) directly within the Admin portal. This feature gives Partner's control over GBP updates, ensuring the information displayed aligns with the clients’ preferences and maintains consistency across platforms.
How It Works
When Google updates a client’s GBP, you’ll see these updates listed in the Admin portal. You can then take the following actions:
- Approve Changes: Accept Google’s updates, which will sync the updated information across your client’s GBP and any other publishers connected through Local SEO.
- Reject Changes: Reject Google’s updates, which will trigger a new sync to republish the original data you or your client have deemed correct.
This process ensures accuracy while adhering to Google’s Terms of Service, which require user involvement to overwrite GBP data programmatically.
FAQs
Q: Why can’t updates be automatically pushed to Google?
A: Google's Terms of Service prohibit automatic overwrites of GBP data. To ensure compliance, all updates must be reviewed and manually approved or rejected by a user.
