Connect Google Business Profile
Local posts and reviews for your business locations, through your Google account.
Before you start
- You must manage the business on Google, and the location must be verified by Google to publish.
- Each location = one social profile.
Connect Google Business Profile
- Choose the brand in the header, open Social Accounts and select Connect on the Google Business Profile card.
- Google’s page opens: choose the Google account that manages the business and select Continue.
- Approve every permission: without one of them, a part of JustCaster stays empty (figures, comments or publishing).
- Every location is listed as “name · city”. Tick the locations of this brand.
- Select Connect: the accounts show Connected.
Publish on Google Business Profile
Write the post in Create Post and tick the Google Business Profile account in Publish to. Network checks shows “Ready” or what to fix for Google Business Profile:
| Rule | On this network |
|---|---|
| Text | Up to 1,500 characters; the first link becomes a “Learn more” button |
| Photo | 1 photo (JPEG or PNG, 10 KB to 5 MB); no video |
What JustCaster reads and does
- Reviews: read every 3 hours, answered from JustCaster.
- Google gives no post figures (N/A in Analytics) and posts cannot be boosted.
