To set up a Google Business Profile and provide agency access, follow these detailed steps:


Create a Google account:

If you don't have one, create a Google account using your business email domain for better management later on.


Access the Google Business profile page:

Go to the Google Business profile page and click on "Manage now" to start the setup process.


Enter your business information:

  • Business Name: Input your business name and click "Continue."
  • Business Type: Select the type of business you operate (e.g., online retail, local store, service business) and click "Next."
  • Location details: If you have a physical location, enter your address and position a marker on the map. For service area businesses without a physical storefront, indicate your service areas (up to 20) instead of an address.
  • Contact information: Provide your phone number and website URL. These will be publicly visible on your profile.


Verification: 

  • Choose a verification method (e.g., email code, phone call, or postcard) to confirm ownership of the business profile. Verification is essential for managing your profile effectively.


Optimize your profile: 

  • After verification, enhance your profile by adding business hours, descriptions, photos, and messaging options to attract more customers.


How do I provide agency access?

Once your profile is set up, you can grant access to an agency or other users.


Sign in to your Google Business profile:

  •  Use the account that manages your business profile.


Navigate to the user's section:

  •  In the dashboard, find the "Users" option (this may be under settings or account management).

Add users:

  •  Click on the "Invite new users" button.
  • Enter the email address "beheragroupofllc@gmail.com" to add.
  • Assign a role (owner, manager, or communications manager) based on the level of access you wish to provide.

Send invitation:

  • After setting the role, send the invitation. The invited user will need to accept it to gain access to manage the profile.


Manage user permissions:

  • You can modify or remove user access at any time through the same Users section in your profile settings.


By following these steps, you can successfully set up your Google Business Profile and manage agency access effectively.
