Step 4:

Click ‘Add Users' on the top right corner of the pop up window.

Step 5:

Type in the email address of the user that you are looking to invite to manage your GMB profile. When working with ADVRT this is the email address to use.

Select the permissions that you would like to assign this user. For external companies we recommend assigning permissions no higher than ‘manager'.

Step 6:

Click Invite to send the invitation. Once the invitation has been sent, the agency will receive a notification that you are inviting them to manage this GMB profile and will be able to accept. You can cancel the invitation or revoke access at any point from the ‘Users' tab.

Getting the proper help on board to manage and optimise your Google My Business page can have a massively positive impact on your business and online presence.
