How to add me to your Google Business Profile (GMB) so I can do an audit

Before you start

Don't give me any passwords. Seriously. Leave the passwords for Netflix.

Computer-based instruction (fastest)

Step 1: Open the company profile settings

Go to Google and type in the name of your company.
On the right you will see your company panel (profile).
Click the three dots or the profile management option.
Go to Business Profile settings.

Step 2: Go to „People and access”

Under Business Profile settings, click on People and access.

Step 3: Add me

Click Add.

In the Add person window, in the Email field, type: handlopolis@gmail.com
Choose a role:
Manager (recommended for audit and revision)
Owner only if you want to give me full rights (usually there is no need)
Click Invite.
Done. You send an invitation and that's it.

Instruction via Google Maps (phone or computer)

Open Google Maps.
Go to your company profile (usually: „Your Business” / „Your Business Profiles”).
Open the Business Profile settings.
Enter People and access.
Click Add.
Enter handlopolis@gmail.com
Select Manager.
Click Invite.

What's next

I get the invitation email and accept access.
I do a profile analysis and get back to you with a list of things to improve (or we improve straight away if we have it fixed).

How to remove me when finished (for peace of mind)

Business Profile settings → People and access
You click on my account (handlopolis@gmail.com)
You either select Remove access or change the role.

The most common problem

You don't see „People and access”
This usually means that you do not have owner (Owner/Primary owner) rights. This must then be done by the person who owns the profile.
