The complexity of the role is easy to understand when you account for just how vital Google Business Profiles are in a business\u2019s overall digital marketing ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That little right-hand panel on Google search engine results pages (SERPs) provides an awful lot of value both to local businesses and their clients: it\u2019s a place to showcase products and services, provide name, address, and phone number data (NAP data), answer questions, gather and respond to reviews, collect valuable data about how customers interact with the profile and boost overall SEO performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The responsibility of effectively managing all these moving parts of a Google Business Profile falls on the profile owner or manager. Let\u2019s take a look at the key responsibilities that come with the job.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"google\">Google Business Profile Manager core responsibilities<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Google Business Profile management is a strategic role that involves a variety of tasks aimed at maintaining and enhancing the online presence and reputation of local SMBs. When you add a manager to a Google Business Profile, these are the responsibilities they should be aware of:<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"managing\">Managing the account on behalf of the owner<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you add a manager to Google Business Profile, it\u2019s generally so they can share or take over responsibility for <a href=\"\/blog\/google-business-profile-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managing the account<\/a> from the business owner. This means they should check the account regularly to ensure the business info is accurate, reviews are addressed, questions are answered, new posts are created, <a href=\"\/blog\/add-keywords-google-business-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keywords are incorporated<\/a> through the profile and anything else that requires attention is swiftly addressed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Managing the account also entails keeping information fresh and engaging, encouraging customers and prospects to visit it more frequently. Adding new photos is a great way to do this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s worth noting that to effectively manage and update a profile, the Google business should be verified. <a href=\"\/blog\/google-verify-my-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verifying a Google Business<\/a> should be the very first step when establishing a new profile. This is usually done by having a postcard sent to the business location, but there are <a href=\"\/blog\/verify-google-business-profile-without-postcard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other ways to verify a business<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"editing\">Editing the business profile information<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like just about any online profile, the Google Business Profile isn\u2019t something that should just be set up once and forgotten about. Instead, it needs to be managed on an ongoing basis so that it always reflects the most accurate and up-to-date information to viewers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Google Business Profile manager should be on the ball about these updates to avoid misinforming prospective customers. For example, let\u2019s say a local gym closes one hour early in the summer. If they don\u2019t update their <a href=\"\/blog\/google-business-hours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google business hours<\/a> to reflect the temporary schedule change, they\u2019ll likely end up with lots of frustrated customers ready to work out showing up at closing time. The disappointment may even end up losing the gym customers. Plus, if Google\u2019s algorithm deems a business\u2019s information isn\u2019t accurate, it can damage the business\u2019s SEO performance or even lead to a <a href=\"\/blog\/google-account-suspension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google account suspension<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To avoid these costly and reputation-damaging scenarios, Google Business Profile managers are often the first point of contact for any <a href=\"\/blog\/google-business-profile-optimization-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">updates, changes, or optimizations required for the profile<\/a>. When adding an admin to a Google Business Profile, it\u2019s important that they understand the responsibility of keeping everything up-to-the-minute current.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"reviews\">Managing reviews and engaging with customers<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the most valuable features of the Google <a href=\"\/blog\/can-you-search-google-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Profile<\/a> is the ability for customers to leave reviews and send messages. It&#8217;s the manager&#8217;s duty to actively respond to these reviews and communications. They should acknowledge and thank customers for positive feedback and swiftly and professionally address any concerns or negative feedback raised by customers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Users can also ask questions on Google Business Profiles, giving profile managers a chance to answer them in a way that will benefit other viewers. Answering these quickly and informatively is a great way to make a strong impact with a Google profile. When you add a manager to <a href=\"\/blog\/google-business-questions-and-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Business Profile<\/a>, they should be provided with a best practices guide for managing reviews and answering questions.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"announcing\">Announcing updates and promotions<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Failing to share updates and promotions on Google Business Profile is one of the most common ways in which local businesses underuse this powerful resource. When adding an admin to a Google Business Profile, one of their regular tasks should be to share new offers, sales promotions, and other <a href=\"\/blog\/add-products-google-business-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">product or service updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since a Google Business Profile has the potential to be seen by numerous motivated local prospects, enticing them with deals and other incentives can provide a valuable boost to your client\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"gauge\">Gauge performance through insights<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like many other digital platforms, Google Business Profile comes with built-in analytics called <a href=\"\/blog\/google-business-profile-insights-update\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Insights<\/a>. A proficient manager should regularly check these insights to understand customer behavior, peak interaction times, and other valuable metrics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This data can then be used to make informed decisions and strategize further enhancements to the profile. Tracking analytics over time also provides a great high-level view of how effective SEO efforts are since lots of views are a good indicator of SEO success.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"collaboration\">Collaboration with other managers<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s not uncommon for a Google Business Profile to have multiple managers. For example, your agency team may share responsibilities with business owners and their marketing staff. Profile owners and managers need to be able to collaborate effectively to make sure every activity we\u2019ve discussed so far is undertaken regularly. This requires clear communication, a shared vision for the business&#8217;s online presence, and a reliable system for delegating tasks and tracking what\u2019s been done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Collaboration is also impacted by the access level of each manager. If you\u2019re a Google Business Profile manager and add a user, you can define how much control they have over the account. Profile owners have ultimate control over an account, including the ability to add managers or remove them. The only way to hand over total control of an account is to follow the instructions on how to transfer ownership of a Google Business Profile account.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;How to add a manager to a Google Business Profile&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How to add a manager to a Google Business Profile<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now that you know everything that goes into effectively managing these accounts, let\u2019s get into the step-by-step guide on how to add a manager to Google Business Profile.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Go to business.google.com and log in to your Google Business Profile.

They need to accept the invitation to become a manager.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your Google Business Profile looks a little different, don\u2019t worry.

However, you might find yourself in a situation where you\u2019re providing guidance to a local business that has recently changed ownership. In that case, here\u2019s how to transfer ownership of a Google Business Profile account:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Go to the Google Business Profile and select the three-dot menu as above.<\/li>\n<li>Choose &#8220;Business Profile settings&#8221; and then &#8220;Managers.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Find the user you want to change access for and select them (note that they should already be added as a manager or owner).<\/li>\n<li>Select the role &#8220;Primary owner&#8221; for the new owner.<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Save&#8221; to confirm the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The transfer of ownership happens right away, and no confirmation is necessary from the new primary owner.

What is the role of a manager in a Google Business Profile?<\/h3>\n<p>A manager helps maintain and improve a business\u2019s online presence. They handle profile updates, respond to reviews, publish posts, and monitor analytics. While they can manage daily tasks, they can\u2019t remove users or delete the profile.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Who can add or remove users from a Google Business Profile?<\/h3>\n<p>Only the <strong>owner<\/strong> or <strong>primary owner<\/strong> can add or remove users. Managers can remove themselves but can\u2019t make access changes for others.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Can a Google Business Profile have more than one owner?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Multiple owners can exist, but there\u2019s only <strong>one primary owner<\/strong> with full administrative control. The primary owner can transfer ownership, delete the profile, or assign new owners.<\/p>\n<h3>4. How do you add a manager or owner to a profile?<\/h3>\n<p>Sign in to your Google Business Profile \u2192 select the business \u2192 click <strong>Business Profile settings<\/strong> \u2192 choose <strong>Managers<\/strong> \u2192 add the user\u2019s email \u2192 assign a role (<strong>Owner<\/strong> or <strong>Manager<\/strong>) \u2192 click <strong>Invite<\/strong>. The invitee must accept before gaining access.<\/p>\n<h3>5. How do you remove a manager from a profile?<\/h3>\n<p>Go to your profile\u2019s <strong>Business Profile settings<\/strong>, click <strong>Managers<\/strong>, select the person\u2019s name, then choose <strong>Remove user<\/strong>. If you\u2019re a manager, you can only remove yourself from access.<\/p>\n<h3>6. What happens when you transfer ownership of a Google Business Profile?<\/h3>\n<p>Ownership transfer takes effect immediately. The new primary owner gains full access and can make changes after a 7-day waiting period. The former owner becomes a standard owner unless removed.<\/p>\n<h3>7. What are the key responsibilities of a profile manager?<\/h3>\n<p>Managers handle reviews, questions, updates, and local SEO tasks. They must ensure accurate business hours, fresh posts, and correct contact details to avoid misinformation or suspension.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Can adding or removing users impact SEO or rankings?<\/h3>\n<p>No. User management changes don\u2019t affect SEO. Rankings are influenced by profile activity, accurate data, and customer engagement\u2014not by ownership or access adjustments.<\/p>\n<h3>9. How can agencies securely manage client profiles?<\/h3>\n<p>Use an <strong>agency email<\/strong>, not personal accounts. Request <strong>Manager<\/strong> access instead of ownership, maintain transparency with clients, and ensure prompt removal when the partnership ends.<\/p>\n<h3>10.
