Connect Google Business Profile

The Google Business Profile connection is a separate Google sign-in that brings in the business profiles (locations) you manage. Sayweek publishes an approved post to the chosen location at its scheduled time.

Connect

1. 1Open Settings → Brands & channels.
2. 2In the How Sayweek publishes – connected accounts area, click + Connect account.
3. 3In the Which account do you want to connect? window, choose Google Business Profile.
4. 4Sign in with the Google account that manages the business profile and allow access.
5. 5Back in Sayweek, tick the location in the What should we do with the new account? window and choose New brand for these or Add to an existing brand.

If your account manages several locations, pick one on the channel's Edit → Publishing → Directly tab under Where should it post directly?. Connecting needs the owner or editor role.

Posts

• In the post editor, the Post type can be Update, Offer or Event; events and offers need a title and a start date.
• Under Button you can add a button (e.g. book, order); every button except “Call now” needs a link.
• Photo: JPEG or PNG, at least 250×250 px, max. 5 MB. The text can be up to 1,500 characters.
• Delete a published post with Delete from the platform.

Statistics

Sayweek fetches the location's daily figures: views on Maps and Search, website clicks, calls and direction requests. Google no longer provides figures per post.

Disconnect

1. 1Open Settings → Brands & channels and expand the How Sayweek publishes – connected accounts area.
