Congratulations! If you're reading this, you’ve probably just joined hundreds of other local SEOs who use Whitespark’s Local Platform to protect their Google Business Profiles.

You can start to unlock the full power of GBP management in just three easy steps -- and you’ve already done the first one!

Enable GBP Management for your locations

When signing up for the tool, you would have selected Google Business Profiles to import into Local Platform. These locations will already have GBP Management enabled!

If you wish to import additional locations, you can find more information here: https://support.whitespark.ca/en/articles/8950081-how-do-i-enable-gbp-management-for-a-location

Manage your pending GBP updates

The Whitespark Local Platform can monitor your Google Business Profiles for updates, and help you approve or reject them easily!

Every location that has GBP Management turned on is continually monitored for updates to their business info. You can review and approve/reject your GBP updates by viewing the GBP updates screen in the Local Platform.

Learn more about how you can manage GBP updates here: https://support.whitespark.ca/en/articles/8950082-how-do-i-manage-my-gbp-updates

Configure your notification preferences

Locations in the Whitespark Local Platform with GBP Management enabled have convenient options for how to be notified of GBP updates.

By default, you will be notified via email whenever a monitored Google Business Profile is updated. Your email notifications are also highly configurable, so you can tune your notifications to work best for you.

Create a one-click website for your GBP (optional)

Looking for a dead simple solution to get your business on the web? Locations in Local Platform are eligible for a one-click website.
