Connect Google Business Profiles securely through Google’s official APIs.
GBPPromote uses Google OAuth 2.0 and the official Google Business Profile APIs to connect authorized locations. You sign in with Google, review the permissions, choose the profiles you want to connect, and stay in control of that access.
API integration, with authorization controlled by Google.
GBPPromote does not ask customers to hand over Google credentials. The business owner or authorized manager signs in with Google and explicitly grants the permissions required for the connected workflow.
Google’s Business Profile documentation requires applications using the Business Profile APIs to authorize requests with OAuth 2.0. Google also states that OAuth establishes that a partner platform can access or modify location data only with the business owner’s explicit consent, and that the owner can later revoke that access.

Google integration questions.
Is GBPPromote connected through Google’s official Business Profile APIs?
GBPPromote’s connected Google Business Profile functionality uses the Google Business Profile API ecosystem and Google OAuth authorization. Google’s own documentation for these APIs is linked above so customers and IT teams can review how the integration model works.
Does GBPPromote need my Google password?
No. Google authentication takes place through Google’s OAuth flow. Your Google password is not entered into GBPPromote.
Can GBPPromote access every Google Business Profile?
No. Access depends on the Google account used for authorization and the profiles or locations that account is permitted to manage. The customer remains responsible for ensuring the connecting user is an authorized owner or manager.
Can I remove GBPPromote’s access later?
Yes. You can disconnect the integration and revoke third-party account access through your Google Account permissions.
Does using Google’s APIs mean Google endorses GBPPromote?
No. API access and OAuth integration should not be interpreted as an endorsement, sponsorship or certification by Google. Google and Google Business Profile are trademarks of Google LLC.
Can our IT or procurement team review the integration before rollout?
Yes. Multi-location and enterprise customers can contact GBPPromote for integration, privacy, DPA and security-review information before connecting locations.
Want your IT team to review the connection before rollout?
