We built this platform to take the headache out of managing your online presence. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by trying to keep all your Google listings consistent, responding to reviews across different locations, or just wishing you had one single place to control everything, you're in the right place.
This guide will walk you through the first few simple steps to get everything connected and running smoothly. Let's dive in!
If you don't have an account at EmbedSocial, you can start your free trial here.
Once you will create your account and start a trial, you can connect your GBP account which manages your listings.
Click on the "Continue with Google" to connect your Google account.
2. A Google sign-in window will pop up. Just choose the account you use to manage your business profiles.
Give Google the 'Okay'. Google will ask for your permission to let EmbedSocial manage your listings. This is a standard and secure step – we need the permissions so we can fetch your reviews and help you post replies or update your info.
3. Select which Google listings you want to connect to EmbedSocial, and click on the button "Done. Add listings"
All done 🎉
You are now inside your EmbedSocial GBP account and you can start managing your listings.
