Why Send Google Business Invitations?

Before proceeding with the steps about how to send invitations, let’s understand why you send invitations:

• Jobs are normally distributed.

Step by Step Guide to Sending Google Business Invitations

1. Access Your Google Business Profile

• Sign into your Google Account where your business is connected.
• On Google, search for “My Business” or directly log in to business.google.com
• Select the business you want to manage if you have more than one listing.

2. Users Section

• Click the three dots (menu) at the top right-hand side
• Click “Business Profile settings”
• Click “People and access”

3. Add New User

• Click “Add”
• Type email address of invitee

4. Choose Right Role

Google Business Profile mainly has two roles:

• Owner: Manage access – owner can add/remove users
• Manager: Edit business info, respond to reviews – cannot manage users

Select the role that best grants the permissions required for the tasks that will be performed by the invitee.

5. Send Invitation

• Once you’ve typed an email and selected a role, click “Invite”
• Invitee will receive an email with steps to accept invitation

Best Practice for Sending Invitations

1. Use Work E-mail Addresses: Use professional e-mail addresses associated with your company or business, or the invitee’s organization, when at all possible
2. Verify Accuracy of Email: Double-check the address to which you are sending the invitation in order to avoid accidentally inviting the wrong individual.
3. Communicate Off the Invitation Board: Let the invitee know an invitation is coming so they don’t delete an invitation or mark it as spam.
4. Regularly Review Access: Periodically review who has access to your GBP and remove it for those who no longer need access.
5. Provide Clear Instructions: When you invite someone, clearly state what his or her role and responsibilities will be with regard to managing the GBP.
