Is My Google Business Profile Connected to My Account?

Short Answer: To check if your Google Business Profile is connected to your account, look for it under the ‘Location’ section in your assets on the right side. If your profile is missing, you can easily add it by clicking on the ‘+ Location’ button.

Full Explanation

Your Google Business Profile connection status can be conveniently verified within your account interface. When you navigate to the assets area, you will find a section labeled ‘Location’ on the right side. This section lists all business profiles linked to your account. If your specific business profile does not appear here, it means it is not yet connected to your account.

In this case, you have the option to establish the connection manually. By clicking the ‘+ Location’ button, you can add your business profile to your account, ensuring its visibility and management within the platform.
