- The Google account that owns your Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that appears on Google Maps and in local search results. To ensure your digital presence is completely aligned across the web, we may need access to update your hours, add photos, configure services, or optimize your local SEO.
Quick summary
Search for your business on Google while signed in to the Google account that manages the profile. Select More, then Business Profile settings, then People and access. At the top left select Add, enter support@chykalophia.com, and under Access choose Manager.
Step-by-step instructions
You manage a Business Profile straight from Google Search and Maps, and that is also where you add other people to it.
Sign in to Google. You have to be signed in to the Google account associated with your Business Profile, or you won't find it.
Find your business. On Google Search, search for your business's name and city, or search for "my business". Your profile's management tools appear in the results. (Searching your business's name and city on Google Maps works too.)
Open settings. On your profile, select More.
Select People and access. From that menu, click Business Profile settings, and then click People and access.
Enter our info and role. Enter support@chykalophia.com as the email address. Under Access, select Manager.
Send the invite. Select Invite. We will accept the invitation to help manage your profile. Until we accept, you'll see us under "Pending" on the same page.
Common questions
What is the difference between an Owner and a Manager?
Owners have full control of the profile: they can add and remove users, edit the business info, and delete the profile. A Manager has mostly the same access — editing business info, posting updates, responding to reviews — but cannot add or remove users and cannot remove the profile. To keep your business safe, we only request Manager access. (A profile can have several owners, but only one primary owner.)
I don't see my profile when I search my business name.
This usually means you are logged into the wrong Google account (for
example, your personal @gmail.com address instead of your work
@yourcompany.com address). To find your profile, you must be signed in to the
Google account associated with it.
My listing shows a 'Claim this business' link—what does that mean?
If your public Google listing offers a "Claim this business" link, the profile exists but hasn't been claimed and verified yet. Let your project lead know, and we can guide you through claiming and verifying it so we can optimize it together. Google doesn't charge to add or claim a business.
