A quick instruction for how to add another administrator to your Google My Business account. This instruction is for people who have already set up your Google My Business account and verified it. To begin, go to your Google My Business address, which is business.google. Com. You can also navigate to your profile if you know the direct link, but most people don't, so this is the easiest way to go after it. Next, click on the business name that you wish to add an administrator for, and this will take you to your Google My Business page. Look for the hamburger menu, click that to reveal the vertical menu, and then click Business Profile Settings, and you'll get a new pop up. Click on the Managers option to open up the manager page. And you'll be able to see anyone who's already set up as a manager on that account. And just above all of those names is this little Add button. Put in the email address of the person that you wish to add. If you're adding Work Smart marketing the email address to add is support@ smallbusineswerx.com. Underneath, you choose what access you want to give them.

In most cases, all you need to select is manager. But if you want your administrative partner to be able to edit your profile and add other managers to your profile, then you would select owner. Now, when you select owner, you are not automatically transferring ownership of the business profile. This piece scares people. There's another level of ownership which doesn't even exist on this access page, and that's the primary owner of the account. But if you were going to transfer the account to another business owner. First, you would have to make that person an owner, and then there would be another instruction for how you would transfer the primary ownership to that owner person. But like I said, most of the time, a manager can do what you need them to do in your Google My Business profile. After that, just hit the invite button and you're done.
