Location Groups

If you add a new location to a GBM location group that’s already connected to GMBapi.com, it will be pulled into your dashboard automatically during the next 24-hour sync.

Location Access

If the locations are owned by someone else, ask the GBP/GBM owner to add the same email used to create your GMBapi.com account as a Manager or Owner on the location (or the full location group) inside Google Business Manager. GMBapi.com will pull the locations in on the next sync.

Connect locations with a link

Use a shareable link so the location-group owner can connect their group themselves:

  • Go to Settings

  • Open the General tab

  • Click Connect

  • In the pop-up, click “Click Here” to copy your personal Connect link

  • Share the link with the GBM owner and ask them to connect their location group

Once they approve it, the new location group will appear in GMBapi.com, and you can switch between groups using the bottom-left selector in the app.

Location Segments

You can organise new clients/locations in two ways:

Whats New New Design

GMBapi.com can’t remove an individual location directly. To remove one location from your dashboard, the GBM owner must remove it from the location group in Google Business Manager. GMBapi.com will reflect the change after the next 24-hour sync.

Disconnect Locations

To remove a full group from your GMBapi.com account:

Google Business Manager

Creating, closing, or deleting GBPs must be done directly in Google Business Manager (Google’s API limitations prevent third-party tools from doing this). After changes are made in Google, GMBapi.com updates on the next sync.

Adding & Removing Locations: Step-by-step

Location Settings
