    November

    Send White-label Emails from Your Own Address

    Feature

    You can now send White-label emails from your own address, with your own sender name and an optional reply-to email.

    Your clients see your brand in their inbox, and replies can go straight to your team.

    To set it up, open Settings and go to the White-label tab. Under Email sender, fill in Sender name and Sender email, add a Reply-to email if you like, and click Save. Then add the DNS records shown at your domain provider and click Verify. The sender changes once the records are verified.

    Learn moreEmail sender section of the White-label tab with sender name, sender email and reply-to email fields.

    Run White-label on Your Own Domain

    Feature

    You can now connect your own domain to White-label, so your clients sign in on a branded login such as app.yourdomain.com and your location websites run on addresses such as yourlocation.yourdomain.com.

    Everything your clients open carries your brand, and your existing White-label subdomain keeps working too.

    To set it up, open Settings and go to the White-label tab. Under Custom domain, add the DNS records shown at your domain provider. The Found column shows when each record is in place, and Branded login and Websites show Live and Connected once they work. To move an existing location website to your domain, use the Location websites tab.

    Learn moreCustom domain section of the White-label tab with Branded login and Websites connected to your own domain.

    Create a Website for Every Location

    Feature

    You can now generate a public website for each location straight from its business profile, then customise it and preview it before it goes live.

    Pick the website language, fonts and colours, choose which sections appear (Services, Reviews, News, Features and Contact) and drag them into the order you want. You can also show ratings from other sources next to your Google rating and set the website's subdomain.

    To use it, open Locations, select a location and click Website in the location menu. Switch on Website generation, use Open customizer and Open layout editor to make your changes, check the Mobile or Desktop preview, then click Publish.

    Learn moreWebsite page for a location in GMBapi with Website generation switched on and a live template preview of the location's website.

    Choose Which Pages Your White-label Users See

    Improvement

    You can now choose which pages your White-label users can open, so they only see the parts of the app you want to offer them.

    Hide pages such as Locations, Citations, Performance or Settings to keep the White-label app simple and focused. The Users page always stays visible.

    To use it, open Settings and go to the White-label tab. Under Visible pages, tick the pages your White-label users should see, untick the ones you want to hide, and click Save.

    Learn moreWhite-label tab in GMBapi Settings with the Visible pages checkboxes highlighted.

    See Rank, Reviews and Competitors for Each Campaign

    Improvement

    Every Google Maps campaign in Local Ranking now has its own dashboard. Open a campaign to see average visibility, average position, review score and active locations across all its locations and keywords, with trend charts and your top performing locations.

    The Reviews tab shows how many review requests and image uploads each location needs to match the business ranked first, third or fifth on the map, and how many 5-star reviews it needs to reach 4.5 stars. The Competitors tab shows which competitors appear around your locations over time.

    To use it, open Local Ranking, stay on the Campaigns tab and click the arrow on a campaign. Use the location and keyword filters at the top to narrow the results. Google Maps Campaigns are in open preview.

    See Which Locations AI Recommends

    Feature

    You can now track AI visibility for each of your locations, not just for your brand. Location campaigns show how often AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Perplexity mention each location, with its visibility, average position, sources and sentiment.

    What AI assistants recommend can differ from one area to the next, so this shows which branches are being mentioned and which are missing out.

    To use it, open AI Visibility and select a campaign marked Locations. The Overview tab shows the totals, and the Locations tab lists every location's prompts, visibility, position and sentiment, with Category and Topic filters. The Sources and Competitors tabs show which sites the models cite and which businesses they mention. AI Visibility is in open preview.

    Track Your Brand in AI Search Visibility

    Feature

    You can now see how often your brand appears in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview and Perplexity. Each AI Visibility monitor shows your visibility score, average position, brand mentions and citations, and compares you with your top competitors.

    This helps you spot where competitors are recommended instead of you, and which websites AI tools cite most often.

    To use it, open AI Visibility in the side menu and click Create AI Visibility Monitor. Pick a branded segment, choose Auto-generate prompts or Custom prompts, and click Next. Open a monitor to see its Overview, Prompts, Citations and Competitors tabs.

    Feature

    Reach more locations in one step with group-wide and segment-wide posting. When you create a post, you can now send it to specific locations, every location in the location group, or every location in your current segment. Scheduled posts also include locations added before they go live, so every branch stays up to date.

    Learn moreCreate a new post modal with Location Group Wide Posts selected

    More Location Details in Your Local Schema

    Improvement

    Your Local Business Schema now includes more of each location's Google Business Profile details: place action links, services with their descriptions, special hours and attributes.

    Search engines read this structured data from your website, so richer schema helps them show accurate and complete information about each location.

    To use it, open a location and go to the Local Schema tab. Click Copy Code and embed the script in the body section of your website. For multi-location businesses, add each location's script to its own subpage. Scripts you have already embedded pick up the new details automatically.

    Automatic review replies can now follow each location's opening hours, so responses go out while your business is open.

    Leave Active Reply Hours off to use each location's own hours, or turn it on to set one fixed schedule, with a timezone, active days and start and end times, for every location in that configuration.

    To find it, go to Settings, open the Automation tab and, under Auto Reply, create a configuration or edit an existing one. Active Reply Hours is on the Reply Window step.

    Improvement

    You can now see how many of your Google reviews include photos or videos. The Reviews page shows a new Reviews with Media Count tile next to your average rating, total reviews and reply rate.
