Connecting Google Business Profile

Connect Google Business Profile

1. Apply for Google Business Profile API access at Google Cloud Console. Approval can take 2–6 weeks — start early.
2. Once approved, get your OAuth client_id and client_secret and paste them into appsettings.json under Sources:Google (your operator handles this).
3. Visit Sources, click Connect Google on the location, sign in to your Google Business account, and approve access.
4. Reviews start syncing within 30 minutes. Replies you post in our inbox publish back to Google automatically.

Tip: While waiting on Google, set Sources:Google:UseMock = true to use the mock connector. The whole flow works identically; reviews are synthetic.
