Connect Google Business Profile to Lovable
You can connect your Google Business Profile to Lovable to manage your business listings directly or within an app you build. This lets you update information, respond to reviews, publish posts, and check performance for your locations.
Business owners, operations teams, and marketing teams who want to manage their Google Business Profiles more efficiently will need this.
Do this, in order
- 1
Go to the 'Connectors' section in Lovable and select 'Google Business Profile'.
This is where you start the process of adding a new connection for your Google Business Profile.
- 2
Click 'Add connection' and choose 'App + chat connector'.
This option allows the connection to be used both by Lovable directly and within any app you publish.
- 3
Give your connection a name (Lovable will suggest one, but you can change it).
This name helps you identify this specific Google Business Profile connection within Lovable.
- 4
Review the requested permission: 'Manage business profiles, locations, verification, and insights'.
This step ensures you understand what Lovable will be able to do with your Google Business Profile data, including reading and managing it.
- 5
Decide if you want to share this connection with others in your workspace, or keep it private to yourself.
Sharing allows other team members to use the connection, while keeping it private restricts access to only you.
- 6
Click 'Connect' and sign in with the Google account that owns or manages the business profiles you want to access, then authorize Lovable.
This links your Google account to Lovable, granting it the necessary access to your business profiles.
- 7
After connecting, ask Lovable to list your business accounts and locations to confirm the connection works.
This verifies that Lovable can successfully access your Google Business Profile data and shows you what locations are available.
Paste this into your project
Use Google Business Profile and list the business accounts and locations I can access. Show each location's name, address, and current opening hours without changing anything.
Words decoded
- Google Business Profile
- A free tool from Google that lets businesses manage how they appear on Google Search and Maps, including their address, hours, photos, and customer reviews.
- App + chat connector
- A type of connection in Lovable that can be used directly by you in chat and also integrated into any app you build and publish.
- Scopes
- These are specific permissions that you grant to an application (like Lovable) when you connect it to another service (like Google). They define what data Lovable can access and what actions it can perform on your behalf.
- API quotas
- Limits set by a service (like Google) on how many requests an application (like Lovable) can make to its system within a certain timeframe. These are to prevent overuse and ensure fair access for everyone.
Where people get stuck
- Do not expect to access private data or full reviews for businesses you don't own or manage; this connector only works for profiles linked to your connected Google account.
- Do not expect to receive real-time notifications or webhooks from Google Business Profile through this connector, as it does not support the Notifications API.
- Do not try to use this connector for public business searches or competitor research; use Google Maps for that purpose.
- Do not assume that revoking Lovable's authorization in Google will automatically update Lovable; you must reconnect the integration in Lovable manually.
- Do not try to bypass Google's verification steps; Lovable cannot complete physical or ownership verification for you.
