How to add users to your Google My Business listing? article image for Virtual Innovation

When sharing the management of your Google listing, you will allow each user to access and modify the information. Be wary with who you trust this access, as the management of your business listing also represents your business’ credibility. Each user will then have their own password to log in. 

When you first create a Google My Business account, by default you are considered to be the primary owner of your business listing. If you want to add users to your listing simply do the following: 

- **Sign in:** Once you are logged into your Google My Business [account](https://www.google.com/intl/en%5Fuk/business/). When you land on your dashboard, on the left navigation click on ‘**Users**.’

- **Choose location:** If you have already set up more than one location in your business listing, you have the option to add a new user to a selected location
- **Add user:** Click on the ‘**Users**’ options menu on the left and this will open up a new window. Then, enter the email address of the user you want to add.
- **Invite user:** When clicking on ‘**invite now**’, take note of the drop-down menu underneath which shows ‘**choose a role.**’

- **Select role:** You can choose which type of access you want the user to have to the Google My Business listing.

You have now successfully added a user to your Google listing! Once this process is completed, the new owner or manager will need to **wait 7 days** before they can manage all the features of the business profile.
