GBPly - Google Business Profile management software

    Google Business Profile Management Features

    Every feature GBPly offers, in one place — built for local businesses managing their own profile and agencies managing many. Each feature notes which plan it's on.

    A Business tag covers both Business and Business x10; an Agency tag covers both Agency and Agency x10. The x10 variants add 10 Google Business Profiles rather than extra features.

    Built for four kinds of user

    Most features serve everyone — but framing depends on who you are.

    Business

    Single-location business

    One profile, you do it all. The core toolkit replaces fiddling inside Google.

    Business

    Multi-location business

    Several locations under one brand. Business x10 or Agency x10 covers 10 profiles in one subscription — usually better value than separate plans per location.

    Agency

    Established GBP agency

    Already offering GBP/SEO services. White-label portal, custom SMTP/SMS and the Review API plug into existing workflows.

    Agency

    Agency adding GBP as a new service

    Add GBP management to existing website and SEO retainers to grow revenue from the clients you already have. Lead Finder and public reports give you the sales pitch; scheduling, AI content and automation handle delivery.

    1. Profile Management & Optimisation

    Edit every part of your Google Business Profile from one place — no more juggling Google's interface, with a GBP Expert score that shows which profile-completeness tasks GBPly recommends prioritising next.

    GBP Expert Score

    GBP Expert gives you a live, weighted profile-completeness score using GBPly's own prioritisation (High-priority items count for 10 points, Medium for 5, Low for 2) — these are our weights, not Google's ranking factors. It tells a single-location business which tasks to work on next, and gives agencies a consistent way to show clients before/after profile completeness and the work completed.

    Business Hours Editor

    Edit regular hours, special hours (holidays, one-off closures) and 'more hours' types (delivery, takeout, drive-through, etc.) with proper timezone-safe formatting that the Google API actually accepts.

    BusinessAgency

    Service Area Editing

    Define and update the towns, cities and postcodes you serve so Google and customers have accurate information about where you operate. Service areas help describe where you work, but they don't guarantee visibility throughout the entire catchment.

    BusinessAgency

    Categories & Attributes

    Manage your primary and additional categories plus business attributes (wheelchair accessible, women-led, has Wi-Fi, etc.) with built-in Google category validation and fallback handling to reduce failed API submissions.

    BusinessAgency

    Description, Phone, Website & Core Details

    Edit business name, description, phone, website and every other core profile field from one panel, with field-level validation before changes are pushed to Google.

    BusinessAgency

    Services Editor

    Manage Google's structured services list (with category fallback so free-form items don't get rejected). A complete services list gives customers clearer information about what you offer and gives Google more detailed information about the business.

    BusinessAgency

    Map Pin (Lat/Lng) Editor

    Adjust your exact map pin location when Google has placed it incorrectly. An incorrect pin can cause inaccurate directions, customer confusion and wrong location information — and because distance is one of Google's stated local-ranking factors, accurate location data matters.

    BusinessAgency

    Chat Settings (SMS & WhatsApp)

    Configure the SMS and WhatsApp chat options that appear on your Google profile, with correctly-formatted URI links so the buttons actually work on mobile.

    BusinessAgency

    Photo & Video Management

    Upload, schedule and organise photos and videos by category (logo, cover, interior, exterior, team, product). Supported formats and sizes (JPEG/PNG, under 5 MB) are validated before upload to reduce failed submissions.

    BusinessAgency

    Profile Switcher & Selection

    Switch between profiles in two clicks. Multi-location businesses move between sites instantly, agencies move between client profiles without losing context.

    BusinessAgency

    2. Posts & Content

    A complete posting workflow — from one-off updates through to a fully AI-planned month of scheduled content, with the safeguards Google needs you to follow.

    AI Content Wizard

    Generate posts, offers and event content tailored to your business. The wizard uses your website content, services and tone of voice as context, so output sounds like you rather than like generic AI filler.

    BusinessAgency

    AI Content Plans (Full Month in One Click)

    Generate a full month of scheduled posts in a single action. Strict guardrails strip emojis, block phone-number stuffing and only allow URLs you've actually supplied — protecting you from the AI hallucinations and policy violations that get profiles suspended.

    BusinessAgency

    Manual Post Creation

    Create What's New posts, Offers (with start/end dates and coupon codes) and Events with full control over CTAs, including the mandatory CTA URL that the Google API requires.

    BusinessAgency

    Post Scheduling

    Plan and schedule posts in advance with timezone-stable UTC anchoring, so users east of UTC don't see scheduled posts shift a day early. Set it and walk away.

    BusinessAgency

    Bulk Post Import (CSV)

    Upload a CSV of dozens of posts at once. Especially valuable for agencies preparing a month of content for many clients in one sitting, or multi-location businesses syndicating campaigns across sites.

    BusinessAgency

    Publishing Activity Reporting

    Google retired per-post view and click metrics in 2023 with no replacement, so we report what is real: publishing activity per profile over any date range, alongside profile-level views, calls, direction requests and website clicks.

    BusinessAgency

    Image Scheduler

    Schedule profile photos, videos and post imagery in advance. The Images dashboard separates Scheduled and Live media into collapsible sections so a packed pipeline never feels overwhelming.

    BusinessAgency

    Agency Refinement Workflow

    Edit AI-generated posts inside the review dialog and save changes without re-triggering scheduling logic. Lets agencies polish a client's draft month of content without breaking the schedule.

    Agency

    3. Reviews & Reputation

    Monitor every review, reply faster, and proactively grow new ones — through email, SMS, print or your CRM.

    Scheduled Review Sync

    All your Google reviews in one dashboard with filter, search and reconciliation logic that protects against accidental deletions when Google's API returns an empty response.

    BusinessAgency

    AI Response Suggestions

    Context-aware reply suggestions for every review — positive or negative — generated in seconds. Reply five-star reviews in bulk; thoughtfully handle the difficult ones with a strong starting draft.

    BusinessAgency

    Reliable Reply Delivery

    Replies use Google's canonical review name with built-in retry logic to reduce failed reply submissions.

    BusinessAgency

    Embeddable Review Widget

    Drop a customisable, branded review widget onto your website to showcase your best Google reviews and build trust before visitors even pick up the phone.

    BusinessAgency

    Email Review Drip Campaigns

    Multi-step automated email sequences asking customers for a Google review, with delivery via our Resend infrastructure or your own SMTP/API connector on Agency.

    BusinessAgency

    SMS Review Requests

    Send review request texts with a direct link to your Google review page. UI dynamically shows enabled countries (currently US, GB, CA) and per-message cost so you never send blind.

    BusinessAgency

    QR Code Review Flyers

    Print-ready QR code flyers linking straight to your Google review page. Perfect for counters, receipts, business cards and trade-show stands.

    BusinessAgency

    Review Request API

    Programmatic email and SMS review requests via a secure API (SHA-256 hashed keys, Cloudflare Worker proxy). Hand it to a developer or plug it into your CRM/booking system to fully automate review collection. Especially powerful for agencies offering review-generation as a service.

    BusinessAgency

    4. Q&A Manager

    A managed FAQ knowledge base for each profile. Google Business Profiles no longer have a public questions and answers feature, so this is where you build, maintain and reuse the answers customers actually need.

    AI-Powered FAQ Knowledge Base

    Generate and maintain the questions customers actually ask, publish the useful ones as Google Business Profile posts, and export the same set as FAQPage structured data to embed on the business website so search engines and AI systems can read the answers.

    BusinessAgency

    Strict Sanitisation

    Every Q&A is automatically stripped of phone numbers and emojis before publishing. Prevents the 'phone stuffing' suspensions that quietly kill profiles relying on AI-generated content.

    BusinessAgency

    5. Profile Guard

    Scheduled monitoring against unwanted profile changes — whether they come from Google's automated systems, third-party suggestions, or rogue access.

    Change Detection

    We snapshot the fields you choose to protect (name, address, phone, hours, categories, website, description and more) and compare every sync against that snapshot to catch external changes the moment they happen.

    BusinessAgency

    One-Click Revert

    Reapply your last-known-good values to Google in one click, without manually re-entering every changed field.

    BusinessAgency

    Full Audit Trail

    Complete history of every detected change with timestamps and side-by-side before/after diffs, so you can prove what changed and when — useful for both your own records and client reporting.

    BusinessAgency

    6. Analytics, Reporting & Insights

    Understand what's actually working, automate the reporting layer, and hand clients (or your boss) something they can read on a phone.

    Performance Insights

    Track views (correctly calculated as Maps + Search combined to work around historical Google data corruption), calls, direction requests and website clicks across any date range.

    BusinessAgency

    Search Keyword Tracking

    See exactly which keywords customers used to find your business on Google, refreshed monthly. The single best signal for what content and categories you should be doubling down on.

    BusinessAgency

    Printable Performance Reports

    Generate clean, neutral, printable performance reports with period-over-period comparisons. Aggressive print CSS strips dashboard chrome so they look like deliverables, not screenshots.

    BusinessAgency

    Public / Shareable Reports

    Share Keyword Rank Tracker and Industry Analysis reports via a direct public link — no login required for the recipient. Agencies use these as living deliverables for clients; businesses use them to prove value to stakeholders.

    BusinessAgency

    Automated Report Notifications

    Each team member chooses their own Daily / Weekly / Bi-weekly / Monthly / Never cadence per profile. The owner doesn't dictate everyone's inbox; everyone gets exactly what they want.

    BusinessAgency

    Platform Impact Analytics

    Compare a profile's baseline performance (median of the first month after connection) with current performance to show how results have changed since active management began. This is a before-and-after comparison rather than proof that GBPly caused the change.

    BusinessAgency

    7. Credit-Based Tools

    Included with every plan via a monthly credit allowance, with optional top-up credits if you need more. Both serve double duty: businesses use them for self-audit and competitive insight, agencies use them as lead-generation and sales assets.

    Keyword Rank Tracker

    Grid-based heatmap that shows where you rank on Google Maps across your entire service area, not just from one notional location. Includes Rank Replay (animated timeline of rank changes), printable reports, and scheduled re-scans for ongoing tracking.

    BusinessAgency

    Industry Analysis

    Analyse any business on Google Maps and get an Opportunity Score showing exact profile gaps, scored relative to its real local cohort rather than against a generic benchmark. For businesses: see where you stand versus your real competition. For agencies: a ready-made auditing engine for prospect outreach.

    BusinessAgency

    Industry Analysis Slideshow (Narrated)

    Turn any Industry Analysis into a narrated, slide-by-slide presentation using browser TTS or your own ElevenLabs API key for studio-quality voice. Businesses use it to internally walk a team through their position; agencies use it as a polished sales asset to show prospects exactly what they're missing.

    BusinessAgency

    8. Bulk Management

    Make the same change across many profiles in one move. Hours of repetitive work, gone.

    Bulk Field Updates

    Sync hours, attributes, services, descriptions and other supported fields across many profiles at once — available as soon as your workspace holds more than one profile (Business x10 and Agency x10 include 10). Multi-location businesses roll out brand or hours changes consistently; agencies push standardised updates to a portfolio of clients in minutes.

    BusinessAgency

    Throttled, Reliable Push

    Bulk pushes are throttled with exponential backoff against Google's API, so you don't trip rate limits halfway through a 50-profile rollout and end up with half-applied changes.

    BusinessAgency

    9. Workspaces, Teams & Multi-Account

    The plumbing that makes the platform work cleanly from one location all the way up to a multi-client agency portfolio.

    Workspaces as the Unit of Ownership

    Workspaces own all profiles, subscriptions, team members and usage records. A personal workspace is auto-created on signup. Subscriptions and credit packs are scoped to the workspace, not the user — so billing stays clean as you grow.

    BusinessAgency

    Team Invitations & Roles

    Invite teammates with owner / admin / editor / viewer permissions. Invited users without an account get a smooth self-registration flow that bypasses email verification, so onboarding a team takes minutes.

    BusinessAgency

    Multiple Google Accounts per User

    Connect multiple Google accounts to one user identity, with proper workspace isolation between them. Essential for agencies whose clients each have their own Google account, and for franchisees managing personal and brand accounts side by side.

    BusinessAgency

    Profile Transfers Between Workspaces

    Move profiles between workspaces you own with explicit, audited workspace-id updates. Clean handoff when a client becomes a separate workspace, or when reorganising portfolios.

    BusinessAgency

    Subscription Assignment & Reassignment

    Subscriptions are assignable only to workspaces you own. You can reassign a paid subscription between your owned workspaces with a managed grace period — no more 'wrong workspace got the upgrade' headaches.

    BusinessAgency

    In-App Upgrade & Downgrade

    Change plans directly inside the app via Paddle, with prorated billing handled automatically. No support ticket, no waiting.

    BusinessAgency

    Standalone Credit Packs

    Top up SMS, Industry Analysis and Rank Tracker credits as one-off purchases. Balances are workspace-scoped with clear in-app guidance about which workspace is being charged.

    BusinessAgency

    10. Agency Toolkit

    What agencies — both those already offering GBP services and those adding it as a new line — actually need on top of the core platform. All Agency.

    Client Portal on a Neutral White-Label Domain

    Each client gets their own portal served from a neutral, unbranded domain with no link back to us. Your clients never see our name: it simply looks like a professional management tool. Note: this is a shared neutral domain, not a custom domain you bring yourself.

    Agency

    Workspace Branding

    Apply your agency name, logo and primary colour across the client portal, transactional emails and review widgets. Branding loads dynamically per workspace, so each client sees the agency they actually hired.

    Agency

    Custom SMTP / Email Connectors

    Connect SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Postmark, Brevo or generic SMTP, with a clear fallback hierarchy. Review requests, reports and notifications go out from your own sending domain, reinforcing your brand and improving deliverability.

    Agency

    Custom SMS Connectors

    Bring your own Twilio, Vonage, Sinch or Infobip account. SMS sent through your own connector bypasses the platform SMS quota entirely — you control cost and supply.

    Agency

    Bulk Management Across Clients

    (See section 8.) Push hours, attributes, services and descriptions across an entire client portfolio in one operation.

    Agency

    Review Request API for CRM Integration

    (See section 3.) Wire automatic review requests directly into your client's booking, invoicing or CRM system. A genuinely automated review-generation service is a high-margin agency offering.

    Agency

    Public Client Reports

    (See section 6.) Hand clients direct links to their Rank Tracker and Industry Analysis reports — branded, no login, evergreen. A weekly status email replaced by a permanent URL.

    Agency

    Industry Analysis Slideshow as a Sales Asset

    (See section 7.) Run a narrated audit of a prospect's business in front of them on a sales call. Diagnoses real, scored gaps in their own profile instead of pitching from a generic deck.

    Agency

    Security & reliability, by default

    The boring-but-critical things that keep your data and your clients' data safe.

    Encrypted OAuth tokens

    Google tokens stored AES-GCM encrypted at rest.

    Row-level security

    Every table protected by RLS — your data is your data.

    Reliable email delivery

    Powered by Resend, with custom SMTP fallback on Agency.

    Role separation

    Owner, admin, editor and viewer roles enforced at the database level.
