Step 1: Account Setup

This step outlines the relevant prerequisites needed to configure your account before you begin ingesting data via the Google Business Profile Connector Apps.

Data Preparation

Match Entity IDs to GBP Store Codes: If you have existing data in your Yext account that you would like to enrich with data from your Google Business Profile account, make sure that the Entity IDs of the locations in your Yext account match the Store Codes in your Google Business Profile account. If this is not the case you will create new locations in your Yext account or add data to the wrong locations.

Note
In order to configure this integration, you will need Owner level access in your GBP account. If you do not have Owner access in GBP, please reach out to the administrator of your organization’s GBP account.


The Google Business Profile Connectors use OAuth to access your Google data. In order to use OAuth within the Yext platform, you must first link your GBP account with Yext.

  1. Navigate to the Linked Accounts page of your Yext account and click +Add Linked Account next to Google.
  2. Check off https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage as your scope. If you wish to use the same account to pull data from Google Drive as well as GBP, you can check off that scope as well. Be aware, however, that if you are using a Reseller account, whichever OAuth scope you enable will be available for all sub-accounts, and you may not wish all sub-accounts to have access to one user’s Google Drive.
  3. Click Link.
  4. A popup will appear where you can choose the Google Account you’d like to link to.
    • Note: you must have logged into this Google account on the computer you’re using in order for it to appear. If the account doesn’t appear, log into it in a separate window, and then return to this page and refresh.
  5. Go through the authorization flow. When prompted to provide a name for your linked account, an editable ID will be automatically populated. If you plan on using the connector apps, copy down the ID, as you will need it in the app installation flow.
  6. Click Save, and your account is connected!


Set Up Google Sync Settings

In order to make sure the correct photos are imported into your Yext account from Google, make sure the Photo Gallery field is configured as seen below in your Google Configuration settings:
