Google Setup | Yext Hitchhikers Platform

What You’ll Learn

In this section, you will learn:

  • How to link your Google Business Profile account in the Launch Listings flow
  • Where to enter your Google Account ID
  • How to specify your settings for syncing individual entity fields to Google

Google Business Profile Setup

This unit will go through the steps in the Launch Listings flow under Google Business Profile Setup.

Linked Accounts

Here, link your Google account to Yext. Click + Link Account and follow the prompts to grant Listings access to your Google Business Profile account.

If you’ve already linked a Google Business Profile account, it will show up here and you can select it.

Link your Google account

Google Account ID

Select the Google Location Group ID that includes the set of locations you want to launch listings for.

You can only launch one location group per flow. If you have multiple location groups, you can go through the flow multiple times for each group.

Select your Google account ID

Field Sync & Mapping

This step displays the entity fields that will be sent to Google listings.

By default, all fields are enabled. We recommend keeping all these fields enabled in order to populate your listings with as much relevant data as possible.

Set your Google field sync settings

If you see a toggle in the Overwrite Data column, this means that there are custom fields available in your account that you could use instead of the default field. If you enable the Overwrite Data toggle, you can then select your chosen custom field in the Content Mapped Field column.

Note
Use caution when choosing fields to overwrite, as these settings will apply to your whole Yext account.
