The Google My Business Agency Dashboard Officially Launches
As promised, Google has officially launched its Google My Business Agency Dashboard that's meant to help agencies manage multiple listings easier and more affectively. You can signup for this new dashboard at: https://business.google.com/agencysignup.
Within their announcement Google laid out the new features you can expect to find:
Manage all your locations under one account: All registered agencies can now manage thousands of locations within a single Organization Account with fast performance—you’re no longer limited to 100 locations per account.
Send and receive invitations to manage listings: The new Agency Dashboard makes sending and receiving invitations to manage Google listings easier. You can view the status of all of these requests right from the agency dashboard.
Location Groups: To simplify location management, all locations within an Organization account are now required to be contained within a location group (previously known as a business account). Agencies can request access to a customer’s location through a location group or customers can invite an agency’s location group to co-manage their listing.
User Groups: User Groups enable agencies to effectively manage teams and control access to their location groups.
Search: The Agency Dashboard lets you efficiently search for locations within your entire account or within a particular Location Group.
Google has also released a number of resources to help you make the transition including a new agency specific help center section, a new Partner's Website, and complete GMB Agency Setup Guide.
