How do I add social media accounts to my Google Business Profile Account?


The short answer: You can't link your social media accounts or point it to Google yourself. Google is able to detect and bind the social profiles associated with your GBP listing. However, there are things that you can do to your accounts to make it easier for Google to make these connections for you.


Best practices to get Facebook reviews in your Google Business Profile

​The best option is to use the same consistent name and the same NAP data (Network Access Point). If your website, business, and social media accounts share similar names and information, it makes the algorithm's job of linking them together much easier.

Try to get users to leave reviews on your Facebook Business Profile

Google API (application programming interface) crawls the web and if it finds a rating on your Facebook page, it can automatically add the rating to your Google Business Profile Knowledge Panel.



I already have reviews on my Facebook Business Profile? What is keeping it from populating on my Google Business Profile?

Make sure you link your social media pages or have them embedded in your business website to better help Google identify that your Facebook Business Profile and Google Business Profile Reviews are referring to the same business. This can take up to a week for Google to establish this connection but it has historically been able to.
