Google has introduced a new feature in its Maps app and search engine that allows owners of Google Business profiles (GBP) to showcase the latest posts from their social media accounts.
These business profiles are used by companies and organizations to manage their online presence and gather reviews of their services and products. Now, profile owners can add links to various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube to improve their online presence.
How to add links to social networks in Google Business
To add links to social networks in Google Business, you need to go to the profile editing menu and select the "Social Profiles" option within the Contact tab. Additionally, Google may automatically add social media links to business profiles that meet certain criteria, which can be edited or removed.
This update, as explained by Google, aims to provide internet users with a more comprehensive view of company activities beyond the usual reviews and contact information.
