Note: if mistakenly logged in with an incorrect account, you can disconnect your Google Business Profile and restart the process described before.
2) Configure your connector
Once you connect your Google Business Profile, you will set up the connection with these parameters:
Select locations: Choose one or more locations to bring to your report.
If you choose several accounts, the report will combine their data (i.e., it will bring the total posts from all the selected locations).
After you finish the setup, click the Connect button on the top-right corner of the page.
3) Load your report
You’ll see a list of the Google Business Profile connector's fields to Data Studio, then go to CREATE REPORT in the top-right corner of the page:
Finally, confirm the creation of your report by clicking the Create report button:
Our default report template will be automatically loaded.
If your report loads successfully, you’ll start a 14-day free trial for the Google Business Profile connector.
Now, try other connectors, too!
Once your trial is over, you may upgrade your Porter plan.
