How to Add a Manager to Your Google Business Profile
Step-by-step guide to adding a manager or owner to your Google Business Profile so others can help manage your listing.
Need to give someone access to manage your Google Business Profile? Here’s how to add a manager or owner in just a few steps.
Manager vs. Owner: What’s the Difference?
| Role | What They Can Do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full control—edit profile, add/remove users, delete listing |
| Manager | Edit profile, respond to reviews, post updates (can’t add users or delete) |
Step 1: Go to Your Business Profile
Visit business.google.com and sign in with the Google account that owns the profile.
Select your business if you have multiple listings.
Step 2: Open Business Profile Settings
Click the three dots menu (⋮) or look for Settings in the left sidebar.
Select Business Profile settings or Managers.
Step 3: Click “Add” to Invite Someone
In the Managers section, click Add or the + button.
Enter the person’s email address. They must have a Google account associated with that email.
Step 4: Choose Their Role
Select the appropriate role:
- Owner – Full control (use sparingly)
- Manager – Can manage but not delete or add users
For most situations, Manager is the right choice.
Step 5: Send the Invitation
Click Invite or Add.
The person will receive an email invitation. They must accept it to gain access.
Step 6: They Accept the Invitation
The invited person needs to:
- Open the invitation email from Google
- Click Accept
- Sign in with their Google account
Once accepted, they’ll appear in your managers list.

Common Issues
“This email is not associated with a Google account”
The person needs to create a Google account with that email first, or use a different email that already has a Google account.
Invitation not received
- Check spam/junk folder
- Make sure the email address is correct
- Try resending the invitation
Can’t find the Managers option
You may not be the owner of the profile. Only owners can add or remove managers.
