How to Connect Google My Business to GoHighLevel

If you manage local clients in tools like ClickUp and need a simple way to control reviews, messages, and posts, integrating your Google My Business location with GoHighLevel is essential. This guide walks you step by step through connecting your Google account so you can use the unified inbox, review management, and other powerful features.

The connection happens securely through Google OAuth, and you can link multiple locations under one account. Follow the steps below inside your sub-account or agency view to complete the integration correctly the first time.

Before You Connect Google My Business to GoHighLevel

Make sure you meet the basic requirements before starting the connection process in GoHighLevel. This prevents sync issues and connection errors.

• You must have an active Google account that manages at least one verified Google My Business (Google Business Profile) location.
• You need access to a sub-account or location inside your GoHighLevel account where you want to connect Google.
• Your browser must allow pop-ups for the GoHighLevel app so the Google authorization window can open.

Once these conditions are met, you can safely connect Google My Business and start using the related features.

Step-by-Step: Connect Google My Business to GoHighLevel

Follow these steps exactly as they appear to ensure your Google My Business location connects properly inside GoHighLevel.

Step 1: Open the location in GoHighLevel

1. Log into your GoHighLevel account.
2. From the main dashboard, select the specific sub-account / location where you want to connect Google My Business.
3. Wait for the location dashboard to load completely.

All further actions will take place inside this location panel in GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Navigate to the integrations area in GoHighLevel

1. In the left-hand sidebar, scroll down until you find the Settings option and click it.
2. Inside Settings, look for the Integrations section.
3. Click on Integrations to open the list of available platform connections, including Google and Facebook.

This is the central place where you connect Google My Business and other services to your GoHighLevel location.

Step 3: Start the Google My Business connection

1. In the Integrations page, locate the Google section.
2. Click the Connect or Connect Google button next to the Google integration option.
3. A new browser window or pop-up will open, sending you to the Google authorization screen.

If the window does not open, check your browser settings and allow pop-ups for the GoHighLevel app domain.

Step 4: Choose your Google account

1. In the Google authorization window, select the Google account that owns or manages your Google My Business location.
2. If the correct account is not listed, click Use another account and sign in with the email that has access to the listing.
3. Once selected, continue to the permissions page.

Make sure you use the same Google account that is associated with your existing Google My Business profile to avoid confusion inside GoHighLevel.

Step 5: Grant permissions to GoHighLevel

1. Review the list of permissions requested by LeadConnector / GoHighLevel. These typically include access to manage your business information, read and reply to reviews, and handle messages.
2. Scroll through and confirm the requested scopes are allowed so GoHighLevel can fully interact with your Google My Business data.
3. Click Allow to grant the permissions and return to the integration screen.

Without accepting all required scopes, some Google My Business features in GoHighLevel may not work correctly.

Selecting the Correct Google My Business Location in GoHighLevel

After authorization, you must choose exactly which Google My Business location to connect to your selected sub-account in GoHighLevel.

Step 6: Map the Google My Business location

1. Back in the Integrations page inside your GoHighLevel location, you should now see a list or dropdown of available Google My Business locations connected to the Google account you selected.
2. Choose the specific business location that matches the sub-account you are working in.
3. Confirm the selection so the location is linked to this GoHighLevel account.

This mapping ensures that reviews, messages, and insights from the correct Google My Business listing flow into the right place inside GoHighLevel.

Step 7: Confirm connection status in GoHighLevel

1. Still in the Integrations section, check that the Google integration now shows a status such as Connected.
2. Verify that the chosen Google My Business location name appears correctly.
3. Optionally, refresh the browser page to ensure the connection persists and no error message appears.

If you see an error, re-check that you logged in with the right Google account and that your Google My Business listing is verified and active.
