How to Find Business Maps URL for Virtual Locations in GoHighLevel

If you manage virtual locations in ClickUp, Google Business Profile, or any other tool, you may still need accurate local reporting inside GoHighLevel. Virtual businesses do not always appear in standard Google Maps searches, so you must use a specific method to capture the correct maps URL for reporting.

This step-by-step guide explains how to locate the correct Google Maps URL for your virtual business and then use that URL inside GoHighLevel to generate accurate local SEO and call tracking reports.

Why GoHighLevel Needs the Correct Maps URL

GoHighLevel uses the Google Maps URL associated with your Google Business Profile to:

Match location data to the correct business profile
Pull accurate local search and engagement metrics
Improve report precision for multi-location and virtual businesses
Avoid mixing data from similar or duplicate listings

For virtual businesses, the public listing may be hidden or limited. That is why you should always grab the maps URL directly from your Google Business Profile dashboard before adding it to GoHighLevel.

Prerequisites Before Updating GoHighLevel

Before you start, confirm the following:

You have admin access to the correct Google Business Profile
You are logged in with the Google account that owns or manages the profile
The business is verified as a service-area or virtual business
You have access to your GoHighLevel account where reports will be configured

Step 1: Open Your Google Business Profile

To capture an accurate maps URL for use in GoHighLevel, you must begin inside your Google Business Profile dashboard rather than searching on maps.google.com.

Sign in to your Google account that manages the business.
In Google search, type your business name exactly as registered.
When the business management panel appears, confirm that you see editing options like Edit profile, Read reviews, and Promote. This indicates you are viewing the profile as the owner or manager.

Do not copy the URL from a public Google Maps search result, as this may not correctly reflect the internal ID needed for reporting in GoHighLevel, especially with hidden addresses or virtual service areas.

Step 2: Navigate to the Maps View from Your Profile

For virtual or service-area businesses, Google often hides the physical address but still maintains a precise maps location ID. You will use a built-in link from your business profile to reach the correct maps page that will later be used in GoHighLevel.

Within the Google Business Profile management panel, look for an option that opens the location in Maps. This might appear as a button or link such as:
- View on Maps
- See your business on Maps
- An icon that takes you directly to Google Maps
Click that option to open the business listing in a new Google Maps tab or window.
Wait for the page to finish loading. The left-hand panel should display your business name, category, and any public details allowed for your virtual business.

This route guarantees that the maps page you see is the official listing tied to your Google Business Profile and suitable for GoHighLevel tracking and reporting.

Step 3: Copy the Correct Google Maps URL

Once the business profile is open on Google Maps, you can safely copy the URL that GoHighLevel will use for reporting.

Click once inside your browser address bar.
Ensure the URL looks like a standard Google Maps listing link, often beginning with https://www.google.com/maps/place/ followed by your business name and a unique ID string.
Do not modify or shorten the URL. Copy it exactly as it appears.
Use Ctrl + C (Windows) or Cmd + C (Mac) to copy the entire URL.

Keep this URL handy. It is the link you will paste into your reporting or integration settings inside GoHighLevel.

Step 4: Add the URL into Your GoHighLevel Location Settings

With the maps URL copied from Google Maps, you can now connect your virtual business listing to the correct location inside GoHighLevel.

Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
Navigate to the Locations or agency settings area, depending on your account structure.
Select the specific location that matches the virtual business profile you just opened on Google Maps.
Look for a field labeled similar to:
- Google Business Profile URL
- Maps URL
- GMB Maps Link
Paste the full Google Maps URL into this field.
Save your settings to confirm the connection.

Once saved, GoHighLevel can align call tracking, reputation, and reporting with the correct virtual location using the maps URL you provided.

Step 5: Verify Reporting Accuracy in GoHighLevel

After adding the maps URL, you should confirm that GoHighLevel is pulling and displaying data correctly for your virtual business.

Allow some time for GoHighLevel to sync with the updated location data.
Open your analytics or reporting dashboards that depend on Google Business Profile data.
Check that impressions, calls, and direction requests (if available) reflect the correct business and time range.
Compare key metrics with what you see inside Google Business Profile to ensure they align within a reasonable margin.

If you manage multiple virtual locations, repeat the same process for each one, always starting from the official Google Business Profile and navigating to Maps through the management panel.

Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Virtual Business URLs

If GoHighLevel reports do not look correct after updating the maps URL, review the following:

Wrong Google account: Make sure you are using the owner or manager account for the profile.
Duplicate listings: Confirm you copied the maps URL from the active, verified profile, not a duplicate or suppressed listing.
Old URL: If you recently edited your address or service area, reopen the Google Business Profile, repeat the Maps navigation, and copy a fresh URL.
Paste errors: Double-check that no extra characters or spaces were added when pasting into GoHighLevel.

If the issue persists, you can consult the original GoHighLevel help documentation for this exact process at this official guide.
