# Update Your Google Business Profile from Hiveku

> Change your business description, phone, website, hours and attributes on Google, and publish Google posts, without leaving Hiveku

Your Google Business Profile is what people see when they search for you on Google or Maps. Once it's connected, you can keep it up to date from Hiveku: your description, phone, website and hours, the extra facts Google shows, and posts about what's new.

This guide uses the profile of Locus Digital, a marketing agency, and changes nothing on Google. Its phone number is hidden in the pictures.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Connect your profile first: see [Connect Google Business Profile](https://docs.hiveku.com/how-tos/connect-gbp.md).

## Open your profile

Click **Marketing** in the left rail, then the **SEO Analysis** card, then the **Local (GBP)** tab. If you have more than one location, pick it from the list. **Overview** shows how people found you; see [Check Your Business Listings Score](https://docs.hiveku.com/how-tos/marketing/listings-score.md).

## Change your details and hours

**1. Open Business info**

Click **Business info**. Your description, phone and website are shown as they are on Google.

![Business info, outlined; Locus Digital, Marketing agency, Plano TX; and Business description with 744 of 750 characters, Primary phone hidden, and Website, outlined](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6/images/how-tos/marketing/gb-01-business-info-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6\&q=85\&s=4cfc6d0e3b2ed35b3a54fca219579738)

The details Google shows

**2. Set your hours**

Under **Regular hours**, tick **Open** on the days you're open and set the times. Untick a day to show it as closed.

**3. Validate and save**

Click **Validate and save**. Hiveku checks the changes with Google first; when Google accepts them, it says so. Click **Apply changes** to put them on your profile, or **Cancel**.

![Regular hours: Monday to Friday open 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday closed; and Validate and save, outlined](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6/images/how-tos/marketing/gb-02-hours-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6\&q=85\&s=989f05a9e58c72d5ba14441a8a3cb6bb)

Hours, and Validate and save

Your business name and address can't be changed here. Google asks you to verify your business again when those change, so change them on Google itself.

## Set your attributes

Below the hours, **Attributes** are the extra facts Google shows, such as online appointments, wheelchair access or who owns the business. Tick the ones that are true. **Each one changes on Google straight away**, with no save button.

![Attributes: Toggles apply immediately. Only yes/no attributes are editable here, outlined; a list of attributes with checkboxes; and Online appointments and Onsite services ticked, outlined](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6/images/how-tos/marketing/gb-03-attributes-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6\&q=85\&s=cc1607358fd1c7e5965ad2710ccdedcd)

Attributes save as you tick them

## Publish a post

Google posts show on your profile for a few weeks: news, an event or an offer.

1. Click **Posts**, then **New post**.
2. Choose the **Post type**: **Update**, **Event** or **Offer**.
3. Write the **Post text** and, if you like, add a **Photo URL**.
4. Under **Call to action**, pick a button such as **BOOK** and give it a **Button URL**, such as your booking page.
5. Click **Publish post**. It goes live on Google.

![New Business Profile post: Post type Update, outlined, Event or Offer; Post text about free website check-ups, outlined; Photo URL; Call to action BOOK with Button URL, outlined; and Publish post, outlined, with Cancel](https://mintcdn.com/locusdigital/Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6/images/how-tos/marketing/gb-04-new-post-closeup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Ny0sghGzqVmvx5m6\&q=85\&s=888301d88ef167573dd07eea96a5e4d7)

A new post, ready to publish

Your posts are listed with **Edit**, **Delete** and **View on Google**. **Sync from Google** brings in posts made on Google directly.
