Connecting Google.

What connecting does

In Motors, open Google and press Connect with Google. Google asks you to sign in to your own Google account (the one that manages your Google Business Profile) and asks what Motors may see. After that, Motors can:

• show all your Google reviews, tell you when a new one arrives, and let you reply from Motors;
• show how many people saw your Google listing, called you, asked for directions or clicked through to your website;
• show how many people visited your website and what they searched on Google to find it;
• email you a short report on the 1st of each month (you can switch this off).

Motors only reads your figures. The only thing it ever sends to Google is a reply to a review, and only when you press Send.

The tick boxes on Google’s screen

Google shows each part as a separate tick box. Tick the ones you want. You can leave any of them unticked and add it later with Connect the missing part.

• See, edit, create and delete your Google business listings (Business Profile). Needed for your reviews, replying to reviews and your listing figures. Google words this broadly; Motors only reads your listing, reviews and figures, and posts review replies you write.
• See and download your Google Analytics data. Needed for your website visitor figures.
• View Search Console data for your verified sites. Needed for what people searched on Google before visiting your website.

Google also shares your Google account’s email address with Motors, so you can see which account is connected.

Disconnecting

1. In Motors, open Google and press Disconnect Google. Motors asks Google to cancel its access straight away and deletes the Google figures and reviews it had stored. Your reviews on Google itself are not touched.
2. You can also remove access from your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions: find Bivetica Motors and remove its access. Motors will then show “Google needs reconnecting”.
