Google Business Profile
· #63 most-usedOwn your Google presence — reviews, posts, and hours on autopilot
Google Business Profile controls how your business appears on Google Search and Maps — the first thing customers see before they call, visit, or buy. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can reply to reviews within the hour, publish offer posts the moment a campaign launches, update trading hours across every location when a holiday hits, and pull weekly performance insights without anyone touching the GBP dashboard. For multi-location businesses, it turns a daily manual grind into a hands-free presence engine.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual cycle of reviewing and replying to customer feedback, publishing promotional posts, syncing holiday hours across locations, and pulling weekly performance reports from the GBP dashboard.

5-star review → reply + Slack alert in 60 seconds
When a new review lands on your Google Business Profile listing, your agent reads it, drafts a personalised owner reply referencing the specific experience mentioned, posts it publicly, and pings the support team in Slack with the star rating and a direct link to the review — all before a human even opens Gmail. Five-star responses go live in under a minute; 1-star complaints get escalated with the full text so nothing festers unanswered overnight.
