Integration

Google Business Profile integration

RankPro uses the official Google Business Profile API to help local business owners audit, optimize, and grow their presence on Google Search and Maps. This page explains exactly what we access, why, and how to revoke it.

What we use the API for

Profile audit

We read your business name, categories, description, hours, attributes, photos, and service areas to grade completeness and surface a prioritized fix list.

Scope: business.manage (read)

Posts & updates

With your approval on every post, we publish offers, events, and updates to your profile so it stays active in search.

Scope: business.manage (write)

Review reply drafting

We pull your latest reviews, draft tone-matched replies for you to approve, and post the approved reply back to Google.

Scope: business.manage (read + write)

Insights

We pull profile views, search queries, and call/direction counts to show performance over time alongside the changes we made.

Scope: business.manage (read)

How we handle your data

We never store passwords. We never store data from any other Google product (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, etc.). We don't sell or share your GBP data with advertisers or third parties.

Where it lives

Encrypted Postgres database hosted in the EU. Backups are encrypted and rotated. Access is restricted to the RankPro engineering team for support and debugging only.

Data is retained while your account is active. When you disconnect Google or delete your account, GBP-derived data is deleted within 30 days. You can also request immediate deletion at any time.

How to disconnect or delete data

  1. Inside RankPro, open Dashboard → Google Business Profile and click Disconnect. Your refresh token is revoked immediately and GBP-derived data is queued for deletion.
  2. Optionally revoke access from Google directly at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
  3. To delete your entire RankPro account and all associated data, open Dashboard → Settings → Delete account or email us.
