Watch on YouTube: How to give AIOrders manager access to your Google Business Profile — and why it's needed.

Why AIOrders needs this access

Your Google Business Profile is the public listing customers see on Google Search and Maps: your name, hours, menu, photos and reviews. All of it is already public, and there are no bank details or private business data in the profile.

With manager access, AIOrders can:

1. Place your zero-commission ordering link inside Google's Order online button. Uber Eats and DoorDash appear there because they have a verified connection with your listing, and Google requires the same verification from AIOrders.
2. Keep your hours, menu link and photos updated automatically.
3. Connect your dish-level SEO pages to your physical location, so Google can recommend your restaurant for specific dishes.

What manager access does not allow

Access is limited to the public listing. AIOrders cannot see your Google account, email or password, and has no access to billing or payments. You remain the primary owner, and you can remove access with one click.

How to grant access in six steps

1. Go to google.com, signed in with the Google account that owns your Business Profile, and search for your restaurant's name.
2. In the business panel on the right, click the three-dot menu and choose Business Profile settings.
3. Click People and access.
4. Click Add and enter the AIOrders manager email you received during onboarding.
5. Under access, select Manager, then click Invite.
6. That's it. AIOrders accepts the invitation and the connection is confirmed within one business day.

• Manager access unlocks the Order online button, automatic profile updates and dish-level search traffic.
• AIOrders can't see your account, email, password, billing or payments.
• You stay the primary owner and can remove access any time.
