Note: This support guide is intended for users working with the Marketing 360® Marketing team. Users of the Full Platform plan can visit our Social App Knowledge Base.

1. Create a Google Business Profile or Claim a Profile

Signing Up for a Business Profile

To sign up for a Google Business Profile, you must first have a Google Account. You have two options:

  • Create a New Google Account: Use a new Gmail address or any preferred email address.

  • Use an Existing Google Account: You can use any existing Google Account, regardless of its email address.

Tip: If your business has its own dedicated email address (e.g., info@yourwebsite.com), it is highly recommended that you link it to your Google Account. This simplifies the management of your Business Profile.


Add or Claim Your Business

If you own or manage an eligible business, you can create a Business Profile.


Verification and Management

Once you have added or claimed your profile, you must verify your business.


2. Give Marketing 360® Partnership Access

You can grant Partnership access to Marketing 360® by connecting through Leadsie. You can follow these steps to grant access through Leadsie.

How to Grant Partnership Access if Leadsie Doesn't Work:

  1. Log In: Log in to your Google Ads manager account.

  2. Access Settings: Select Tools and settings (the wrench icon) in the upper right corner of your account.

  3. Go to Access: Under the "Setup" column, click Access and security.

If Google prevents you from sending the invitation because madwiremedia.com is not an allowed domain:

  1. Go back to Access and security.

  2. Select the Security tab.

  3. Add madwiremedia.com as an allowed domain.

  4. Return to the Users tab and send the invitation.
