Set up your page from your Google listing
When you create your page, its second step finds your business on Google. Pick your own listing and your page fills in your phone number, address, opening hours, star rating, reviews and website, on every plan.
It fills what you have not typed, leaves what you have typed alone, and lets you choose which of your business's own Google photos to keep.
What your customer sees
Your details
Your number on the Call now button, your address on the map with its pin, and your opening hours with open or closed now.
Your reputation
Your Google rating, your review count and the first three reviews Google shows, in Google's order.
Your photos and your words
The photos you chose from your listing, and the About text you write yourself.
What you see
Setting up takes four short steps: Your business, Find you on Google, How to reach you and Make it yours. Find you on Google searches for the name you gave by itself, and you pick your listing from the results, each shown with its address.
Your page fills at once: phone number, address and postcode, opening hours, the star rating, the review count, the first three reviews, the website, the kind of business you are, the map pin and your time zone. If the listing's name differs from the one you typed, you are asked which your page should use.
Then your photos: Blinx offers the ones your business put on its own listing, up to 10, never the ones the public added. Each comes ticked; untick any you do not want, or keep none. The photos you keep are copied into Blinx's own storage.
How to reach you and Make it yours come next: check your number and address, add a cover photo and your About text, and publish. Not on Google? Choose My business is not on Google and type your page in yourself.
Which plan
Setting up from Google is on every plan. The photos you keep show on your page as every page's photos do: up to 10 on Pro, and 3 on basic.
If you stop paying, your page stays
Your page stays live on the basic plan and nothing is deleted. The Pro features come back when you go Pro again.
What it does not do
- It fills once, when you connect. After that your page is yours to edit and does not follow changes to your Google listing, apart from the weekly refresh of your rating and reviews on a page paying for Pro or with a card saved.
- It fills what you have not typed, and never overwrites what you have.
- It offers your business's own Google photos, never the ones the public added.
- It changes nothing on your Google listing.
- A listing whose website is a social media page fills no website: the editor asks you for your real one.
- Connecting your listing later, from the editor's Reviews, brings your rating, reviews, map pin and time zone, and a website if you have none, and leaves the rest of your page as it is.
- No listing, no fill: type your page in yourself.
By trade
- Website for dentists: your hours, number and address from your listing, in one step.
- Website for restaurants: your Google rating and reviews on the page from the first day.
- Website for plumbers: your number, address and map pin from your listing, with no typing on a phone.
Questions about setting up from Google
What comes across from Google?
Your phone number, address and postcode, opening hours, star rating and review count, the first three reviews Google shows, your website, the kind of business you are, your map pin and your time zone. Photos come across when you choose them: the ones your business put on its own listing, up to 10, ticked for you to keep or drop.
Will it overwrite what I typed?
No. Connecting fills the parts of your page you have left empty and nothing else, so a phone number, address, opening hours or website you typed stays as you typed it. If your listing's name differs from the name you gave, you are asked which one your page should use.
Can I use the photos customers posted on Google?
No. Blinx offers the photos your business put on its own Google listing, never the ones the public added, which are often not of your work. The ones you keep are copied into Blinx's own storage, so your page never depends on a Google address staying alive.
What if I am not on Google?
Choose My business is not on Google and type your page in yourself: your number, address, hours and the rest. If your business is on Google and the search cannot find it, send the Blinx Support Team the link to your listing from Google Maps, and they will connect it for you.
Does it change my Google listing?
No. Blinx reads your listing and changes nothing on it: your Google profile, its reviews and its photos stay exactly as they are, and you keep managing them with Google. Your Blinx page is a page of its own, at its own address, which you edit from your phone.
