FAQ
Reader questions
How do I find my Google My Business profile ID if I only have editor access?
Log in to the Google Business Profile account with your editor credentials, navigate to the correct business card, and view the profile ID on the main dashboard or in the URL when opening settings.
Can I locate the profile ID using the Maps listing page alone?
Yes, open the listing in a desktop browser, use the browser’s find function to search for internal IDs, or inspect network calls while loading the page to capture the profile ID assigned to the map entry.
Why does the profile ID not appear in some third‑party tools?
Some platforms sync only verified places or require reauthorization. Ensure the tool is linked to the same Google account, refresh permissions, and check that the listing is active and fully verified in My Business.
Is the profile ID the same as the Place ID or Location ID?
No, the profile ID is specific to your GBP dashboard and ownership, while Place IDs are used by Google Maps APIs. Use the correct identifier depending on whether you are managing the listing or integrating with developer tools.
