Option 1: Import from Your SEO Connection (recommended)
1
Open the connect dialog
Go to Marketing > Social > Accounts and click Connect Account on the Google Business card.
2
Import
Click Import from SEO. Hiveku discovers the locations on your connected profile and shows a picker — check the locations Hiveku should post to.
Option 2: Full Setup (no SEO connection yet)
Google approves Business Profile API access per Google Cloud project, so this path involves a Google application with a wait:1
Create a Google OAuth app
Follow Set Up a Google Cloud OAuth App if you don’t have one registered in Hiveku yet.
2
Apply for Business Profile API access
Fill out Google’s Business Profile API access request form (search “Google Business Profile API access request”), submitting your Google Cloud Project Number.
- Your Business Profile must be verified and at least 60 days old
- The applicant email must be an owner/manager on the profile
- Approval typically takes 1–2 weeks
3
Enable the APIs
Once approved, enable Google My Business API, My Business Account Management API, and My Business Business Information API on the project.
4
Connect in Hiveku
In the social connect dialog, pick your Google OAuth app and click Connect with your app, then choose your locations.
Good to Know
- Posts support one photo and an optional Learn more button (your post’s link). Videos aren’t supported by Google Posts.
- Don’t put phone numbers in the post text — Google rejects those posts automatically.
- No per-post view counts. Google discontinued per-post statistics in its API; Hiveku shows profile-level metrics (views, website clicks, calls) instead.
- Text is capped at 1,500 characters; Hiveku trims longer content.
