elloha now allows you to synchronise certain data on the Google listing for your business, commonly known as Google My Business, with the Connect subscription (Diamond or Platinum for Belgium).
Google My Business is one of the tools that has become essential in the digitalisation of businesses. This Google listing provides Internet users with information about the company's activity, location, opening hours and telephone number.
elloha gives you the option of synchronising certain data that will feed the Google listing for your business, such as :
the name of the business
opening days and times
landline and mobile phone numbers
website address,
photos,
offers (or packages for elloha Activité accounts).
Please note that you will need to sign in with the Google Account linked to your business (and not your personal Google Account, for example). Without this, you won't be able to select a business (see below) and carry out a full synchronisation.
To synchronise your Google My Business listing with elloha :
You must have created a Google My Business listing,
Click on the Google menu on the left of your elloha account,
Click on the Allow button to allow elloha to connect to your Google account. You will be redirected to the Google Account login screen.
Once logged in, you'll be asked to allow elloha to connect to your Google listing.
Once you have authorised this synchronisation, you will be redirected to your elloha account.
Then simply select the data you want to sync between elloha and your Google listing using the buttons on the left-hand side of the screen.
On the right-hand side of this page, you will find a preview of what will be displayed on your Google My Business listing.
Please note: It is not possible to influence the order of the photos, as this is determined directly by Google. Only the main photo is taken into account by Google in the display order.
Finalise the synchronisation by clicking on the Save button (top right of the page).
Once you've synchronised, you'll also be able to synchronise your special offers, promotions and/or promotional codes directly on Google.
To do this, all you have to do in your offer is tick yes to publish on Google.
This will then be displayed on Google in this way (for example):
You can then connect to your Google My Business listing to check that the data synchronised with your elloha account has been correctly uploaded.
Note: it is important to know that data that cannot be synchronised between elloha and Google My Business will not be overwritten during synchronisation.
