Connect Google Business Profile to Claude

Publish a standard "What's New" post on the connected Google Business Profile location. Provide the post text, an optional publicly accessible photo URL (JPG or PNG, at least 250x250 px and 10 KB) and an optional call-to-action button. Call-to-action types: BOOK, ORDER, SHOP, LEARN_MORE, SIGN_UP (each needs cta_url) or CALL (uses the listing's phone number, no cta_url). The post can be edited afterwards via update_local_post.

Update the text, photo or call-to-action of an existing post on the connected Google Business Profile location. post_id is the trailing id from the post's resource name (the post_id field of the Local Posts table); full resource names are also accepted. Only the provided fields are changed. Call-to-action types: BOOK, ORDER, SHOP, LEARN_MORE, SIGN_UP (each needs cta_url) or CALL (uses the listing's phone number, no cta_url).

Publish the owner's reply to a customer review on the connected Google Business Profile location, or replace the existing reply. review_id comes from the review_id field of the Reviews table; full resource names are also accepted. The reply is public; replying again replaces the existing reply.

Add a photo to the connected Google Business Profile location's gallery. Provide a publicly accessible photo URL (JPG or PNG, at least 250x250 px and 10 KB) and the gallery category it belongs to (default ADDITIONAL; COVER and PROFILE replace the current cover or profile photo).

Update the business description, website URL and/or primary phone number of the connected Google Business Profile location. Only the provided fields are changed. Edits may be reviewed by Google before they appear on the listing.

Replace the full list of service items (services offered) on the connected Google Business Profile location. Each item is either structured — a Google-predefined service_type_id valid for one of the location's categories — or free-form — a category_id plus a custom display_name; both take an optional description and price. This replaces all existing service items: to keep current ones, read the location_service_items field first and resend them together with the changes. Google removes duplicate items automatically.

Set the primary category and the full list of additional categories of the connected Google Business Profile location. Category ids are stable Google ids like 'gcid:plumber' (accepted with or without the 'categories/' prefix); current values appear in the location_primary_category_id and location_additional_categories fields. Replaces all existing categories — omitting additional_category_ids removes every additional category. Category changes may be reviewed by Google and can in some cases trigger re-verification of the listing.

Replace the service area (the list of places the business serves) of the connected Google Business Profile location, and whether the business serves customers only at their locations or also at its own address. Replaces all existing places: to keep current ones, read the location_service_area field first and resend them together with the changes. Google caps the service area at 20 places.

Update and/or remove individual attributes (e.g. amenities, payment options, appointment links) of the connected Google Business Profile location. Only the attributes named in the request are touched — unlike the other update actions, the rest of the set is left as is. Currently set attributes can be audited via the location_attributes field; Google rejects attributes that are not available for the location's categories.

Replace the storefront address of the connected Google Business Profile location. WARNING: changing the address can put the listing back into Google's re-verification flow, which may unpublish it until the business verifies again — the action refuses to run unless acknowledge_reverification_risk is set to true, which requires the end user's explicit approval. The whole address is replaced: provide every part the listing should keep (current values are in the location_address_* fields).

Set the weekly opening hours of the connected Google Business Profile location. Provide one period per continuous open span (a day may have several, e.g. before and after a lunch break; days with no period are shown as closed). For 24-hour opening use 00:00 to 24:00. Replaces all existing regular hours.

Set exceptional opening hours of the connected Google Business Profile location for specific dates (holidays, events). Each period is a date that is either fully closed or open for the given time span. Replaces all existing special hours, so include every upcoming exceptional date in one call; regular hours are not affected.

Mark the connected Google Business Profile location as OPEN or CLOSED_TEMPORARILY (e.g. for renovations). A temporarily closed location stays on Google with a "Temporarily closed" label. Reversible by calling this action with the other status.
