Manage agency organisations

An organisation lets you manage your Google Business Profile. Each company is allowed to have only one organisation in Business Profile.

You can manage an individual profile on Search and Maps. To manage multiple profiles in bulk at once, you can use Business Profile Manager. If you want to add another profile, on Google Search, select the three-dot menu Add a new Business Profile. 

You can add people to your organisation as owners or members. Here's a summary of the different capabilities of each role:
