Installing Site Import for GBP and importing your Google Business website posts and images is easy!
- Download the latest version of the plugin directly or find it in the WordPress plugin repository by searching for "Site Import for Google Business Profile" within Plugins > Add New
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Go to the Site Import for GBP section and click "Connect to Google Business Profile"
- Connect the Google account that contains the business location that you want to import and proceed through the authentication wizard
- You will now be redirected back to your WordPress site
- The list of locations within your Google account will now show up. Click "Start GBP Website import"
- You can now pick either Posts or Images, or both! Posts will be imported as regular WordPress posts, and images will be imported into your Media library.
There will be a short time window after March 2024 to import your site data. But why risk waiting.
The Google Business Profile API only has a single access level, it is either all or nothing. This is why the plugin asks for such extensive permissions. Ideally we'd ask for as little permissions as possible for the plugin to do the job, but unfortunately there is no way around it. Only endpoints required to read your location data, and import ports/images are implemented. Your access tokens are safely stored within your own WordPress website only.
The plugin is capped at importing your most recent 100 gallery images and 50 posts from your Google Business Profile
