How to Give Access to Facebook and Google My Business Pages for Directory Management

As part of directory management, we will need access to your Facebook page and Google My Business Pages.

For Facebook:

  1. I will send a message to your business pages.
  2. While on your page, go to Settings at the top right.
  3. From there, you'll click "Page Roles" and type "Ark Eting" and click the one that matches the Logo on my profile picture.
  4. Once you find me, change the role to "admin" and you'll have to type in your personal password to approve the added role.

For Google My Business:

  1. Sign in to Google My Business.
  2. Click the gear icon or three dot menu on the location group/business account you’d like to manage and click Manage users.
  3. Add the email address of the user to whom you’d like to send an invitation (admin@arkbsc.com). You can invite me to be an owner or manager of the location group/business account, whichever your preference.
Only an owner of the location group/business account can add more owners and managers.
