Google Business Profile - Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Google Business Profile listing?
A business listing on Google is managed from Google Business Profile that incorporates Google Search, Maps and other services. It refers to the actual store or business in a physical location. You can display your business information such as address of your store, business hours, contact number, travel directions, ratings and reviews with pictures from customers etc. on Google Maps as well as Google Search. Zoho Social helps you schedule Google Posts with an optional button for adding your landing page URL. You can also track and respond to reviews for your business listing from the Monitor tab.
Can I read and reply to questions on my Google Business Profile listing?
You won’t be able to read and reply to questions on your Google Business Profile from Zoho Social, starting November 3, 2025. Google has deprecated the Business Profile Q&A API, which means that Google Business Profile Questions will not be available in Social due to API restrictions imposed by Google.
For reference, you can check the official announcement of Google.
