We get it—granting permissions for an app to access your Google Business Profile can feel a bit uncomfortable, especially when you see terms like “edit” or “delete” in the list.
But don’t worry—we’re here to explain exactly what we do (and don’t do) with that access.
What we do with your data 📊
Localboss connects to your Google Business Profile to help you:
- Understand and analyze your reviews (so you can improve your rating!)
- Reply to reviews in seconds using AI or reply templates
- See key metrics like your average rating, how many reviews you need to increase your score, and how your real rating evolves over time
And the best part? You don’t need to be a data expert or waste hours in Excel.
What we don’t do ❌
Even though Google groups permissions under one big package (“read, edit, respond, delete”) to access its API, Localboss never deletes or edits anything on your profile. That’s simply not part of our code.
At Localboss:
- We don’t delete reviews
- We don’t change your business info
- We don’t publish anything on your behalf
Our only mission is to help you understand your reviews better and save time managing them.
Still unsure? Check out our Instagram—hundreds of business owners and managers share their photos using the app, and they all say the same feeling: peace of mind
So why do we have to ask for these permissions?
Because Google requires it: in order to access your Google Business Profile data, Google only offers a bundled set of permissions. But don’t worry—we only use the ones we truly need and that bring value to you.
Trust, security, and thousands of happy businesses
Hundreds of restaurants, clinics, workshops, and shops use Localboss every day. And if you ever decide to stop using the app, you can ask us to completely remove your profile from our database—or just disconnect your profile here.
