Google My Business is a free service offered by Google for business owners to list their organization on Google Maps. Business listings are associated with Google accounts and require a primary owner.

GMB is also a great way to showcase and promote product or service offerings for online searchers. Connecting this to Google Ads is a great way to drive advertising in the search and display networks.

Business owners regularly have employees or other third party vendors manage this account for them. So, how do you add a new user to a GMB listing?
