This is the heart of where you will manage your Business Profile. In the Merchant Panel, you\u2019ll see the main menu, three-dot menu, cards, and your Business Profile off to the right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The menus in your Merchant Panel depend on your business categories. So what you see may look different than another business in a different industry.<\/p>\n
You might see a down arrow in your Menu. If you do, be sure to click on it to expand your menu area so you can see even more menu options.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
In the example below, the expanded menu also shows \u201cAdd update\u201d (i.e., Posts) and \u201cAsk for reviews.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
As mentioned, the available menus are category-dependent. In the screenshot below, the \u201cInsurance\u201d menu is available because the business is in the medical category. <\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Off to the right of the Merchant Panel, you should see your company\u2019s Business Profile\/Knowledge Panel. There are also several features you can do directly <\/em>from your Business Profile, like uploading photos and videos and creating posts (updates).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n
In the Merchant Panel, you will see two main items: the menu and the cards.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The menu allows you to perform the main functionality of managing your Google Business Profile. This is where you can edit your profile, add posts, upload pictures, include products and services, respond to reviews and messages, etc.<\/p>\n
The three-dot menu to the right of the main menu gives you more advanced features like adding and removing managers, seeing your Business Profile ID, removing the business or marking it as temporarily or permanently closed and other features.<\/p>\n
The cards are little \u201ccues\u201d or hints on things you may want to do or act on with your Business Profile. Cards will also vary.<\/p>\n
