Ekiten, a store review and ranking site operated by Design One Japan Co., Ltd. (CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, TSE Standard 6048), has released an automatic linking function with Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business), operated by Google.
■ What is the "Google Business Profile" automatic linking function?
"Google Business Profile" is a free service provided by Google that allows you to disseminate information about your store or company. By displaying the latest store information on Google Search and Google Maps, you can spread the appeal of your business to many users and efficiently attract customers online. In order to effectively attract customers using "Google Business Profile," it is effective not only to register information but also to continuously disseminate information. However, because continuous information dissemination requires time and knowledge, it remains difficult for businesses to fully utilize it.
Therefore, Ekiten has developed an automatic linking function with Google Business Profile to enable businesses to efficiently disseminate information on an ongoing basis and focus on their business.
■ Details of the "Google Business Profile" automatic linking function
This feature is available to businesses that are paid store members of Ekiten and can be used by applying. After applying, by setting Ekiten as your agent, the information you have registered and edited on Ekiten will be automatically updated on your Google Business Profile. This means that you can disseminate information on your Google Business Profile simply by updating Ekiten, significantly improving your ability to attract customers online.

In addition, Ekiten's automatic linking function with Google Business Profile allows businesses to easily set which locations they want to automatically update and which locations they don't want to automatically update, giving them precise control over their information.
Ekiten will continue to develop new features and improve the quality of its site to provide a better place for users looking for stores to meet and discover new businesses that want to increase their customer attraction.
