Give Kimoun access to your Google Business Profile

For Kimoun to manage your Google Business Profile, you simply invite us as a manager. You remain the owner: you keep control and can remove this access at any time.

⚠️ The address to invite is always a @kimoun.com address.
The exact email to enter is given to you directly by your Kimoun contact during the setup call. If you are asked to invite an address that does not end in @kimoun.com, stop and contact us via support.kimoun.com: it could be an impersonation attempt.

Invite Kimoun as a manager

  1. Sign in to the Google account that owns the profile. Search for your business name on Google (or Google Maps) to display the management panel of your profile.
  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮).
  3. Choose “Business Profile settings”.
  4. Open “Users and access”.
  5. Click “Add” (the add-person icon, top right).
  6. Enter the @kimoun.com email address given by your contact.
  7. In the roles list, select “Manager” (definitely not “Owner”).
  8. Click “Invite”. Kimoun receives an email and accepts the invitation — access then becomes active.
Why “Manager” and not “Owner”?
Manager: can edit information, reply to reviews, publish posts and manage photos — everything Kimoun needs to maintain your profile. Owner: can additionally manage users and delete the profile. By inviting us as a manager, you keep full ownership of your profile.
Remove access later?
At any time, go back to “Users and access”, click the manager concerned, then “Remove”. Access is revoked immediately.
Trouble finding these screens?
Google's labels change occasionally (“Users and access” may also be called “Managers”). When in doubt, contact us on Telegram: we will guide you step by step.
Want to go further with your profile?
Kimoun offers a free audit of your Google Business Profile within 48h: categories, photos, reviews, offers — to be found and chosen on Google Maps.

Frequently asked questions

How do I invite Kimoun as a manager of my Google Business Profile?

Sign in to the Google account that owns the profile, search for your business on Google or Maps, then open the three-dot menu and "Business Profile settings". Go to "Users and access", click "Add", enter the @kimoun.com address given by your contact, then choose the "Manager" role — definitely not "Owner". Finally click "Invite": Kimoun receives an email and accepts the invitation, which activates access. You remain the owner of your profile and keep full control. The address to invite always ends in @kimoun.com; if you are asked for anything else, stop and contact us. The whole operation usually takes less than five minutes.

Why give Kimoun the "Manager" role and not "Owner" on my Google profile?

The "Manager" role is enough for Kimoun: it allows editing your information, replying to reviews, publishing posts and managing your photos — that is, everything maintaining your profile requires. The "Owner" role goes further, since it also allows managing users and deleting the profile. By inviting us as a manager, you keep full ownership and therefore the final say. This choice protects your business: no one else can take your profile away from you. It is the standard best practice for entrusting profile management to a partner without giving up control. You delegate the daily work while keeping the key to your presence on Google Maps.

How do I remove Kimoun's access to my Google profile later?

Go back at any time to "Users and access" on your profile, click the manager concerned, then "Remove": access is revoked immediately. Because you remain the owner, this action depends on you alone and needs no external approval. You keep control over who can act on your Google presence, with no long-term commitment. Google's labels change occasionally, "Users and access" sometimes appearing as "Managers" depending on the version. If you cannot find the screen, contact us on Telegram and we will guide you step by step. This full reversibility is exactly the point of the manager role rather than the owner role.

I'm asked to invite an address that doesn't end in @kimoun.com, is that normal?

No, that is not normal: the address to invite as a manager is always a @kimoun.com address, given directly by your contact during the setup call. If you are asked to invite an address from another domain, do not go further. An invitation to an unknown address may be an impersonation attempt aimed at taking control of your profile. Always check the exact domain before granting access. When in doubt, write to support@kimoun.com to confirm the legitimate address before any action. This caution protects your business, because a hijacked Google profile is long and painful to recover. A thirty-second check beats a dispute lasting several weeks.

How do I improve my Google Maps ranking in Guadeloupe?

Improving your Google Maps ranking relies on a complete, up-to-date profile: precise categories, recent photos, exact hours, offers and regular replies to reviews. A neglected profile stays invisible next to better-filled competitors. Kimoun offers a Google Business Profile audit in Guadeloupe within 48h, aiming for the top 3 Maps results. The goal is not only to be found, but also to be chosen by people searching near you. A well-kept profile acts like a local shopfront open around the clock. It is often the fastest lever to gain visibility close to home, even before reworking your website.

Do AI search engines use a company's Google Business Profile?

Yes, AI search engines rely on structured sources like the Google Business Profile to describe a company, its hours, its address and its activity. A complete, consistent profile therefore improves how these tools present you. Conversely, an incomplete or contradictory profile blurs the information these engines pick up. Kimoun's SEO and GEO approach in Guadeloupe works on this consistency for Google and for AI search engines at once. Caring for your profile also means caring for your presence in AI-generated answers. Keeping your hours, address and categories accurate is the simplest way to feed these engines correctly. These citations are becoming a visibility channel it would be a shame to neglect today.

Can a business delegate its Google profile management while keeping control?

Yes, a business can entrust the running of its Google profile to a partner while remaining the owner and keeping full control. You simply invite the provider as a manager, a role revocable at any time. Kimoun runs its clients' profiles this way as part of its Google Business Profile service in Guadeloupe, without ever asking for ownership. You delegate the daily work — reviews, photos, posts, updates — without handing over the keys to your online presence. This clear split of roles reassures and respects the Kimoun principle: you stay in charge of your access. Delegating execution while keeping ownership is the healthiest formula over time.
