The next question you may want to ask is who should own an Integrated Online (Home) Business Profile? 

Anyone can have an Integrated Online Business Profile. Yes!

• You can have a profile even if your business doesn’t have a physical address as long as you make in-person contact with customers. 

• You can also have a profile if you’re a hybrid business that serves customers at your business address and visits or delivers directly to customers.

• You may also have a profile if you’re a service-area business that visits or delivers to customers directly, but doesn't serve customers at its business address, like a plumber or cleaning service.

You may also want to ask if it is still necessary to have an Integrated Online Business Profile since you already have (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) your social media handle business profiles (Page) or you want to know the difference between social handles business Page and online business profile.

We advocate that you set up a Business Profile (Page) on all Social media Handles as much as possible but it is very necessary to have an Integrated Online Business Profile even if you already have (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) your social handle business profiles.

The difference between an Integrated Online Business Profile and Social handles Business Profile (Page) is very large. Yes!

Like it implies Integrated Online Business Profile, Unlike the Website which is static and a one way communication system despite its integrations, Integrated Online Business Profile has social features and integrations that enable you to respond to reviews when you’re signed into your account just like every other social platform.

As we all know, Social Media handles are limited to communicating to customers on the same social handle. 

• WhatsApp Business Profile communicates with only customers who are on and use WhatsApp.

• Facebook Business Profile communicates with only customers who are on and use Facebook.

• Instagram Business Profile communicates with only customers who are on and use Instagram.

• Likewise other Social Media Business Profiles.

Many others who are not users of the same social media platforms won’t know about your business profile nor can they interact with you (Your Business Profile).

With an Integrated Online Business Profile, customers can contribute to your profile information, drop their review and when you reply to a review, your response appears below your customer's review on Google Search and Maps under the label "Response from the owner". Yes you heard me right.

If your business provides specific services with different times (e.g. Service hours, delivery, takeout) you can set “More hours” instead of special hours which you can not do on any Social Media Business Profile.
