Google Business
Connect your Google Business profile to Adventist Place to view and reply to Google reviews, sync your church's information (such as contact details and opening times) to Google Search and Maps, and see performance insights — all from one place.
Important: If you don't already own your Google Business listing, it is often better to contact support@adventist.place to help you claim it and let Adventist Media own it on your behalf. This way, as people and pastors move around in the church, the church can continue to manage it within Adventist Place. At any point in the future, the church can request to have the ownership transferred to an individual.

- Click About in the left menu
