Setup & Configuration
Configure the Synoveo WordPress plugin to connect with your Google Business Profile
After installing the plugin, you need to generate API credentials from the Synoveo Hub and configure your WordPress site.
Step 1: Sign in to Synoveo Hub
Go to app.synoveo.com and sign in with your Google account.
Synoveo uses Google OAuth for authentication. You'll be signed in directly with your Google account - no separate registration required.
Step 2: Connect Your Google Business Profile
After signing in, navigate to Locations to connect and manage your Google Business Profile locations.
Enable Sync for Your Location
Before creating an API key, you must enable sync for the location you want to connect to WordPress:
- Find your location in the list
- Toggle the Sync switch to ON
- The location must be verified in Google Business Profile
Only locations with sync enabled will appear in the API key creation modal. Make sure to toggle sync ON before proceeding.
Step 3: Generate API Credentials
Navigate to API Keys
Click API Keys in the sidebar, then click Create API Key
Configure your API key:
- Platform: Select WordPress
- Location: Choose the Google location to sync (only locations with sync enabled appear)
- Domain: Your WordPress site URL
Copy Your Credentials
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret displayed.
Important: The Client Secret is only shown once. Save it securely before closing this dialog!
Step 4: Configure WordPress
Open Synoveo Dashboard
In WordPress admin, go to Synoveo → Dashboard. You'll see the disconnected state initially.
Connect
Click Connect to establish the connection.
Verify Connection
You should see the connected state with your Google Business Profile location details.
The dashboard shows:
- Your connected location name
