Sync Methods
Manual Sync
Trigger a sync manually:
- Go to Synoveo → Dashboard
- Click Sync Now
- Wait for completion
- Review results
Auto-Sync
Enable automatic sync:
- Go to Synoveo → Settings
- Enable "Auto-Sync"
- Set frequency (hourly, daily, weekly)
Content-Triggered Sync
Sync when content changes:
- When you update business info
- When you publish a new post (with auto-post enabled)
- When you update products/services
Sync Status
Check sync status in Synoveo → Sync History:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Success | All data synced successfully |
| Partial | Some fields synced, others failed |
| Failed | Sync failed (see error details) |
| In Progress | Sync currently running |
Sync Preview
Before syncing, preview what will change:
- Go to Synoveo → Dashboard
- Click Preview Sync
- Review the comparison:
- Local: Your WordPress data
- Google: Current GBP data
- Changes: What will be updated
Field-Level Control
Control what syncs at the field level:
- Go to Synoveo → Field Settings
- Toggle individual fields on/off
- Fields you disable won't sync
Your plan determines which fields are available. Disabled fields won't sync even if you enable them.
Conflict Resolution
When data differs between WordPress and Google:
WordPress Wins (Default)
WordPress data overwrites Google. Use when WordPress is your source of truth.
Google Wins
Keep Google data, don't overwrite. Use when you want to manage some fields directly in Google.
Manual Review
Flag conflicts for manual resolution. See conflicts in Synoveo → Conflicts.
Sync Logs
View detailed logs in Synoveo → Logs:
- Timestamp
- Fields synced
- Success/failure status
- Error messages
Enable debug mode for verbose logging:
// In wp-config.php
define('SYNOVEO_DEBUG', true);Best Practices
- Test first - Use Preview before syncing
- Start small - Enable fields gradually
- Monitor - Check sync status regularly
- Backup - Keep a record of your GBP state before major syncs
