Map Check-Ins is built to help you turn real jobs into useful content.

Instead of creating separate posts for every platform, your team can upload one check-in with a photo and short description, then send it to the places that matter most.

This helps with:

To get started, follow this order:

Start by setting up the business information used across your check-ins.

Add your:

Your logo can be used as a watermark on your check-ins.

This profile controls how your content appears across connected platforms, so it is important to keep it accurate.

Make sure your business information matches your Google Business Profile as closely as possible.

Before you can publish check-ins to Google, you need to connect your Google Business Profile.

Open the platform and go to the Google Business Profile connection area. Click Connect Account and follow the sign-in steps.

Choose the Google account that manages the correct business listing.

Once connected, you can publish check-ins directly to Google Search and Maps.

Always use the Google account that actually manages the business profile. If you sign in with the wrong account, the correct listing may not appear.

Map Check-Ins requires an active subscription for each business you want to use.

If the business has not been activated yet, subscribe first before trying to create or publish check-ins.

Once the subscription is active, that business is ready to use inside Map Check-Ins.

If more than one person will be creating check-ins, add your team members to the account.

This is useful for businesses with office staff, field teams, or multiple locations.

Common roles may include:

Keep it clear and simple.

A good description usually includes:

Example:

Select the platforms you want to use for that check-in.

Available options may include:

You can choose one or multiple platforms depending on your workflow.

This is optional, but it can help add extra trust to the website version of the post.

When your check-in is ready, you can either publish it immediately or schedule it for later.

Use Publish if you want the post to go live right away.

Use Schedule Post if you want to choose a future date and time.

Scheduling is useful when:

If you want your check-ins to appear on your website, set up the website widget.

Go to the Widget section and create a widget.

You may be able to customize:

Once ready, copy the embed script and add it to your website.

This turns your website into a live feed of real work your team has completed.

Once setup is complete, you should have:

Always connect the account that actually manages the business listing.

Check-ins work better when they sound real and specific.

Use real job photos that clearly show the work.

Double-check the selected business before posting.

If you want check-ins on your website, make sure the widget is created and embedded correctly.

Map Check-Ins helps you publish real job updates across your connected platforms.

Once this is set up, your team can turn completed jobs into consistent content without adding a lot of extra work.
