TL;DR
What did u/Turbulent-Summer8889 use Gemini for?
After connecting Gemini to their Google Business Profile, a business owner describes asking it in plain language to change hours, menus, photos and booking links, draft review replies, and report how the business did this month. Routine listing changes and review replies happen from a chat window instead of clicking through the profile settings.
What they did
They connected Gemini to their Google Business Profile and used plain requests instead of the dashboard: updating hours, the menu, photos and booking links, drafting replies to reviews, and asking questions like "how'd my business do this month."
How it went
Routine listing changes and review replies happen from a chat window instead of clicking through the profile settings.
Worth knowing
- The post says it works with only one verified profile. Read every review reply before it goes out; the poster points out a generic reply to an angry 1-star review can make things worse.
- Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).
Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
Look at the reviews on my Google Business Profile from the last 2 weeks. Draft a short reply to each one in a friendly, plain voice. For any review under 3 stars, apologize for the specific problem they mention and offer a way to contact us. Don't post anything; show me the drafts first.
