3 - Is it safe to do?
Our application is based on world's latest security solutions and is regularly updated. Google will not allow the use of its resources and API for platforms/websites/applications that want to fulfil the highest security standards.
Allowing connection between Localo and your Google Business Profile is equivalent to adding an extra user to be able to manage your account.
The difference is that this extra user is yourself that has the ability to influence/access `GBP from a different access point - Localo app.
By adding a connection You do not share your Google password with Localo team. That is why (sometimes) when you choose to log in via the second option you need to create a new password.
