Amy Toman sheds light on some crucial points that every coworking space owner needs to be aware of Expand 👇 concerning Google Business Profiles (GBP) in a discussion with Christy Alexander on the Just Off Glen podcast.
Note: One standout point is the strict prohibition of offering any form of gift, incentive, or reimbursement in exchange for a Google Review. We know it’s tempting to sweeten the deal by offering free drop-in passes or discounts on meeting room bookings for reviews, but beware… if reported, just once, your precious GBP listing could be lost forever.

😳 Did an aggregator add booking links to your Google Maps listings?
Jamie Russo and Amy Toman highlight that some operators are seeing unauthorized booking links on Expand 👇 their Google Maps listings from platforms (in this case Peerspace).
I don’t usually do deep dives. but this one peed me off a little.
Now, it’s only a matter of time before Google Business Profile listings feature a ‘book space’ button that lets searchers pick dates and book on-demand space (much like you can do via opentable/resy/tock/etc for restaurants), but… there’s two major obstacles.

Operators should be able to opt-in (not opt-out) to allowing these booking links from specific platforms. As SEO/word-of-mouth drives a huge proportion of the best flex space leads, unauthorized booking buttons could eat into profits and long-term sustainability.

These platforms need to be deeply and tightly integrated with the management systems, meeting room, access control, KYC/AML, IT provisioning systems too. Workspace operate very differently from restaurants, and it only takes 1 bad experience to turn a whole business away from flex workspaces, for ever.
