Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t know which Google account manages my profile?
Try logging into Google Business Profile Manager using any business-related email you have. If you’re still unsure, your office manager or marketing team may be able to help.
Can I link multiple Google accounts?
Not at this time. We recommend using a single account that manages all your locations (especially for multi-location practices).
What happens if I don’t complete the linking step?
Without linking your Google account, Zocdoc won’t be able to set up or verify your Google Business Profile. This means the booking button won’t appear on your Google Business Profile — even if Book from Google is enabled.
Is this service free?
Yes! There’s no charge for Zocdoc to create, claim or verify Google Business Profiles on your behalf or for any bookings made via your Google Business Profile.
Will this affect my existing reviews or Google listing?
No. We claim your existing profiles when possible — nothing is deleted or overwritten.
What if I don’t want to give Zocdoc access to my Google account?
You’re in control. We won’t take any action without your authorization, and you can revoke access at any time. You can create or claim your Google Business Profiles through Google (Here)
Can I track the connection status of each provider or practice location?
Yes! The Google Business Profile tab in your Zocdoc settings shows real-time statuses and what actions are required.
