Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW) has partnered with Google to link your ATDW profile to your Google Business Profile. This functionality allows the changes you make to your ATDW Profile to automatically update your linked Google Business Profile. This functionality also allows you to view valuable Google generated statistics and insights from your ATDW account.
What is a Google Business Profile?
A Google profile is the summary information that appears in Google Search and on Google Maps when the name of your business is searched. A Google Business Profile is the tool that enables you to control how your business information shows up on Google. The Google Business Profile forms a valuable part of the consumer journey.

Why should you link your ATDW profile to your Google Business Profile?
By linking your ATDW profile to your Google Business Profile, you can update more of your digital marketing channels with minimal effort, and save time. For example, when you need to update your business phone number, instead of updating both your ATDW account and your Google Business Profile, you can just update ATDW profile and the updates will automatically sync to the associated Google Business Profile. Applicable fields that will sync from ATDW to a linked Google Business Profile include; Business Name, Business Type, Address, Phone Number, Website URL, Description, Opening Hours and Product Image/s.
Linking also allows you to view valuable Google generated statistics on your business' search performance in ATDW-Online.
