Common Issues and Fixes
“Location already added”
This means the GBP location is already connected to the Social Planner.
The same location cannot be added twice.
“This location belongs to a chain”
GBP accounts with more than 10 locations are treated as chain businesses.
Google disables the Local Post API for these locations.
Posting to these locations is not supported in the Social Planner.
Cannot publish to GBP after connecting
Confirm the GBP connection is still Active.
Ensure the Google account permissions were not revoked.
