The Google Business Profile integration imports your business locations from Google into 1Club as gyms. An owner or admin connects the Google account that manages the Business Profile, then picks which locations to import. Each one becomes a gym with its details filled in from Google.

​
When to use it

It saves retyping every address when your locations already live on Google. Data flows one way, from Google into 1Club, and only when you run an import. Typical uses:
  • Onboarding a multi-site operator - a padel and tennis operator with four locations on Google imports them all at once, and each becomes its own gym, ready for areas and pricing.
  • Reusing a polished single listing - a boutique pilates studio imports its one Google listing, so its gym record matches Google from day one.
  • Adding a new location later - after adding a location on Google, run the import again for it. Locations you already imported fill in the existing gym instead of creating a second one.

​
Before you start

  • Google Business Profile isn’t available on the Free plan. It works during the trial and on paid plans.
  • Connecting and importing require the settings.manage.organization permission. Viewing the page and the location list requires settings.read.organization.
  • You need the Google account that owns or manages your Business Profile, with at least one location on it.

​
Connect Google Business Profile

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations and click Activate on the Google Business Profile card, under Marketing. The Google Business Profile page opens.
  2. Click Connect Google Business Profile.
  3. Sign in to Google and allow 1Club to access your Business Profile.
  4. You return to the page with the Google Business Profile status card showing Active.
Until you connect, the status shows Not activated.

​
Import locations

After you connect, the Import multiple locations card lists the locations on the first business account of the connected Google account. Each one shows its name, address, phone, website, description and categories.
  1. Tick the locations you want to import, or click Select All.
  2. Click Import (the button shows how many locations, for example Import 3 Locations).
When the import finishes, a Locations imported message confirms it, and a list shows each gym with its address. You can import up to 50 locations at a time. Each location is imported on its own, so one bad listing doesn’t stop the rest. If some fail, a Some locations were not imported message says how many. Check those locations in Google Business Profile and try again.

​
What a new gym gets

A location imported for the first time becomes a new, active gym with:
  • Its name, description, address and country.
  • Its phone number and website.
  • Its opening hours, when the listing has them.
  • Its map pin, taken from the listing.
  • Its sports, when the listing’s category matches one 1Club knows.
1Club also sets the gym’s time zone from its address and turns on its daily summary email. Photos aren’t imported.

​
Importing a location again

A location you already imported, or one whose Google place is already connected to a gym, is not created twice. Instead, the import fills in only the fields of that gym that are still empty. Anything you edited in 1Club is never overwritten. The map pin is the one exception: Google’s pin replaces a pin 1Club guessed from the address, but never one a person placed. A gym updated this way is marked (updated) in the list. If the gym is listed on the marketplace, the filled-in details wait for review before the public listing changes. The list marks these with changes awaiting review.

​
What syncs

This is a one-way import from Google into 1Club, on demand. Changes you make to a gym in 1Club don’t flow back to Google. Updates you make on Google don’t reach the gym until you import that location again, and then only into fields that are still empty.

​
Worked examples

​
Racket-sports operator onboarding four gyms

A padel and tennis operator running four gyms already keeps every address, phone number and website on Google. Instead of creating four gyms by hand, connect Google Business Profile, click Select All and import. Each location becomes a gym with the right address, contact details and opening hours, ready for you to add areas (courts) and pricing.

​
Single-studio owner reusing their Google listing

A boutique pilates studio owner has one Google listing with the business name, address and website they want customers to see. Connect, import the single location, and the gym record takes that data, so the marketplace listing and member portal match Google from day one.

​
Tips and best practices

  • Import first, then configure. The import fills in identity, contact and opening hours. You still add areas, pricing and branding per gym afterwards.
  • Connect with the Google account that actually manages the Business Profile. An account with no access to the profile shows no locations.
  • Import a new Google location rather than creating its gym by hand, so the gym is linked to its Google place.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Deactivate

  1. Click Deactivate at the top of the Google Business Profile page. It is shown once you have connected.
  2. Confirm in the Deactivate Google Business Profile? dialog. It warns that the integration stops working and its settings are deleted.
1Club deletes the stored Google connection and takes you back to Settings > Integrations. If the deactivation is refused, the reason shows inside the dialog. Gyms you already imported stay in 1Club unchanged. Deactivating doesn’t revoke access on Google’s side. To do that, remove 1Club from the third-party access list in your Google Account.
  • Integrations - the full integration catalog and how activation works.
  • Organization and clubs - where each imported gym’s details live.
  • Areas - set up bookable spaces inside each imported gym.
  • Marketplace - where imported gym details help power public listings.
