#### Why This Matters

By granting Manager permissions, you maintain full ownership and control of your Google Business Profile. CloudWaitress can access your profile to:

* Optimize your listing for better visibility
* Run promotions and special offers
* Update business information
* Respond to reviews
* Add posts and updates
* Improve your profile for better sales performance

**Important:** You retain owner access and can revoke CloudWaitress permissions at any time.

### Troubleshooting

**Don't see "People and Access"?**

* Make sure you're logged in as the business owner
* Try refreshing the page
* Ensure you've selected the correct business location

**Email address not accepted?**

* Double-check the email: <cloudwaitressonline@gmail.com>
* Make sure there are no extra spaces
* Try using the "Add by email" option instead of searching

**Only see "Owner" as an option?**

* You may need to confirm your business ownership first
* Contact Google Business support to verify your account status

**Invitation not going through?**

* Check your internet connection
* Try a different browser (Chrome recommended)
* Clear your browser cache and try again

***

### What Happens Next?

1. CloudWaitress will receive an email invitation to access your profile
2. Once accepted, you'll see the status change from "Pending" to "Active"
3. CloudWaitress will reach out to confirm access and discuss optimization plans
4. You can monitor all changes CloudWaitress makes through your owner dashboard
