Kaldr Tech + Google Business Profile
Keep hours, services, and reviews fresh without logging into Google
What It Does
The Kaldr Tech Google Business Profile integration keeps your Google listing in sync with everything you already manage inside Kaldr. Business hours, holiday closures, service categories, and service areas all push from Kaldr to Google automatically, so you update once and your listing stays current. Inbound reviews from Google flow into Kaldr as tasks with the reviewer's name, rating, and comment, and you can reply directly from the Kaldr dashboard without switching tabs. Review requests triggered after a completed job are deep-linked to your Google Business Profile so happy customers leave feedback where it actually matters for local search ranking.
Why It Matters
Google Business Profile is the single most important local marketing asset for a trades shop. Listings with accurate hours, complete service categories, and a steady flow of fresh reviews show up in the Local Pack, and the Local Pack drives roughly 44 percent of all clicks on a local search. Shops that run a disciplined review request program typically add 2 to 4 new Google reviews per week, and each new review is worth an estimated $200 to $500 in downstream revenue based on industry benchmarks. Over a year, that is $20,000 to $100,000 in incremental booked work from reviews alone. The problem is that most owners are too busy to log into Google Business Profile, and listings go stale within weeks. With Kaldr's integration, updating your hours before a holiday or adding a new service line happens inside the tool you already use every day, and review requests fire automatically after every completed job. And because the integration marketplace is free to connect, you get all of this without another marketing software bill.
How to Set It Up
- 1
Connect your Google Business Profile
From Settings, Integrations, Google Business Profile, click Connect and sign in with the Google account that owns your listing. If you manage multiple locations, you will see a list and can pick which ones to link to which Kaldr workspace.
- 2
Sync hours, services, and service areas
Kaldr reads your current listing and shows a side-by-side comparison with your Kaldr settings. Approve the merge and everything stays in sync going forward. Future changes you make in Kaldr push to Google automatically within minutes.

Set up review request automation
Choose how many hours after job completion a review request should fire and which customers qualify. Most shops send requests 2 hours after the tech marks the job complete, only to residential customers, and only when the tech rates the job 4 stars or higher internally.
- 4
Customize the review request message
Write a short, personal message that includes the customer's first name and the tech's name. Authentic messages pull 3 to 4 times the response rate of generic templates. Kaldr will preview exactly what the customer sees before you save.
- 5
Enable review replies from Kaldr
Turn on review inbox so new Google reviews land in Kaldr as tasks. Assign them to the owner or office manager and reply directly from Kaldr. Replies post back to Google instantly and show up under your business name.

- ✓An office manager sees a 3-star review land in her Kaldr inbox, replies with an apology and a follow-up offer directly from the dashboard, and the customer updates the review to 5 stars.
- ✓An owner expands into a neighboring town, adds the new service area in Kaldr, and starts showing up in Local Pack results for that town without ever opening Google Business Profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to verify my Google Business Profile separately?
Yes. Kaldr cannot verify a listing for you, that is a Google process involving a postcard or phone call. Once your listing is verified, the Kaldr integration connects in about 60 seconds.
Can I manage multiple locations?
Yes. Multi-location shops can map each location to its own Kaldr workspace, or run them all under one workspace and tag jobs by location. Both setups are supported.
Will review requests look like spam?
No. Requests go out from your own sending number or email with a short, personal message that includes the customer's first name and the tech's name. Kaldr also rate-limits per customer so nobody gets multiple requests.
Is there a fee for the Google Business Profile integration?
No. The Kaldr integration marketplace is free to connect. You only pay for your Kaldr plan, nothing on top.
Can I reply to reviews from my phone?
Yes. Review replies work from the Kaldr mobile app, so owners can handle responses on the go without logging into Google on a browser.
