Feeling swamped managing multiple Google Business Profiles? AI tools for Google My Business can be your secret weapon, especially if you’re managing multiple Google Business Profiles.

Staying on top of posts, profile updates, and positive and bad reviews can be a time-consuming hassle. Thankfully, innovative AI tools are here to streamline GMB management and boost your online presence.

The Struggle is Real: Popular social media management tools like Hootsuite, Sprout Social, or Later often fall short for Google My Business. They do not integrate with GMB at all, lack AI features entirely, or reserve their AI capabilities for other platforms.

Having that said, let’s categorize all these tools into two categories: social media management tools and SEO tools.

AI Social Media Management Tools for Google My Business

There are actually more AI-powered social media management tools that support GMB management than what’s on this list, but here are some of the top picks:

Circleboom Publish

Circleboom Publish isn’t your average social media scheduler. This AI-powered tool lets you manage Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Google Business Profile all in one place.

Here’s what sets it apart for GMB:

SocialPilot

SocialPilot goes beyond scheduling for Google My Business. Its built-in AI assistant helps craft engaging captions for your GMB posts, streamlining content creation.

However, as it focuses on social media management as a general task, it lacks the in-depth AI features of some other tools.
