Everything you need to know about the Google Business app

What happened to the Google My Business app?

For years, the Google My Business app was the go-to mobile app for local business owners. It let you edit your business information, post updates, respond to reviews and check basic insights from your phone. In 2022, Google retired the standalone Google My Business app and rebranded the product as "Google Business Profile." Instead of one dedicated app, Google began pushing owners to manage their profile directly inside Google Search and Google Maps. There is no longer an official, single Google My Business app to download from the Play Store or App Store.

That change left a real gap. Searching the Play Store or App Store for a "Google Business app" or "Google My Business app download" now returns a confusing mix of redirects and third-party tools. Business owners who relied on one clean app to manage everything were suddenly bouncing between the Search app, the Maps app and a desktop dashboard. Ampli5 Pulse fills that gap — a purpose-built Google Business app you can download on iOS, Android and the web that brings profile management, reviews and GBP performance tracking back into one place.

How to download the Google Business app

Getting started with the Ampli5 Pulse Google Business app takes about two minutes and costs nothing. You can download it on whichever device suits you best:

• 📱Google My Business app for iPhone (iOS): Download the app from the Apple App Store on any iPhone or iPad, sign in, and connect your Google Business Profile.
• 🤖Google Business app for Android: Get the app free from the Google Play Store, open it, and link your profile to start managing reviews and rankings on the go.
• 🌐Web app: Prefer your desktop? Open the web app in any browser — no install required, with full feature parity across web, iPhone and Android.

The Google Business app download is completely free to start. There is no credit card required, no trial countdown on the free plan, and your data syncs instantly across every device, so you can begin a task on your phone and finish it on your laptop.

What you can do inside the Google Business Profile app

A good Google Business Profile app should do far more than let you tweak your phone number. Ampli5 Pulse turns your phone into a full local-marketing command centre. Once you download the app and connect your profile, you can:

• Manage your profile: update business hours, address, phone, description, categories, photos and cover images in seconds.
• Reply to reviews: read every new Google review as it lands and respond with AI-assisted replies, right from the app.
• track your GBP performance: see exactly where you rank for the searches that matter and watch your position climb week over week.
• Post updates and offers: publish Google Posts, events and special offers to keep your profile fresh and engaging.
• Audit and improve: get a live profile insights with a prioritised checklist of fixes to help you rank higher.
• Watch competitors: see who is outranking you nearby and exactly what they are doing differently.

Everything that the old Google My Business app used to do — and a great deal that it never could — now lives in a single Google business application you carry in your pocket.

The Google Business app for iPhone, Android and the web

One of the most common questions we hear is whether there is a Google My Business app for iPhone or a Google Business app for Android — and the honest answer is that Google no longer offers a dedicated one. Ampli5 Pulse does. Whatever device you reach for, the app is built to feel native and fast.

Is the Google Business app free to download?

Yes. The Ampli5 Pulse Google Business app is free to download on iOS, Android and the web, and the free plan stays free — there is no trial clock and no credit card needed to start. The free Starter plan covers one Google Business Profile with performance insights, review monitoring and a GBP audit checklist, which is everything a single-location business needs to begin.

When you are ready to grow, paid plans unlock advanced GBP performance tracking, AI-powered review replies, competitor benchmarking and multi-location management. You can try the app today without spending anything — then upgrade only if and when it earns its place.

A Google Business Profile manager app for multiple locations

If you manage more than one location, the lack of a proper Google Business manager app has been a daily headache. Switching between profiles in Search and Maps simply does not scale. Ampli5 Pulse was built as a true Google Business Profile manager app: agencies, franchises and multi-location brands can oversee dozens or hundreds of profiles from one dashboard, with multi-user access and white-label reporting.

Whether you are a solo owner who needs a simple "my business google app" for one shopfront, or an agency hunting for a Google business manager app to run every client in one place, the same app scales with you — no separate logins, no spreadsheets, no juggling tabs.
