Your customers search Google Maps to find you. But what does Google show them?

== Description ==

If you don't tell Google who you are, Google decides for you. Using outdated info, Booking.com listings, or Airbnb pages instead of YOUR website.

Synoveo makes your WordPress site the source of truth. You write your info once. Google Maps shows it.

= The Problem =

Google needs information about your business. If you don't provide it clearly, Google fills in the gaps:

* Wrong hours from an old directory
* A description Google wrote for you
* Links to Booking.com or Airbnb instead of your website
* Phone numbers that don't work

Your customers get confused. They book somewhere else. They show up when you're closed. They blame you.

= The Solution =

Synoveo connects your WordPress site to Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business).

You write your business information once on your own website. Synoveo sends it to Google. Google Maps shows what YOU said.

No more guessing. No more outdated info. No more sending customers to Booking.com or Expedia when you have your own booking system.

= The Result =

* Google Maps shows YOUR hours, YOUR description, YOUR links
* Customers go to YOUR website, not third party sites
* You control what Google says about your business

**One sentence:** Synoveo makes sure Google repeats what's on your website instead of deciding for you.

== Installation ==

1. Install Synoveo from the WordPress plugin directory
2. Create your free account at app.synoveo.com (use the same email as your Google Business Profile)
3. Copy your credentials into the plugin
4. Done. Google now gets your info from your website.

No technical setup. No field mapping. The plugin handles everything.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why do I need this? =

When customers search Google Maps for your business, Google shows them information. If you don't control that information, Google uses whatever it finds: old directories, Booking.com, Airbnb, or its own guesses. Synoveo makes sure Google shows what YOU say.

= What is Google Business Profile? =

It is how your business appears on Google Maps and Google Search. You may know it as Google My Business. Same thing, new name.

= I already have a Google Business Profile. Why do I need Synoveo? =

You can update Google manually. But your WordPress site already has your hours, your description, your links. Why type it twice? Synoveo sends your WordPress info to Google automatically. One source of truth.

= Will this help me rank higher on Google Maps? =

Yes. Google rewards businesses with complete, accurate, consistent information. When your website and Google Business Profile match perfectly, Google trusts you more.

= Do I need technical skills? =

No. Install the plugin, create an account, paste your credentials. That is all.

= What if I have multiple locations? =

Free plan includes 1 location. Pro plan lets you add more at $5/month each.

= Does it work with my booking system? =

Synoveo works with WooCommerce and most WordPress booking plugins. Your booking links go to YOUR system, not to Booking.com or Expedia.

= What about my Google reviews? =

Synoveo displays your Google reviews on your WordPress site. Show visitors what real customers say without them leaving your page.

= Is my data safe? =

Yes. All communication is encrypted. Your Google credentials never touch our servers. We only send your public business information to Google.
