Team Collaboration New

Team Collaboration helps operators control who can work inside the Localith ai google review reply tool workflow without giving outside agencies or former employees direct access to the Google Business Profile accounts themselves.

Overview

Use this page when you need to invite teammates, limit what they can access, and reduce the risk of losing control over your Google Business Profile operations.

This workflow is broader than reply approvals alone. It is the access-control layer that lets you decide who can work on publishing, reports, business information, responses, listings, and AI-credit usage inside Localith.

Why this matters

Using Localith instead of giving direct Google Business Profile access helps teams avoid common operational risks:

• agencies or former employees keeping direct control over brand profiles
• unauthorized changes to business information or review workflows
• difficulty limiting access to only the features someone actually needs
• loss of control when multiple people work across many locations

For multi-location teams, this is one of the practical advantages of working through Localith's API-powered operating layer instead of relying on shared direct GBP access.

Before you start

Before you invite a teammate, decide:

• whether they should be an Admin or an Editor
• which product areas they actually need to access
• whether they should manage all locations or only selected listings
• whether they should be allowed to use AI credits

If your team also needs billing or account-level permission context, pair this page with Team Management.

Open the Team Members area

The current flow starts from the Team Members submenu.

1. Open the submenu and click Team Members.
2. This takes you to the team-members page where existing members and invitations are managed.
3. Click Invite team member to start a new invite.

Invite a new Admin or Editor

Use this flow when you need to add a new person to the workspace.

1. Enter the team member's email address.
2. Choose the role: Admin or Editor.
3. Review the access options before sending the invite.
4. Confirm the invite once the selected role and permissions match the person's responsibilities.

Based on the current Localith flow:

• Admin is the higher-access role.
• Editor has limited access to view and edit based on the permissions you assign.

Configure Editor access

When you invite an Editor, the setup can be narrowed using specific access controls.

Current confirmed access options include:

• Specific product feature

• Access to manage one or more Google listings

• AI credits

This lets you keep operations moving without handing over unrestricted workspace access.

How this supports safer review operations

For review-response teams, the practical value is control.

Instead of sharing direct Google access, you can let the right people work inside Localith while keeping the underlying profile ownership safer.

Examples:

• let a teammate work on Responses without giving them full account-wide control
• allow an operator to manage only the listings they own
• give someone reporting access without giving them broader editing power
• let a reviewer use AI-powered features only when that is part of their role

This is especially useful when agencies, contractors, or former employees should not remain tied directly to the live Google Business Profile accounts.

Tips and best practices

• Start with the most restrictive access that still lets the person do their job.
• Use Editor for operators who do not need full workspace control.
• Limit listing access whenever someone should only handle a subset of locations.
• Review AI-credit access carefully so usage matches role expectations.
• Revisit team access whenever an agency relationship ends or an employee changes responsibilities.

Limits or edge cases

• Current source coverage confirms the invite flow, Admin vs Editor role split, and the three key Editor access areas, but not every possible edge-case permission combination.
• If your internal process is complex, test the invited user's access before rolling the setup out widely.
• This page focuses on operational access control, not billing or seat-limit policy.
