About Google Maps

Use cases

What teams actually do with the Google Maps integration

Weekly performance digest

Every Monday, BeforeQuery pulls the week's Google Maps data, compares to prior week + prior year, flags anomalies, and drafts a digest for the marketing leader. Delivered before the standup; no manual report-building.

Anomaly-driven alerts

Google Maps spend spikes 40% over baseline → BeforeQuery investigates (which campaign, which region, what changed), routes to the owning team with context, and pauses the offender if configured to.

Ad-hoc performance Q&A

CMO asks "what's our CAC on Google Ads this month?" → BeforeQuery pulls Google Maps data, cross-references with new customers in CRM, computes CAC. Answer in seconds; drill-down link to source data.

Answer questions grounded in Google Maps

Employees and customers ask Google Maps-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Google Maps record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into Ads / Analytics to check" round-trips.

Google Maps — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Google Maps.

Yes, gated by approval matrix. Read-only Q&A is autopilot. Pause actions typically require the marketing owner's approval. Budget changes always require an approver with the current spend + proposed spend shown.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Google Maps supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Google Maps data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Google Maps integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Google Maps objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Google Maps for real.
