10. Ensure that all of the toggles are on for the destinations you'd like to sync to. The "Source" column will show the source of truth for the location. This source will determine which set of records will be used to sync to the other destinations - this can either be Google or dbaPlatform. If it is Google, then we will pull the data that Google has on file and sync that data to the other destinations. If it is dbaPlatform, then any edits made within dbaPlatform will be synced out on a daily basis to the other destinations, including Google - this has the additional benefit of overriding any crowdsource changes made to your Google profile, saving you time from ensuring no erroneous changes have been made to your GBPs.
