🔍 Overview
If you want to stop OTTO from managing a Google Business Profile (GBP) and remove its automation entirely — without using the Deep Freeze option — this article walks you through the correct steps to fully disconnect OTTO from your GBP project.
📋 Before You Start
- Deep Freeze vs. Disconnect: Deep Freeze pauses OTTO activity temporarily. The steps below permanently disconnect OTTO from the selected GBP project.
- Disconnecting OTTO will stop all automated actions on that profile, including post scheduling, review responses, and any other active automations.
- Your existing GBP data and content will not be deleted — only the OTTO automation link is removed.
🛠️ How to Disconnect OTTO from a Google Business Profile
- In the left sidebar, click OTTO SEO, then open SEO Automation (URL:
/seo-automation-v3) to open the OTTO SEO dashboard. - Locate the GBP project you want to disconnect — for example, Wafa Masonry — in your list of active OTTO projects.
- Click on the project name to open its OTTO configuration panel.
- Look for the Disconnect or Remove Connection option within the project settings. This is separate from the Deep Freeze toggle.
- Confirm the disconnection when prompted. OTTO will immediately stop all automation for that Google Business Profile.
✅ Verify the Disconnection
After completing the steps above, confirm that OTTO has been fully removed:
- Navigate to Left sidebar → GBP Projects → Overview (URL:
/gbp-galactic/gbp-projects). - Select the affected GBP project from your project list.
- Check that no active OTTO automations are listed for the profile. The project should show as unmanaged by OTTO.
- You can also review Left sidebar → GBP Projects → My Tasks to confirm no pending OTTO-generated tasks remain for that location.
⚠️ What Happens After Disconnection
- Posts: Scheduled posts created by OTTO will be cancelled. Previously published posts remain live on your GBP.
- Reviews: Automated review responses will stop. You can still manage reviews manually via Left sidebar → Local → Reviews.
- Citations: Any citation work handled under Left sidebar → Local → Local Citations continues independently and is not affected by disconnecting OTTO.
- Media: Uploaded media in Left sidebar → Local → Media Library is retained and unaffected.
🔄 Reconnecting OTTO in the Future
If you decide to use OTTO automation again for this GBP project, you can reconnect at any time from the OTTO SEO V3 dashboard. Simply locate the project and follow the on-screen setup steps to re-enable automation.
