GHL Customer Care stores the representative's contact and role information as part of the Business Profile so the appropriate person can be associated with the business during applicable reviews. If you are the person authorized to represent the business, enter your own information. If someone else has that responsibility, enter that person's information instead. --- ## **How to Set Your Authorized Representative** 1.
