How to build multi-location GBP Q&A response for franchise + multi-store operations

This guide explains how to architect the gbp-qna-response skill on the gbp-agent end-to-end at multi-location franchise + multi-store scale: per-portfolio per-location per-question per-LLM-draft per-brand-voice-gate per-vertical-compliance-overlay per-jurisdiction-overlay per-threshold-gating per-owner-vs-user-question-routing per-spam-detection per-crisis-flag + per-Google-FAQ-rich-results-deprecation-2023 historical context + per-portfolio audit-trail.

Why per-vendor-Birdeye-Q&A-template breaks at multi-location-franchise scale

At 1-location-1-corporate-template scale per-account per-template per-bulk-publish primitive is enough. At 200-location-multi-vertical-multi-jurisdiction scale per-corporate-template-no-per-location-context-no-per-language-localization-no-per-vertical-compliance-no-per-jurisdiction-overlay-no-multi-tier-threshold-gating + per-store-hours-OpeningHoursSpecification-aware-blind + per-services-blind + per-products-blind + per-policies-blind.

Per-vertical-compliance-overlay-blind + per-jurisdiction-overlay-blind + per-multi-tier-threshold-gating-blind + per-crisis-flag-blind + per-spam-detection-blind + per-Q-and-A-owner-vs-user-classification-blind + per-Google-rich-results-FAQ-eligibility-blind (per-FAQ-rich-results-deprecation-August-2023-effect-blind).

The operator-side architecture above per-vendor-template primitive is canonical-multi-GBP-Q-and-A-API-substrate + per-owner-vs-user-classification + per-location-context-aware-RAG-drafting + per-multi-LLM-drafting + per-vertical-jurisdiction-overlay + per-spam-crisis-detection + per-multi-tier-threshold-gating + per-Google-FAQ-rich-results-deprecation-historical-context.
