Why publish Google posts?

Google posts are short updates that appear directly on your listing. They show Google that your business is active and give customers a reason to choose you.

The post types

  • What's new: announce a new service, product or project
  • Offers: limited-time promotions with a start and end date
  • Events: open days, workshops, local events
  • Updates: changes to opening hours, exceptional closures

The right frequency

One post per week is a good rhythm. Google posts expire after seven days, so consistency is essential to maintain a constant presence.

How to write a good post

  • Be concrete and direct (150-300 characters)
  • Include a call to action (Call, Learn more, Book)
  • Add a quality photo
  • Work your keywords in naturally
