What we publish on your profile
Each week our team publishes one short update on your listing in Google Search and Maps: a few lines of text, usually a photo, and a button such as Call, Book, Order online or Learn more. Post it yourself, or our team does this for you. The step-by-step guide to creating a Google My Business post shows what goes into one.
Most profiles never use them, or post twice and stop. A profile with a fresh post tells a customer the business is open, active and paying attention, before they have read a single review.
1,500 charactersis the most Google allows in a single post. The first line or two is what most people actually read, so that is where we put the point.
How does our team publish your posts?
We plan from your business
Festivals, seasons, new services, batch timings, offers, events: we plan each week's post around what is actually happening at your place.
We write it in your voice
The voice is set per business, so a post for a dental clinic reads calm and clear, and a post for a sports arena reads like the arena.
We add the right button
Call for a clinic, Book for a court or a salon chair, Order online for a cafe. The button is where a post turns into a lead.
We publish, every week
The post goes live on your profile and shows in your loginLaunching this month, so you can see it without opening Google.
Why publish Google posts every week?
A post shows the profile is alive. Hours, categories and photos change rarely; a weekly post is the one part of the listing that says "this week" to someone deciding between you and the place down the road.
At least one post every weekon every profile we run, and many businesses get more, written for that business and no other.
Who are weekly posts for?
Any local business that has something to say: a restaurant's weekend special, a gym's new morning batch, a clinic's Sunday hours, a salon's wedding-season packages, a sports venue's tournament. Businesses that think they have nothing to say usually have the most to gain, because their competitors are not posting either.
Google posts are included in Single Business price. Fresh photos for the profile itself are a separate monthly job: see photo management.
Frequently asked questions
What does GMB stand for?
Google My Business, the old name for what Google now calls a Google Business Profile. A GMB post and a Google Business Profile post are the same thing: a short update that shows on your listing in Search and Maps. Our team writes and publishes one for you every week. See all GBP services.
What is GMB and how does it work?
It is the free listing Google shows for a local business on Search and Maps: name, hours, photos, reviews, posts and buttons to call or get directions. Google fills it from what the business adds and what customers contribute. Our team keeps your side of it complete and active. Read if it is free.
How do I get leads from GMB posts?
Give people a reason and a button. A post with a clear offer and a Call, Book or Order button turns a profile view into an enquiry. Our team writes those posts every week, and the weekly report shows the calls and direction requests your profile brought in. See the weekly report.
How often do you publish GMB posts?
Every week, for every location you have with us. A regular rhythm keeps the profile looking alive, and it means customers who open it always see something recent. Nothing is left for you to schedule or remember. See posts and photos answers.
Do I have to write or approve each GMB post?
No. Our team writes and publishes each post in the brand voice we set up with you, so you never have to write or sign off anything. The posts go onto your profile every week, whether or not you have time to think about it. See the full service.
Are GMB posts included in the price?
Yes. Weekly posts are part of the managed service, together with review replies, photos, profile upkeep, rank checks and the weekly report. India: ₹2,499* per location per month. Europe: €49 per location per month + VAT where applicable. Rest of the world: $49 per location per month. There is nothing extra to pay for posting, whatever the post is about. See pricing.
How do I add a post in GMB?
Posts are added from the Google profile by the owner or a manager. At MapBoost you do not need to do it: you add us as a manager once, and our team creates and publishes each weekly post for you. Read about access and safety.
What do your GMB posts talk about?
Whatever is happening at your business: an offer, an event, a festival, a new service or changed batch timings. We plan each week's post around your business, add a photo and pick a button such as Call, Book or Order online. See posts and photos answers.
Are there guidelines for what a GMB post can say?
Yes. Google has content policies for posts, so spam, misleading offers and restricted content are not allowed. Our team writes every post to those rules and keeps the text short and clear, with the main point in the first line. Read our trust and safety answers.
Where can customers see my Google posts?
On your Google Business Profile, in Search and in Maps, when someone looks up your business. The post carries a few lines of text, usually a photo and a button. Our weekly report shows how people interacted with your profile. See the weekly report.
Do GMB posts help me rank higher?
Posts keep a profile fresh and give customers a reason to call or visit, but nobody can honestly promise a position from posts alone. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence. Our team checks your rank every week and reports what moved. See how rank checks work.
How do I check my GMB ranking?
Our team does it for you. We check your rank every week across your whole area against nearby competitors, act on what we see, and report it. We cannot promise a position, but you see the direction. Read about rank tracking.
Do you also post on Facebook or Instagram?
No. We do not run social media accounts. Our team publishes only on your Google Business Profile, where customers searching nearby see you. Posts there are written to suit that audience, with a button leading to a call, booking or order. See what we do not do.
