Google developed the posting option within Google Business Profile back in 2016 to allow a business to share offers and events and other valuable information with their audience.  Posting within Google is free and has become more relevant, sometimes even showing up in search engine results pages (SERPs).

Google posts appear in your Google Business Profile when customers search your business name or view your business profile on Google maps.  They can also be shared by you or your customers on various social pages or through messaging.  Google offers a variety of types of posting options.

Types of Google Business Profile Posts:

There are three types of Google Business Profile posts;  offer, what’s new, event.  Multiple posts can be used with no limits on the number of posts published.

•Offer posts let you showcase your current offers on Google. Use Call to action button within the posting feature to send customers to your website to claim offers or learn more links.
