Posts show on your Google profile on Search and Maps: news, a new class, a holiday change, an offer or an event. A fresh post every week or two tells people, and Google, that the business is active.

  1. Customers → Google posts → New post (also from Social → Posts → Google post).
  2. Choose the kind: Update, Offer (a title, dates, and if you like a voucher code, a link to redeem and terms) or Event (a title, dates and times).
  3. Write the text (up to 1,500 characters), add a photo from your library if you like, and a button: Book (your booking page is filled in), Order online, Buy, Learn more, Sign up or Call now. An offer has Google’s own View offer button.
  4. Pick the locations if you have several. How it looks shows the post beside the form.
  5. Press Post on Google and confirm. Google checks each post, usually within minutes; the list shows Google is checking, Live, or Not accepted by Google.
  • The list shows the posts on Google for the location chosen at the top, newest first, made in doTask or on Google; See on Google opens one, Delete takes it off Google.
  • Google’s rules: no phone numbers in the text, nothing misleading, no offensive or unrelated content; a post that breaks them is not accepted.
  • Owners, admins and anyone with Social turned on post and delete. Google lets doTask post only to a profile that is verified and yours.
