Google’s Begging You to Post on Your GBP

Google really wants you to post on your Google Business Profile. Like, really really. So much so that they just redesigned the whole posting experience to make it easier, smoother, and frankly, harder to ignore. Gone is the clunky “Add Update” button – replaced with a sleek new “Posts” hub where you can create updates, offers, and events without needing a PhD in Google-ology. This new interface also allows you to easily manage your existing posts if you need to make edits or delete content. This is a clear sign that Google is encouraging businesses to post more on their GBP, so if you haven’t been posting regularly, it’s time to start. Before you start posting everything you can think of, you’ve got to check out our expert tips to make sure your posts are optimized!

GBP is Turning Into Social Media?
Newsletter

GBP is Turning Into Social Media?

Google just dropped a new feature for Google Business Profiles called “What’s Happening”, and spoiler alert: it looks a lot like a social media feed. This section pulls in your posts (from GBP and other social media), offers, and events and puts them front and center so customers can see what’s new at your business. Potential customers will easily be able to see that you have live music tonight and what today’s special is. In other words, Google is handing you free marketing real estate that will bring you more customers... but only if you use it. If your last post was from 2024, it’s officially time to dust things off. The feature is only currently available for restaurants, but we expect it to be rolled out for many other business types.

New GBP Update That Could Stop Suspensions

Google just rolled out a new feature where they notify you via email when an edit to your Google Business Profile gets rejected. So instead of silently swatting down your changes behind the scenes, Google will now tell you when and why your edit didn’t make the cut. This new update applies to edits made to your business name, categories, address, phone number, hours, and more – basically, all the important stuff. You’ll get a handy email explaining which edit was rejected and a chance to appeal the decision.

Google Drops Hints for GMB Optimization

Google has been dropping some not-so-subtle hints lately. In not one, but TWO of their SMB newsletters in the past couple months, they encouraged businesses to upload videos to their Google Business Profile. Translation: Google wants more videos, and if you give them what they want, they’ll probably reward you in rankings and visibility. Google doesn’t highlight features for no reason. When they push something repeatedly, it’s a clear signal that businesses that take action now will have the upper hand over those who wait.

You’re Driving Potential GMB Customers Away

Ever wonder why your Google Business Profile brings in visitors, but they’re not converting into customers? Most of the potential customers your profile attracts are visiting your website on their phones. If your site is slow, hard to read, or frustrating to use on mobile, they’ll bounce—and head straight to a competitor. Your Google Business Profile is the front door to your website, but if your website isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re basically slamming that door in your customers’ faces. Let’s fix that!

The Most Overlooked Section of GMBs

Let’s be honest—would you visit or call a restaurant or store with zero photos on their Google business profile? Probably not. The media section is constantly overlooked by business owners trying to optimize their profile and what’s even worse is that neglecting it will cause potential customers to overlook your business! Photos and videos don’t just make your profile look good; they boost your rankings, increase customer trust, and can directly influence people to choose you over the competition. Plus, Google loves active profiles that consistently upload fresh, optimized media.
