Google Posts.

Short updates published directly on a Google Business Profile — an offer, a new service, a seasonal notice.

Why it matters.

They appear on the listing and expire, most of them after a week. The honest assessment is that they help a little and cost little, and they sit far below categories, hours, services and reviews in importance. Do those four properly before spending time here.

How to check it yourself.

Open your listing and see whether the last post has expired. If posting is the only thing being done on the profile while categories and services sit half-filled, the effort is in the wrong place.
