Google posts types

Before you start creating posts, you should know that there are a few post types you can publish on your Google business profile:

1. Update Posts: Ideal for sharing general updates about your business. This could include announcements of new products, services, promotions, or any other news. You have the option to add photos or videos to these posts to make them more engaging.
2. Event Posts: These are used to promote specific events that your business is hosting, such as workshops, classes, or concerts. Details like the event’s date, time, and location can be included, along with multimedia elements. Customers can interact with these posts by RSVPing or adding the event to their calendars.
3. Offer Posts: Special offers or discounts can be shared through these posts to attract more potential customers. They provide an opportunity to detail the offer, including any expiration date and terms or conditions, and often include a “Redeem” button for customers to claim the offer.
4. Product Posts: This post type is specific for certain categories of businesses and can be utilized to showcase specific products. These posts can include important details like price, availability, and purchasing links. Multiple photos or videos can be added to provide a comprehensive view of the product, and a “Learn more” button can direct customers to your website or online store for further action.

The main difference for the custom post types is that some of them require inputs to fewer field types before publishing.
