So keep reading to learn more about the top 5 things that Google My Business Posts do for your business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What do Posts do on Google My Business?: Ask The Gorilla #36\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/623ouWs_Jyk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Top 5 Ways Google My Business Posts Do For Your Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After all these years maintaining my crown as King of the Jungle, I know a thing or two about Google My Business Posts and all the value they add to your business. While there are many more benefits to using GMB Posts, here are my top 5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Let you Share News<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Google My Business Posts to share news related to your business is an excellent way to get the word out. Instead of hooting and hollering from the tops of the trees in the hopes of your customers hearing your message, GMB Posts allow you to share your most important news front-and-center. That way, everyone who visits your profile can stay up-to-date with your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Gives You Free Advertising Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/cateory\/google-ads\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Google Ads<\/a> is one of the top paid advertising methods out there. But why wouldn\u2019t you take advantage of the <em>free <\/em>advertising space provided by Google My Business Posts? If you have new specials, promos, or campaigns that you want to push, share them on a Post! You can include eye-catching images, great content, and call to actions so that your Post works like an advertisement for your business that you <em>don\u2019t <\/em>need to pay for. \ud83d\udcb8&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sets You Apart from the Competition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Though many business owners update their GMB profiles, the number of organizations that actually make <em>full <\/em>use of Google My Business\u2019s Post feature is much smaller. If you commit to posting to your GMB profile regularly to share news and other great information, you\u2019ll set your business apart from the competition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Become More Discoverable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully optimized profiles, including Posts, are more likely to get engagement on Google My Business. As Google gathers more data about your profile, your business is more likely to be discovered and rank highly in related searches. It\u2019s important to keep in mind that a Post alone won\u2019t boost your rankings, but a well-optimized profile that is getting engagement, new reviews, and more traffic will. So make the most out of all of Google My Business\u2019s features \u2013 including Posts!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Lets You Show Off Your Business<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final reason I love Google My Business Posts is their ability to showcase your business and show off the best things about your services! By creating great images and content, you\u2019re essentially reinforcing your brand and boosting the credibility of your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to Learn More About GMB Posts?
