How to share a post on Google Business Profile (GBP) Location?
1. Connect your GBP Location
To connect your Location, click on ‘Social profiles’ menu on the left-hand side and click on ‘+ ADD social profiles’ button. A pop-up window with a list of social accounts shall appear. Under the Google Business Profile, you shall see ‘Location ‘ option.
Once you click on that you will be redirected to Google’s page to select your Gmail account that owns the location. Provide RecurPost with the required permissions to add location and schedule posts from RecurPost. No personal data or credentials will be saved.
2. Create a One-off Post
One-off posts are helpful when you want to schedule a single post on multiple accounts. These posts will be shared on your accounts just once. To create a One-off post, click on ‘Share a post’ from the left-side menu and select ‘Create a Post Manually‘.
A pop-up window will appear where you shall be able to add your content. Add description/caption, attach images/video or import media directly from Canva, add hashtags, include emojis, use CTAs and then select the GBP Location that you want to post on.
Once ready, either post immediately or schedule it for a specific date and time.
3. Add Content to Libraries
You can fill up your libraries with content and set a recurring schedule to make all that content go out in a loop on your GBP Location. You shall find all your content libraries on the ‘Library’ page.
When you sign up for free trial, some libraries will be created by default for you. You can edit or delete them or create as many new libraries as you want.
In these libraries, you will find a lot of options to add recurring posts. You can add a single post, add images/videos/text/link posts in bulk, add content through a CSV file, import content from a social account, or set up an RSS feed. Read more…
4. Create a Recurring Schedule
After adding content to your libraries, you need to set a recurring schedule to let the posts go out on your social accounts. To set a recurring schedule, go to the library and then go to the ‘Time Slots’ section. Then click on ‘+ Add recurring time slots’ button.
Now, you can select the frequency at which you want your posts to go out. Choose an option between Daily/Weekly, Monthly or Custom, set the time, and click on the ‘Add time slot’ button.
That’s it. All the posts in your libraries will be posted according to the set schedule(s).
Now let’s see how your GBP Location posts will appear once posted through RecurPost.

Here is how the Image post shall look like.
For Video post, please note that the videos posted to ‘Google Business Profile’ location from RecurPost will appear on your Google Maps section.
They won’t show up under your “Google Business Profile” location or settings, because Google does not show the video there, hence you need to go to ‘Google Maps’ to see them as per Google.
