About the Google Business Profile Post Checker
Posts on your Google Business Profile let you share updates, offers and events where local customers already look. Each post can be up to 1,500 characters, but only the opening lines show before someone taps to read more. This Google Business Profile post checker previews your text with that cut-off, counts characters against the limit, shows the call-to-action button and flags common policy problems, such as phone numbers in the post text, which Google may reject.
The preview runs in your browser, so drafts stay on your device. Put the most useful detail, like the offer or date, in the first sentence, and use the CTA button for calls or bookings instead of typing your number. Posting regularly keeps your profile fresh for people comparing nearby businesses.
How to use it
- Choose the post type: update, offer or event.
- Write or paste your post text and pick a CTA button.
- Check the character count and the visible preview cut-off.
- Fix any policy hints, then copy the text into your Business Profile.
Frequently asked questions
What is the character limit for a Google Business Profile post?
Google Business Profile posts can be up to 1,500 characters. Only the first part is shown before people expand the post, so lead with the main point, such as the offer, event date or news, and keep supporting details for later lines.
Can I include a phone number in a Business Profile post?
Google's guidelines discourage phone numbers in the post text and posts containing them may be rejected. Use the Call now button instead, which uses the number on your profile. That also keeps the contact route consistent and easy to track.
How often should I post on Google Business Profile?
There is no official requirement. Many businesses post weekly or whenever they have a genuine update, offer or event. Regular, useful posts give people comparing businesses more reasons to choose you. Quality and relevance matter more than frequency. Check your profile insights to see what gets attention.
