Google Posts are an instant way to post a message to your customers and prospects in your Google Local business listing in Google Search. Here is a message I just posted minutes ago:
See the photo of my team, the message and the learn more button, that is the Google Posts part. I was able to inject that into the Google search results within seconds.
How, go to Google My Business and click on your listings. Then on the left side there is a "Posts" button in the navigation which takes you here:
Then click on the add post and you can fill out a form with a photo, description, a call to action button and even add an event date/time. This is what I wrote:
