30 AI Prompts for Google Business Profile Posts (Copy-Paste)

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local customer sees, on Google Search and Google Maps, before they ever reach your website. Posts let you put fresh news, offers and events right on that profile. These 30 copy-paste AI prompts work in the free versions of ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot and turn a few notes into a month of posts in about 15 minutes.

Short answer: pick the right post type (an update for news, an offer for a promotion, an event for something with a date), give the AI the real facts, and ask for a short post that leads with the benefit and ends with one clear action. Add your own photo, choose a call-to-action button, and check every price, date and claim before you publish.

Replace anything in [brackets] with your details. Never paste customers' names, phone numbers or private details into AI tools, and only feature a customer in a post or photo with their permission.

The three post types at a glance

Every post type can include a photo, and a short, specific post usually reads better on a phone than a long one. Google lets the post text run up to 1,500 characters, but most good posts are far shorter.

Update posts

1. Write a Google Business Profile update for my [business type] in [town/suburb] announcing [news]. Lead with what it means for the customer, keep it under 100 words, plain English, and end with one clear next step: [Book/Call/Learn more].

2. Turn this list of my services into 5 separate Google Business Profile update posts, one service each. For each, explain the problem it solves in one sentence, add one detail from my notes, and end with a call to action. Don't invent prices or features: [paste services and notes].

3. Write a "tip of the week" Google Business Profile post for customers of a [business type]. Practical, useful even if they never buy from us, under 80 words, with a soft call to action at the end. Topic: [topic].

4. Write a behind-the-scenes update introducing [team member first name], our [role]. Use only these facts they've approved: [facts]. Warm, under 80 words.

5. Write a seasonal reminder post for [season/holiday] for a [business type] in [area]: what customers should book or prepare now, and our [opening hours/booking cut-off]. Under 90 words.

6. Write an update announcing our new or changed opening hours: [hours], starting [date]. Clear, friendly, under 50 words, and remind people to check our profile before visiting.

7. Write a Google Business Profile post about a recent job or project, with the customer's permission: [what we did, where (suburb only), result]. Focus on the problem we solved, no exaggeration, under 100 words.

8. Turn this happy customer comment into a short update post, quoting it word for word and naming them only as [first name or "a customer in suburb"], with permission: [paste comment]. Add one line on what we did and a call to action.

Offer posts

1. Write a Google Business Profile offer for [offer, e.g. 15% off first service] valid from [start date] to [end date]. Give me: a title under 50 characters, a description under 80 words, and plain-English terms covering who qualifies, exclusions and how to redeem.

2. Give me 10 short offer titles for [offer] at my [business type]. Mix benefit-led, urgency (without false scarcity) and seasonal angles. Under 50 characters each.

3. Rewrite this offer so it's clear and honest. Remove anything that could mislead, such as "lowest prices in town" or a "limited time" claim with no end date, and suggest factual replacements: [paste offer].

4. Write a first-time customer offer post for a [business type] that tells a new customer exactly what to expect on the first visit, plus the offer [offer] and the terms. Under 100 words.

5. Write a quiet-day offer post to fill [weekday/time slot] with [offer], valid [dates]. Friendly, not desperate, under 70 words.

6. Write a bundle offer post for [product/service A + B] at [price] valid until [date]. Explain the saving in plain numbers using only these prices: [prices].

Event posts

1. Write a Google Business Profile event post for [event title] on [date] from [start time] to [end time] at [venue or "our shop in suburb"]. Include what happens, who it's for, the price [price/free], and how to book. Under 100 words.

2. Give me 8 event title options for [event], each under 50 characters, clear enough that someone scrolling Google Maps knows what it is.

3. Write a reminder update to post [3] days before [event], with the key details and a last call to book. Under 60 words.

4. Write an event post for a free workshop or demo on [topic] at my [business type]. Make it educational first, with no hard sell, and list 3 things people will learn.

5. After our event, write a short thank-you update from these notes: [what happened, roughly how many came if known, photos we have]. Under 70 words, with a line about the next event if one is planned: [details].

Ready-made prompts by industry

2. Turn this Instagram or Facebook caption into a Google Business Profile post. Remove hashtags and emojis, make it clear for someone searching on Google, and keep it under 100 words: [paste caption].

3. Rewrite this post so it naturally mentions what we do and where we are, the way a customer would search for it (for example "[service] in [suburb]"), without keyword stuffing: [paste post].

4. Check this Google Business Profile post before I publish it. Flag any price, date, claim or detail that isn't in my notes, any misleading wording, anything that sounds like a guarantee, and suggest a photo and the best button: [paste post and notes].

Tips for better posts

• Give the AI facts, not just a topic: prices, dates, times, service areas and what makes you different. The fewer gaps, the less it guesses.
• Use your own photos: a real photo of your team, work or premises beats a stock image. Only show customers who have agreed.
• One post, one action: pick a single button (Book, Call now, Learn more) and make the text lead to it.
• Post regularly: a simple weekly rhythm keeps your profile looking active. Prompt 27 plans a month in one go.
• Reuse what works: repurpose your best social posts (prompt 28) and save your favourite prompts in your phone's notes app.
• Reply to reviews too: posts and review replies work together. See our AI prompts for customer reviews.

Frequently asked questions

What are the types of Google Business Profile posts?

The main types are updates (general news, tips and announcements), offers (promotions with start and end dates and optional coupon codes, redemption links and terms) and events (activities with a title, dates and times). Each can include a photo, and updates and events can include a call-to-action button.

Can ChatGPT write Google Business Profile posts?

Yes. ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot can draft a clear post from a few notes in seconds and give you several versions to choose from. You still need to check every price, date and claim, add your own photo, and pick the right button before you publish.

How long should a Google Business Profile post be?

Google allows up to 1,500 characters, but short posts usually work best on a phone. Aim for roughly 50 to 100 words that lead with the benefit and end with one clear action.

How often should I post on my Google Business Profile?

There's no official rule. Once a week is a realistic rhythm for most small businesses and keeps your profile looking current. Use prompt 27 to plan a month of posts in one sitting.

Do Google Business Profile posts help local SEO?

Google doesn't publish exactly how posts affect local rankings, so treat them as a way to keep your profile fresh and give searchers a reason to call, book or visit rather than as a ranking trick. Accurate business information, good photos and genuine reviews matter too.

Is it safe to use AI for my Google Business Profile?

Yes, as long as you only paste business information, not customers' personal details, and you review every post before publishing. Make sure offers are real and honoured, and follow Google's content policies for posts.
