GHL Customer Care flags the profile as “Action Required”; reconnect and reschedule to publish. **Q: Will edits sync to Google instantly?** Yes. Updating a scheduled post before its publish time overwrites the draft; editing after publication sends an immediate update to Google within a few seconds. **Q: Does AI Assist cost extra?** AI credits follow your account’s global AI usage. No separate fee is charged for GBP posts. **Q: Are rate limits shared across profiles?** Yes Google’s limit of 100 posts per 24 hours applies per user token, so large agencies should stagger schedules. --- ### **Related Articles** - [Social Posting Guidelines: Text, Image & Video Requirements](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/social-planner-content-guidelines-image-video-and-text) - [How to Connect Your Google Business Profile to GHL Customer Care](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/integrations/google-integrations/how-to-integrate-google-business-profile-gbp-with-ghl-customer-care)  - [Google Business Profile & Facebook Integration in Listings](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/reselling-products/online-listings/google-business-profile-and-facebook-integration-with-listings)  - [Add Messaging & Social Channels to Your GBP](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/social-planner/add-messaging-social-channels-to-your-google-business-profile-gbp) - [Social Planner for the GHL Customer Care Mobile App v3.88.1 (and higher)](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/mobile-and-desktop-app/mobile-app/social-planner-for-the-ghl-mobile-app-v3-88-1-and-higher) --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care.
