What is the GBP Post Scheduler?

The GBP Post Scheduler is a Social Planner-powered tool inside the GBP Optimization workspace that lets agencies and businesses create, AI-generate, schedule, and bulk-publish Google Posts (Updates, Offers, Events) for one or many locations—all without leaving GHL Customer Care. By automating post cadence and centralizing management, you keep every Google listing fresh, relevant, and engaging.

Key Benefits of GBP Post Scheduler

GHL Customer Care’s scheduler helps you:
  • Save time with true “set-it-and-forget-it” publishing.
  • Maintain brand consistency by posting to multiple GBPs at once.
  • Overcome writer’s block—AI creates post copy and images on demand.
  • Improve local SEO; frequent, high-quality posts signal relevance to Google.
  • Track performance and make real-time edits from one dashboard.

Using AI Assist for Content & Images

AI Assist analyzes your niche and location, then generates keyword-rich text (up to 1,500 characters) and royalty-free imagery sized perfectly for Google (minimum 250 × 250 px, ≤5 MB). Edit the suggestions or accept them in one click for a polished post every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many characters can a GBP post include?
Up to 1,500 characters per Google post.
Q: Can I schedule video posts to GBP?
Google currently allows only images (JPEG/PNG ≤5 MB); video is not supported through the API.
Q: Does bulk posting violate Google’s duplication policy?
Identical content across locations is permitted, but we recommend location-specific tweaks to avoid perceived spam and to maximize local relevance.
Q: What happens if a connected GBP token expires?
The post will fail. 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.
