What makes a good Google Business post
Posts on a Google Business Profile show up right in your local Search and Maps listing, which means people read them while deciding whether to call, visit or click. Each update post allows up to 1,500 characters, but only the first 75 or so show before a "Read more" cutoff, so your hook does the real work. Standard Update posts expire after about six months unless you add an event or offer date. The detail most people miss: links aren't clickable in the body text, so a clear call-to-action button matters more than any URL you type.
Google Business post tips
- Front-load the offer or news in the first 75 characters, since everything after that hides behind "Read more".
- Add a real button like Call, Book or Order rather than pasting a URL, because body links stay unclickable.
- Skip salesy hype and keyword stuffing; Google can reject posts that read like ads or repeat your business name.
- Update posts vanish after roughly six months, so treat them as fresh signals, not permanent profile copy.

Google Business Caption Generator — common questions
Latest questions readers ask us about this topic.
What's the character limit for a Google Business post?
You get up to 1,500 characters per update post, but only about the first 75 appear before a "Read more" link. Put your key message and any time-sensitive detail right at the start so it shows without a tap.
Do Google Business posts expire?
Standard "What's new" update posts stop showing after about six months. Event and offer posts follow their start and end dates instead. Plan to repost regularly, since an empty posts section makes a profile look inactive to searchers.
Can I add links to a Google Business post?
Yes, but URLs typed into the body text are not clickable. Use the built-in action button instead, choosing options like Book, Order online, Buy, Learn more or Call now to send people exactly where you want them.

The sub-questions readers ask next — answered, with where to go.
Specificity and tension. A scroll-stopping opener promises a concrete payoff ('the 3-word edit that doubled my reply rate') or opens a loop the reader needs closed — not a vague 'let's talk about engagement'. Front-load it: on most feeds only the first line shows before a cut-off, so the hook has to do its work there. Test several angles for the same post; the winner is rarely the one you'd have guessed.
Style your opening lineMatch the length to the job, then check it against the limit. Instagram captions can run long for storytelling but the hook must land in the first ~125 characters before 'more'; X/Twitter rewards tight, standalone lines; LinkedIn truncates around two lines. TikTok and Reels captions are short by nature. The reliable move is to draft freely, then trim against a live counter so nothing important gets cut.
Check the limit liveFewer, and more relevant, than the old advice. The era of 30 generic tags is over — most platforms now reward a small set (roughly 3–8) that genuinely describe the post, mixing one or two broad tags with several specific, lower-competition ones. Stuffing tags reads as spammy and can suppress reach. Put them where they don't interrupt the read: end of the caption or first comment.
Read the content hubTreat the bio as a one-line pitch, not a résumé. Open with who you help and the outcome they get, add a single proof point, and close with a reason to follow or a clear next step. Keep it skimmable, lead with the words people would search, and reserve any styled text for one emphasised phrase. Links and @mentions stay plain so they stay clickable.
