How it works
The generator turns the facts you type into two versions of a post, a short one and a detailed one. You pick one, edit it and publish it yourself.
- Choose the post type: an update, an offer or an event.
- Type your business name, the type of business and the facts, including any dates.
- Pick the language and write the draft. Edit it until every detail is right.
- Copy the text into a new post in your Google Business Profile, add a photo and publish.
What you give and what you get
A Business Profile post puts your news where people already look for you on Google Search and Maps. Google offers three kinds, each with its own fields:
- Update: general news with a description, an optional photo or video, and an optional button such as Book or Call.
- Offer: a promotion with a title and start and end dates. Google adds a View offer button, and you can add a coupon code, a link and terms.
- Event: something on set dates with a title, start and end dates and times. Without times, Google shows it as an all-day event.
Google archives a post after six months unless it has a date range, in which case it follows those dates.
You get two versions of the post in the language you picked: a short one that reads in a glance and a detailed one with every fact you gave. Each is shown the way a post reads on your profile, with a counter against the length limit. You can switch between them, edit either, copy it, or regenerate both from the same facts.
Method and limits
The draft comes from Reach's post drafting service, which follows these rules:
- Use only the facts you typed. It never adds a price, date, phone number, link or claim of its own.
- Never say an offer or event has already happened unless you said so.
- Stay within 1,500 characters, the same limit Reach's post composer uses.
Most rejected posts break one of four rules. The rejection check under the draft looks for each of them as you edit:
- Contact details in the text. Google may reject a post with a phone number, email address or social handle it cannot verify. Put the number on the Call button.
- Hotel offers. Hotels can't post offers or mention discounts at all, so a hotel's festival post should be a greeting or an update.
- Restricted products. Alcohol, tobacco, gambling, medicines and similar products are limited on Google Maps, even for a licensed shop.
- Shouting. Long runs of capitals and “!!!” read as spam to customers, even when Google lets them through.
To keep the tool free, use is limited per day for each visitor, and the tool pauses for everyone if a day's total is reached. Each run writes both versions and counts as one use, and so does each regenerate.

Privacy
What you type is sent to the drafting model once to write the post and is not stored by Reach. The draft lives in this page until you close it.
To enforce the daily limits, Reach keeps a counter keyed by a one-way hash of your network address and of a random device cookie. The counters hold none of your text and expire on their own.

Questions
- Is the Google Business Profile Post Generator free?
- Yes, with no sign-up. Use is limited per day to keep it free for everyone; if you reach the limit, the page tells you and you can come back the next day or sign in to Reach.
- Does this tool publish the post to my Business Profile?
- No. It writes a draft for you to copy. To publish, create a post in your Google Business Profile and paste the text, or connect your profile to Reach to publish and schedule from there.
- How long can a Google Business Profile post be?
- The writer keeps drafts within 1,500 characters, the same limit Reach's post composer uses, and the counter under the draft shows how close you are. Shorter posts are easier to read on a phone.
- Which post type should I use?
- Use an offer for a deal with dates, an event for something that happens at a set time, and an update for everything else, such as new services, hours or recent work.
- Can I write posts in languages other than English?
- Yes. Pick the post language before you write the draft. Your business name stays exactly as you typed it.
- Will the draft make up details about my business?
- It is instructed to use only the facts you type. Still, read every draft before you publish it: you are the one who knows whether each detail is right.
- Can it write a Diwali or Eid post in Hindi or another language?
- Yes. Pick the festival under Festival post, add your offer or special hours, and choose the post language. The draft is written in that language's own script, with your business name kept as you typed it.
