# Google Business Profile

PostQueen will post updates, events and offers with a photo to the Business Profile locations you manage, and add a button such as Book or Call to updates and events.

## Connect Google Business Profile

<Note>
  Google Business Profile is listed in **Add Channel** as **Google My Business**, but it cannot be connected on PostQueen yet. The location has to be verified on Google: unverified locations do not accept posts.
</Note>

## Post settings

Each Google Business Profile post in the composer has these settings:

* **Post Type**: **Standard Update**, **Event** or **Offer**. It starts on **Standard Update**.
* **Call to Action**: **None**, **Book**, **Order Online**, **Shop**, **Learn More**, **Sign Up** or **Call**. Every button except **Call** needs a **Call to Action URL**, and is left off the post without one. **Call** dials the phone number verified on the profile. Offers have no button choice: Google shows its own.
* For an event, under **Event Details**: **Event Title**, **Start Date** and **End Date**, all required, then **Start Time (optional)** and **End Time (optional)**.
* For an offer, under **Offer Details**: **Title**, **Start Date** and **End Date**, all required, then **Coupon Code (optional)**, **Redeem Online URL (optional)** and **Terms & Conditions (optional)**.

The field names and values for the API are on [Google Business Profile posting settings](/public-api/providers/gmb).

## Good to know

* Before a post is scheduled, PostQueen checks that it has at most one photo and no video, and that an event or an offer has its title and both dates.
* Events without start and end times, and every offer, are sent without times, and Google may refuse them.
* Photo size and format are Google's rules, and PostQueen does not check them first: JPG or PNG, from 10 KB to 5 MB.
* Every post is sent to Google marked as English, whatever language it is written in.
* The link to a published post is its Google Search link when Google returns one, and the location's Business Profile page otherwise.
* Google may refuse a post with a phone number in the text that it cannot match to the business, and some listings cannot publish posts at all.
