The photo you use will be crucial to the success of your Google post and your Google business profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your photos for the Google posts:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Must not only be relevant but also catch the eye of the Google user<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Must be efficient enough that one image does the job without cluttering the post with too many photos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fits the size requirement as per Google&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tells the customers everything they need about the product&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-follow-google-guidelines\">Follow Google guidelines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than having your post taken down for failing to adhere to Google\u2019s terms of service and its guidelines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/google-reviews\/\">Google reviews<\/a> all content before it goes live on your profile. Make sure your post meets all the guidelines and doesn\u2019t include inappropriate or offensive content right from the outset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Know more about Google\u2019s guidelines <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/7213077\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-the-right-ctas\">Use the right CTAs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The call to action button is one of the most important parts of your Google posts. It determines how the customer can continue interacting with your business. A wrong CTA means customers visit the wrong link, and your business will lose an important lead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses must choose the suitable CTA from \u2018Learn more,\u2019 \u2018Visit our website,\u2019 \u2018Subscribe to our newsletter,\u2019 \u2018Visit our social media pages, and so on.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out an example of an optimal CTA below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, Kama Bistro is advertising its services to cater events for up to 55 people. The CTA link takes the user straight to booking a space. It cuts out the need for any unnecessary navigations and allows the conversion to happen relatively instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"Image showing the role of CTA in Google Posts\" class=\"wp-image-49120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8-810x543.jpg 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8-1140x764.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/3-8.jpg 1146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-optimize-for-seo\">Optimize for SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating engaging and compelling Google posts is one thing, but ensuring people can see your Google business posts sometimes takes precedence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where SEO comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Google Posts must use the correct local keywords, include information about your store location, and be relevant to the local search query.
