How to Post to Google My Business through Shoptoit

Our Auto Posting feature ensures you’re always telling Google they can trust you

Google has made one thing clear - businesses who actively update and maintain their Google My Business listings will be rewarded. Posting on Google My Business is one of the top things you can do to tell Google your business is real and trustworthy.

The down-side is, each post you publish to Google My Business expires after 7 days - meaning you must remember to login every week to re-post, or add new content.

Our auto-posting feature lets you post directly to your GMB listing - and lets you schedule to re-post every 7 days. Meaning you simply need to add your post once, and it will be re-posted to Google every week automatically.

*In order to post to your Google my Business account through the Shoptoit interface You must have set up Google my Business via the Integrations page. See instructions for doing this

In your shoptoit dashboard, use the left navigation to go to Business Content -> Posts

Once you choose create a new post, you will be displayed required and optional fields.
