Google Business Profile Posts for Local Services
Create Google Business Profile posts — formerly Google My Business posts — from finished job photos. Built for pressure washing, auto detailing, cleaning, and other local service businesses.
What Google Business Profile posts are — and what they're not
Google Business Profile posts (previously called Google My Business posts) are updates you publish directly on your business profile — visible to anyone who finds you on Google Search or Maps.
Brago generates the post image and caption. You upload both in your Google Business Profile dashboard. Brago does not post directly — your account stays under your control.
What GBP posts do:
- Keep your profile active with recent work
- Show potential customers real job results
- Display your service area, reviews, and license
- Give people a reason to choose you over competitors with no posts
What Brago does NOT promise:
- Guaranteed ranking improvements
- Specific lead or review volume
- Direct posting or scheduling to your account
What Brago includes in every GBP post
Before/after job photo
The visual proof. One clear before and one clear after from the same job.
Short headline
18–32 characters. Specific to the job — not generic slogans.
Service area
'Serving Austin, TX' — not a full street address.
License & Insurance
One line is enough. Builds trust without taking over the visual.
Phone number (optional)
Google posts can include your number. Brago shows it at readable size, never crammed.
Review count (optional)
If you have Google reviews, add the number. Brago shows it as '★★★★★ 247 Google reviews'.
Google Business Profile posts vs. Facebook and Instagram
Each channel is a different audience with a different expectation. Brago formats the same before/after job photos differently depending on where you're posting.
Google Business Profile
Tone: Professional and informative
Best for: Showing your business is active, licensed, and serving your area
Include: Phone number, service area, review count, license/insurance
Avoid: Casual emojis, aggressive promotions, invented review counts
Facebook / Nextdoor
Tone: Conversational and local
Best for: Neighborhood word-of-mouth, sharing recent local jobs
Include: Light CTA ('message us'), service area, natural language caption
Avoid: Formal tone, hard-sell language, too much contact info upfront
Tone: Visual portfolio
Best for: Building a consistent body of work over time
Include: Visual-first layout, short caption, minimal phone number
Avoid: Long captions, too many trust badges competing with the photo
