How to post to multiple Google My Business (GMB) locations at once

At this time, Google My Business, or GMB for short, only allows you to create posts for one location at a time. This can be quite annoying if you manage multiple Google My Business locations and want to share the same post over those multiple locations.

Yes, you could always manually copy and paste your post across all your locations, but that would be a frustrating waste of time.

Solution:

You can post to multiple Google My Business locations at the same time with one click using OneUp (and yes, even if you have hundreds or thousands of GMB locations).

The best part: OneUp allows you to post UNLIMITED locations for a fixed price 🤓

How to post to multiple Google locations at once

  1. Connect your Google Business locations to OneUp
  2. Click “Create a post”
  3. Select which locations you want to post to
  4. Create your post
  5. Add your CTA button
  6. Choose whether you want it to post once or repeat
  7. Post it now or schedule it for the future

Here are those steps with screenshots:

Using OneUp, first choose which Google My Business locations you want to post to. You can choose some or all of your locations; you just click to select which locations you want to post to:

Post to multiple GMB locations at the same time

NOTE: OneUp has an awesome Custom Fields feature, where you can insert dynamic info (such as the unique address or unique hours of each location) into the specific post for each Google location.

Then you add your post, with whatever image you would like:

GBP post scheduling tool

Then choose your Google post type (Update, Event, and Offer posts are supported), and choose your CTA button:

Schedule Event and Offer Google posts

You can even choose to have your Post’s image added to the Photos section of each Google Business Location.

Then you choose whether you want it to be posted once, or whether you want the post to automatically repeat. For example, this post will repeat every week:

Schedule repeating GMB posts

This allows you to reap the benefits of being active on Google My Business, without the hassle of constantly going back in every week to manually post something once your post expires.

Then to finish up, you choose whether you want it to be posted now, or scheduled for a date in the future.

And once again, the best part is that OneUp allows you to post UNLIMITED Google Business locations for a fixed price 🤓

OneUp makes it easy to post to multiple Google My Business locations at the same time.

In addition to Google My Business, OneUp supports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Threads, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.

How to add Facebook Stories to your Business page

This post goes over how to add a Facebook Story to your Facebook Business page from a computer.


Facebook Stories are becoming increasingly popular, with Facebook doing their best to push Stories by putting them at the very top of everyone’s News Feed.

To take advantage of this newer channel, many businesses are looking to publish Facebook Stories to their Facebook Business page.

How to add Facebook Stories to your Business page

To add a Facebook Story to your Business page, it is quite simple.

1. If you are on a computer, simply click the blue “+” next to your businesses main profile picture.

2. Next, create your Facebook Story. At the bottom of this popup box, you will see the options to post this to “Your Page’s Story” and “News Feed” already checked. If you do not want this Facebook Story also published as a normal post on your page, uncheck “News Feed”.

3. Click Share Now.

That’s it. Once posted, your page’s Facebook Story will be public for 24 hours, and will be shown above the News Feed to your followers.


Need a way to schedule and automate your social media posts?

OneUp is a social media scheduling tool that allows you to schedule and automate your posts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Threads, Google My Business, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

And YES, OneUp allows you to schedule Facebook Stories!

Here are some of the features of OneUp:

Posting to multiple pages – For people who are posting to multiple pages or more than one social network at a time, OneUp makes it easy to post to FB Pages and Groups, LinkedIn profiles and pages, and Twitter accounts, Pinterest, Google My Business, and Instagram all at once.

Repeating post – OneUp gives you the option to repeat your posts automatically. This allows you to resurface old posts that otherwise would have never been seen again. Also for anyone that has a Facebook Group with daily themes that repeat every week (such as “Make it happen Monday”), OneUp makes it easy to entirely automate this.

RSS feed automation – If there are any blogs, publications, podcasts, or YouTube channels that put out good content consistently, you can add the RSS feed links in OneUp, then whenever new content is posted from those places, it is automatically shared to the pages you select.

Chrome Extension – Using the OneUp Chrome extension, you can easily schedule many images at once from any website, such as sunsets for example. You can choose which images from the website you want to post to social media, bulk update or individually update the descriptions and links for each post, then schedule them to be posted with a set interval (such as every 60 minutes), or choose custom dates and times for all of them.

Customizable UTM parameters – OneUp lets you customize UTM parameters so you can keep track of how your links are performing in Google Analytics.

Link Shortening – Connect your Bitly account and OneUp will automatically shorten any links and allow you to track clicks through Bitly.

How to post to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time

IMPORTANT NOTE: You can only schedule posts to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time if you are the Admin of EVERY SINGLE one of those Facebook Groups.

So you are looking to post to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time.

The first question is, are you trying to post to multiple Facebook Groups that you are only a member of?

Or are you trying to post to multiple Facebook Groups that you are the Admin of?

Posting to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time that you have joined and are only a member

If you are trying to post to multiple Facebook Groups where you are NOT the Admin, but are just a member, there is no Facebook-approved tool to do this.

Any tools that say they support this are violating Facebook’s terms of service, and will most likely result in your account getting temporarily or permanently banned.

I would recommend either posting manually in the Facebook Groups yourself, or hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) to do this for you.

Posting to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time that you ARE the Admin of

OneUp is a Facebook-approved social media scheduling tool that allows you to schedule posts to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time (in addition to Facebook Pages, and other social networks).

HOWEVER, to use OneUp with a Facebook group, you MUST be one of the Group Admins. Facebook does not allow scheduling tools to post to Groups unless you are an Admin.

Using OneUp, you can connect your Facebook Groups and Pages by clicking the Facebook Connect button, then click “Create a post”:

Post to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time

First select which of your Facebook Groups (and/or Facebook Pages) you want to post to:

Post to Facebook Group and Facebook Page at the same time
You can post to multiple social accounts at the same time

If you select a Facebook Group, you will see the option to post to the Facebook Group as either your personal profile, or post to the Facebook Group as your Facebook Page. (Note: Your Facebook Page MUST be an Admin of your Facebook Group to post as your Page to the Group)

Schedule post to Facebook Group as your Facebook Page

Next, create your post:

Schedule post to Facebook Group and Facebook Page at the same time

You can add image(s), a video, or GIF to your post. OneUp has both a Canva integration and an Unsplash integration, so you can find and create images for your post, right inside of OneUp 🤓

You can set your post to publish once, or have it automatically repeat at whatever interval you choose:

automatically repeat Facebook Group posts
This post will automatically repeat every 3 weeks

Once done, you can either post it now to your multiple Facebook Groups (and Facebook Pages), schedule the post for the future, or save it to your Drafts folder.

What is the best Google post image size? (2023 update)

This post goes over what the best image size is for Google My Business (GMB) posts.

Join the Local SEO Community (free to join, over 2,800 members) for in-depth discussions on all things local SEO and Google My Business.


Google My Business posts are a great way to stand out from the competition and help your SEO.

However, many images in GMB posts seem to get cut off when viewed on the search results page.

What Google My Business post image size is best?

If you are posting from the GMB dashboard, the best image size for Google My Business (GMB) posts is 1200 x 900 pixels, a 4:3 image ratio.

However, you can scroll down to learn how to get images with different dimensions to post to Google My Business without getting cut off.

Here is a 1200 x 900 image:

And here is what that image looks like in a Google My Business post at the bottom of the GMB listing:

You’ll notice that the bottom part of the image gets cut off in the GMB post:

GBP ideal image size

However, when the post is clicked on and the image is expanded, it shows the full image:

best size for GBP images

Keep this in mind when you are publishing Google My Business posts that might have important parts of the image in the lower section of the image.


I have a lot of images that aren’t 1200 x 900 pixels though?

If you publish your Google My Business posts from OneUp, the GMB post scheduling tool, most image sizes publish completely. (more on OneUp at the bottom)

For example, here is a 1200 x 628 image:

If you post it from the GMB dashboard, it gets cut off significantly:

GBP post image size

However, if you publish the same image through OneUp, the full image posts perfectly:

Google posts image size

Let’s take another example with this 1080 x 1080 image:

ideal image size for GMB posts

When you post this image directly from Google My Business, it cuts off a significant portion from both the top and bottom of the image:

However, that same image posts fully when published through OneUp:

How to schedule TikTok posts more than 10 days in advance

This post goes over how to schedule and publish posts on TikTok with OneUp. And yes, they post DIRECTLY (no need for mobile notifications).

TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social networks. TikTok is a social media platform where people can watch, create, and share video content in real-time.

However, in the TikTok mobile app, there is no way to schedule a TikTok post for the future. You can only post your TikTok videos at that moment.

If you want to schedule TikTok posts for the future, you have 2 options:

  1. Use TikTok’s scheduler on a web browser (not in the mobile app, and it only works with Business or Creator accounts), OR
  2. Use a 3rd-party TikTok scheduling tool (works with all account types)

If you use TikTok’s scheduler on a web browser, you will see the “Publish at a later date” option while creating your post, but ONLY for Creator and Business accounts (not Personal accounts):

Schedule TikTok posts for the future

However, TikTok’s scheduler only allows you to schedule videos up to 10 days in advance. If you try to choose a date more than 10 days into the future, it shows those dates as grayed out:

Schedule TikTok videos more than 10 days in advance

If you want to schedule TikTok videos as far into the future as you’d like, you can schedule TikTok videos using a 3rd-party TikTok scheduling tool like OneUp.

Using OneUp, you can schedule TikTok posts, and it works with all TikTok account types (Personal, Creator, or Business accounts).

  3. Select which TikTok account you want to post to (if you have more than 1 TikTok account connected)
