How to bulk upload images to the Photos section of Google My Business

Using OneUp, connect your Google My Business accounts:

Bulk add image to the Photos section of Google Business Profiles

3. On the Bulk Upload page, you have a few options. We’ll choose”Upload multiple images”, and then upload your images from either your computer, Google Drive, Dropbox, or other sources. You can upload up to 50 images at a time:

Add many images to Photos section of Google My Business — You can upload up to 50 images at a time

4. Once your images have been uploaded, you will select which Google Business location(s) you want to add your image to (you can select multiple at the same time).

If you ONLY want this image added to the Photos section of the Google Business Profile, then check these 2 boxes:

Add multiple images to Photos section of GBP

However, if you leave the 2nd box unchecked, your image will ALSO be added as a Google post as well (which some people prefer).

If you want your image added as a Google post as well, you can choose a CTA button and type what you want in your Google post in the text box.

NOTE: You can choose your checkbox settings for ALL your uploaded images at once by clicking on this blue bar at the top 👇

5. Then you just need to click “Bulk update date and time” to choose how quicly the images will be added to the Photos section of GMB (for example, if you had 30 images, you could choose to add one image per day for 30 straight days to the Photos section).

6. Then click “Submit”, and that’s it!

Now you can bulk upload a photo to multiple Google My Business locations at the same time, without having to deal with spreadsheets and CSV uploads.

How to schedule posts to multiple Facebook Location Pages at once

Using OneUp, you can schedule posts to multiple Facebook Location Pages at the same time.

Yes, we are talking specifically about Facebook Location Pages, as opposed to regular Facebook Pages 🤓

Facebook Location Pages

Facebook Location Pages have one single “parent” Facebook Page, of which all of the Location Pages are considered “child” Location Pages beneath the “parent” page:

For example, in the image above, the top result is the main Starbucks Facebook Page (aka “parent” page), and all the other results are Location Pages (aka “child” pages).

How to schedule posts to Facebook Location Pages

Using OneUp, you can schedule posts to both regular Facebook Pages (including “parent” pages), as well as Facebook Location Pages.

To connect your Facebook Location Pages to OneUp, click the Facebook “Connect” button on the Accounts page of OneUp:

It will then prompt you to connect your Facebook Pages and your Facebook Locations Pages.

NOTE: If you are trying to connect Facebook Location Pages, you must add your personal Facebook profile (and not just your parent Facebook Page) as the Admin of all the Location Pages. After doing so, you will be able to connect all of the Location Pages to your OneUp account.

Once all your Facebook Location Pages are connected, click “Create a post“:

Schedule posts to multiple Facebook Location Pages

Then select which of your Facebook Locations Pages (and regular Facebook Pages) you want to post to, and create your post:

You can add alt text to your image if you’d like.

Then add a first comment if you want, and choose whether the post should automatically repeat or not:

Schedule Facebook post with first comment

Then either Post Now, schedule your post for the future, or save it as a Draft.

That is how you schedule posts to multiple Facebook Locations Pages at the same time with OneUp 😊

How to use ChatGPT without an account

When you go to https://chat.openai.com/ it prompts you to create an account before you can use ChatGPT:

If you try to sign up for an OpenAI account, it tells you that you phone verification is required for signup:

But what if you dont have a phone, or dont want to verify with your phone number for whatever reason?

Here is how to use ChatGPT without signing up for an OpenAI account

Install the Merlin Chrome Extension on your web browser.

You dont need to sign into OpenAI or ChatGPT to use Merlin, but you do have to sign in to Merlin via your Google account to use the extension. However, phone verification is NOT required with Merlin 🤓

Merlin can be used for almost anything, be it generating responses to chats or writing emails.

Here is a free hot potato timer app – Random Timer Generator

You might be playing hot potato or some other game where you need a random countdown timer where you can specify an interval, such as between 5 seconds and 60 seconds.

Then click start, and have the random interval timer go off at any point in the next 5 to 60 seconds.

This app is a great hot potato timer or random countdown timer:

iPhone app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/random-timer-generator/id1621894479

Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oneupp.randomcountdowntimer

Web version: randomtimergenerator.com

I made the app, so if you have any feedback or suggestions on how the Random Timer Generator app could be improved, feel free to email me directly at daviswbaer@gmail.com 😊

You can use this hot potato timer to play hot potato, or as a random countdown timer for other party games such as Catch Phrase or Taboo, where whoever is holding the card or game when the timer goes off loses. It works great when you need something to alarm randomly, or need a random timer generator, a random interval beep timer, random timer bomb random dynamite timer, a random interval timer app, or random beep generator.

It’s also great as a random timer for studying and learning while using the Gap Effect or Spacing Effect that Andrew Huberman has popularized. You can even set a fixed break period timer between random timers.

I hope this app solves your hot potato timer or random countdown timer generator needs.

Does Zapier support posting to Google My Business?

Unfortunately Zapier does not support posting to Google My Business. However, you can auto-post to Google My Business using OneUp.

Many people are looking to post to their Facebook page (or other social media account), and then have that post automatically go to Google My Business posts as well.

Here is how to do it with OneUp.

First go to OneUp and connect the social media accounts you want to post TO (the Google Business Profile account in this scenario)

OneUp supports Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, and Google My Business.

Next, go to “Auto-post FROM social network or RSS feeds”:

Then choose “Auto-post FROM a Facebook Page” (or “Auto-post FROM a Twitter account”):

Then paste in the URL of the Facebook Page that you want to post FROM:

Then choose which of your social accounts you want to post TO:

In this example, I have selected a Google Business Profile as the account I want to post TO. You can choose to have CTA buttons added to each post that goes to your Google Business Profile.

Click Add and that’s it!

Now whenever something is posted on that Facebook Page (or Twitter account), it will automatically publish on your Google Business Profile (or whatever social accounts you’ve selected to post TO)

No Zapier zap required.
