Working Asset
Google Business Profile Posting Calendar
Use this calendar to make the profile look active, current, and locally credible without turning posting into a random marketing chore.
Content Lanes
Build posts from four repeatable lanes:
Proof: completed job, patient win, solved problem, before-and-after, or testimonial excerptService: one focused service, problem type, or customer scenarioTeam: technician, process, training, behind-the-scenes, or quality standardSeasonal: weather shift, local event, deadline, reminder, or timely community angle
4-Week Posting Rhythm
Week 1: Proof
- Show a completed job, resolved issue, or visible outcome
- Add location detail, problem context, and the result
- Pair with a fresh photo, not stock imagery
Week 2: Service Spotlight
- Pick one revenue line or high-intent need
- Explain who it is for, what problem it solves, and what happens next
- Link language back to the same phrases used on the site and in intake
Week 3: Team or Process
- Show how the team works, not just who they are
- Use training moments, safety habits, checklists, clean-up standards, or customer care habits
- Make the business feel real, staffed, and operational
Week 4: Seasonal or Local Signal
- Anchor the post to current conditions, local timing, or a predictable customer trigger
- Examples: heat wave prep, storm response, tax deadline, allergy season, or move-in season
- Use this lane to show that the business is active in the market right now
Production Standards
- Use original photos whenever possible
- Keep the first sentence concrete and customer-facing
- Write one post per topic; do not reuse the same copy every week
- Name the location, neighborhood, or service context when appropriate
- Avoid generic slogans that could belong to any company
Asset Capture Workflow
After each strong job or customer win, capture:
- one photo of the setting
- one photo of the result
- one line about the problem
- one line about the solution
- one line about the customer outcome
This gives the office enough material to create stronger proof posts without chasing the field team for details days later.
Review Cadence
Posts work better when they move alongside review and photo activity:
- aim for at least one new review-request wave per week
- reply to recent reviews before publishing the next proof post
- add fresh photos in the same week so the profile moves on multiple fronts
Failure Modes
- posting four promotional messages in a row
- using weak photos with no local or service context
- publishing generic “happy Monday” filler
- posting without matching the language to real services or local demand
- letting months go by with no visible activity, then dumping several posts at once
Monthly Review
- Which lane generated the strongest engagement or calls?
- Which services are underrepresented on the profile?
- Are photos and reviews reinforcing the same trust story as the posts?
- What should next month emphasize based on seasonality and sales priorities?
