How to Measure Google My Business Post Performance?

When you upload a post on Google my business, you can see how many people came across it. You can also see the number of times the call to action button in your post was clicked.

To check the views and clicks on any post, simply go to the ‘Posts’ section from your GMB dashboard. Look at the bottom of each post in the authoring tool. You will see the total number of views for that post which is received from Google search and other platforms combined. Just beside the view count, you will see the number of clicks received on the post. This is the number of times your call to action button was clicked by the users.

You can see these numbers from your GMB dashboard and Google will also email the aggregate account metrics every week. The email will include the number of posts on search for the week, total number of views from all posts, and thumbnails of 3 posts with the highest interaction rate for the week.

How to Track GMB Traffic to Your Site?

UTM tracking will help you keep a track of GMB traffic to your site. You must use UTM because Google Analytics attribution is not very reliable in this case. You will get the exact number of views and clicks on a post via GMB insights but the problem is that multiple impressions from the same user are counted in that. This can be slightly misleading if you want to track your growth and strategize based on that.

How Often You Should Post on Google My Business

The optimal frequency of posting on Google My Business is once per week. That means that you should post at least once a week and refrain from posting more than that. If you think that posting more and creating carousels of posts will get you better results, you are wrong. As per tests, businesses are found to get good results from using a single post.

Posting only once a week will also allow you to track the performance of your posts better. You will know what is working with the help of Google analytics.

  1. Why was my image post rejected by Google my business?

When your Google my business post gets rejected, you will see a ‘Rejected’ notice in a red button. Normally, posts are rejected due to the content written or image used. Sometimes, certain words written in the description triggers rejection. Those words might appear normal to you, but they may be on the offensive words list of Google.

So, when your post gets rejected, try writing a more general copy in the description and don’t use any sensitive images. Also, don’t include any URL or phone number in the description of the post. Use the call to action button for sending people to your website or to call you.

The 16:9 ratio looks excellent in Google Maps, and it can still be cropped into a square when it’s needed as a thumbnail. 1024 x 576 is a great option because it’s high-resolution but still small enough to support fast load times.
