The API was coming Google shared this feature with their GMB Top Contributor group we still had to wait for it to launch to see the documentation and try it out. So when the launch announcement went out on October with just a few developers we were able to implement the solution for all of our practices the next evening. It was a fun quick win for us though it was a bit of a long day. In order to get something out that quickly we created templates that could use information from the listing itself like the business name category and location.
That way we were able to create a standalone Python script that Greece Mobile Number List grabbed listings from Google. When getting the listings all the listing content comes along with it including name address and category. These values are taken directly from the listing to create Posts and then are submitted to Google. We host the images on AWS and reuse them by submitting the image URL with the post. Its a Python script which runs as a cron job on a regular schedule. If youre new to the API the real tricky part is authentication but the GMB community can help answer questions there. Miriam Really admirable implementation One question Google.
Posts expire after days unless they are events so are you basically automating reposting of the booking feature for each listing every seven days Joel We create Posts every seven days for all our practices. That way we can mix up the content and images used on any given practice. Were also adding a second weekly post for practices that offer aesthetic services. Well be launching more Posts for specific practice types going forward too. Miriam Now for the most exciting part Joel What can you tell me about the increase in appointments this use of Google Posts has delivered for your customers And can you also please.
