Google My Business Post Announcement

In June 2017, Google released an option for businesses to update their Google My Business posts. It’s still pretty new but seems to be something that could become really useful for promoting content. And, it only takes a few minutes to do.

Another feature that was added was the messaging aspect to your profile. You can enter a mobile phone number that will allow potential customers to contact you directly through your Google listing via Allo.

I’d like to add that if you don’t happen to have a Google My Business listing and you operate a business with an address—you NEED to have one. Here’s why: Can’t find my business on Google.

Finally, if you’re wondering what those website checkups are all about, I’d love to tell you more.

Happy posting!!

I started my digital life in 2007, writing and managing content for lifestyle publications covering motorcycles, golf, and winter sports. The team I worked alongside went on to become executive producers, podcasters, cinematographers, and senior designers. That environment taught me to move fast, stay curious, and figure things out as I go. It's where I discovered that digital publishing, marketing, and web design are all parts of the same puzzle, and I've been rearranging the pieces ever since.

For over fifteen years, I've worked as an extension of my clients' marketing teams across industries ranging from executive recruitment and telecom to healthcare, legal services, and nonprofits. The specific sector changes; the job doesn't. Say what you mean, make it easy to find, and build something that actually works for the people using it.

I'm a refined yinzer, a proud RMU alumna (Go Colonials), and my son's biggest fan. I think in systems, celebrate neurodivergent thinking, and practice festina lente, which is a fancy way of saying I believe in doing things right instead of doing them fast. I'm also the person most likely to disappear into a Sleep Token rabbit hole when I should be doing something else.

Everything I know about doing good work comes down to one Pittsburgh proverb: don't be a jagoff.
