Placit for Google Business Profile
Keep your Google profile fresh without thinking about it.
Most small businesses set up their Google profile once and forget it. Placit adds each photo you approve to your profile and posts it as an Update, so people searching nearby see you're open and active.
The channel almost everyone forgets.
When someone searches "café near me" or "electrician Brisbane", your Google Business Profile is often the first thing they see, before your website and before your socials. It's where they check your photos, your hours and whether you look open.
Yet it's the one most businesses never update, because it's another app, another login and another post to write. Placit adds it to the same approval you already give for Instagram and Facebook.
What Placit does on Google.
Photos added to your profile
Each photo you approve can be added to your profile, so the pictures people see are recent.
Posted as an Update
Placit posts the photo and caption as an Update, which shows on your profile in Search and Maps.
The same approval
No separate app or login each time. One approval covers Instagram, Facebook and Google.
Never goes quiet
Every post you make keeps your profile current, without a reminder or a to-do list.
Every location
Several sites? Each location keeps its own profile, photos and Updates.
Your details stay yours
Placit never changes your hours, address or business details.
Honest about rankings
We won't promise you page one.
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence, and it recommends keeping your Business Profile complete and up to date. Nobody outside Google controls the rest, and anyone who guarantees a ranking is guessing.
What Placit does is take care of the "up to date" part, every time you post. Fresh photos and Updates also do a simple job well: they show the person looking at your profile that you're open, busy and worth a visit.
What you'll need.
- A verified Google Business Profile for your business.
- Owner or manager access to the profile.
- Google joins during the beta. Instagram and Facebook come first.
Questions.
Does posting to Google Business Profile help my ranking?
Google says local results depend on relevance, distance and prominence, and recommends keeping your profile complete and up to date. Nobody can promise a ranking, and we won't. Recent photos and Updates show people you're active, and Placit makes sure you never go quiet.
What is a Google Business Profile Update?
A short post with a photo and text that shows on your profile in Google Search and Maps. It's a good place for specials, news and what's on.
Does my profile need to be verified?
Yes. Google only lets verified profiles post Updates. You also need to be an owner or manager of the profile.
Can I post to several locations?
Yes. Add each location as its own business in Placit and connect its profile. Each keeps its own photos and Updates.
Is Google ready now?
Google Business Profile joins during the beta. Instagram and Facebook come first.
Will Placit change my opening hours or business details?
No. Placit adds photos and posts Updates. Your hours, address and details stay as you set them.
