Details: “I don’t have available Google Posts like other businesses. My Business category is lodge”
Answer
Unfortunately, not all businesses can use Google My Business Posts. Google restricts some business categories of posting.
Most categories not allowed are accommodation related categories. A shortlist of categories with no posting ability (by no means exhaustive):
- Lodge
- Hotel
- Bed and Breakfast
- Hostel
- Weapons and ammo related categories
- Adult Education School
- Some health categories
You can always create blog posts on your website, so when people press to go to your website from your Google My Business profile they can see your latest news, offers and updates.
Be remarkable!
