Are your posts or events listed on your Google My Business page getting rejected? If your post/event gets rejected, you will see a red “Rejected” notice. Typically posts/events are rejected due to content or because of the photo/image being used or if your business is in a “sensitive” topics area. Sometimes words within the post/event will trigger a post rejection.

Even older, approved posts are now getting rejected.

So what can you do? Here are some tips to consider when writing your posts and using photos:

• No Links (even linking back to your page can cause a rejection)
• Do not add a phone number in the post text
• Do not add an address in the post text
• Do not use Hashtags in the post text
• Limit your word count to 80-100 words. While GMB offers you up to 300 words, it won’t all be visible.
• Photos:
  • Imagine Size – 750 x 750. Properly cropped and not a stock photo. Photos sized to 250 x 250 are rejected.
  • Avoid Text on your photos
• You need to make sure that you are using an appropriate landing page.
