Google Post Checker
The Google Post Checker is a free tool that checks your Google Business post before you publish: the cut-off first line, links and phone numbers.
- Free
- No sign-up
- Runs in your browser
Google Business posts appear on your listing and show customers the business is active. Almost no local business uses them, which makes it easy ground — but there are rules that are not written down anywhere obvious, and this checks the ones people trip over.

How to use it
- 1Paste the post you are about to publish.
- 2Check the first line. Google cuts the post at about 80 characters in the listing, and that is all most people read.
- 3Fix anything flagged — links and phone numbers in the body do not work the way people expect.
- 4Post about once a week. Consistency matters more than length.
Common questions
Why are links in my post not clickable?
Google does not make links in the post body clickable. Use the button option when creating the post instead — that is what it is for.
How long do Google posts last?
Standard posts stay visible for about a week before moving down. Event and offer posts stay until their end date. That is why weekly is the right rhythm.
Do hashtags work on Google posts?
No. They do nothing at all here. They work on Instagram, not on your Google listing.
