Post to Google Business Profile from CRM

Video Transcript

[0:00] Hey there. Do you want to know how to post updates to your Google business profile without leaving your CRM? In this video, I'm going to show you exactly how to do that. I'm going to show you how to connect your Google business profile to our Alpha Blossom CRM, which is also, if you're a GoHighLevel user, the exact same process. I'm also going to show you how you can schedule posts directly from your CRM. So, you no longer have to go log into Google or log into other platforms as well. And I'm going to show you how you can create several posts and schedule them in advance. so you can sit down, maybe spend an hour or two, bang out a month's worth of content, have those pre-scheduled to go out on autopilot. So, let's jump into it. But before we do, if you're not already subscribed to our channel, make sure to click that subscribe button down below, like this video, and comment, and we will be sure to reply to all comments. So, I will see you on the other side.

[0:50] In this video, I'm going to show you how to use our Alphab Blossom CRM to post directly to Google Business Profile. And so, as we come to Google Business Profile, we can come in here to posts and we can schedule our posts. And now, when we add posts, you can see that they do have a scheduling option. So, you can do this one at a time inside of Google Business Profile directly. But our goal these days is to try to do as much inside of our CRM to keep us from having to bounce around and log into different places. And so we're going to show you how we can do that directly from inside of our account here. We're going to go into reputation and GBP optimization. So that's our Google business profile optimization. You can see now on the left we have a new tab here for schedule posts. And initially we're going to need to set this up. So, if I click the schedule a post button, it's going to take me into the social planner settings. And you can also go into marketing and social planner. And then here, you can see I don't have anything set up yet. So, I'm going to go to GBP here and click the account I want to connect. And then it's going to ask me to select which account and give permissions to our lead connector app. That's our connector between the different APIs. And I've got a couple different accounts here. So, I'm going to add FH Beauty Inc., which is the account we're working on. And you can see now it's connected. So we can just close out of there. And now you can see I've got it connected here. So let's go back to reputation and let's try this again. You'll only have to do that once once it's connected. So now we go to schedule posts and schedule a post. And then it's going to take us back into the social planner directly where we can schedule this. And now it says no post. We can go new post. Select our account.

[2:30] And then from here we can write our post content. We can have our call to action which is going to be this is actually just primary call to action and then we're going to do learn more for that and our link. So I've got my prompting and my systems in place already with I'm using Claude AI here and so we've got our title. So I'm going to just copy from that and I'm going to come here and I'm going to say so you can see we've got our FH beauty inc. If you had other accounts, you could schedule to post to Facebook, Instagram, um, all through the one planner and you could actually customize it for each one. The advantage of doing this is, let's say I have 10 posts that I want to post. Maybe I could sit down maybe 30 minutes or an hour, come up with 10 post. Then I could just come here in one sitting, schedule the posts, and they'll automatically be posted out when I want them to be posted. So, it's also, you know, on top of having it inside of the one platform, we can now have our post schedule out. So we can really focus on doing some dedicated work to creating maybe a month's worth of posts and then just schedule them out at once. And you're talking about maybe an hour or two hours of work depending on how your workflow. So I'm going to say new, let me actually paste this here. And I'm going to say new blog post alert. How to find the best micro blading in Los Angeles. And then we're going to come back up here and I'm going to copy the content.

[3:43] Paste that content here. So let's just make sure everything looks good. So I know we can't really bold this here. So, I'm going to bold this, but it's not going to show inside of the post. Google just keeps it pretty basic. So, I'm going to change this and say click learn more to read the full guide on our website. And that's it. And then we can upload our image here. So, I'm going to upload from our media storage. And then I'm going to go social images here. So, I'm just starting this, but it would definitely be worth creating your own folder here. So, let's say GBP posting. I'm going to create a folder for that. And you could organize this however you want. You could organize it by month or any way you see fit. I'm just going to leave it here for now. And then I'm going to just drag in this image. It'll take a second to upload. And if you don't know, we have unlimited media hosting inside of our CRM. So you can have unlimited images, videos, PDFs, things like that. And there you go. Now you can take a look at it. One final thing we're going to do is I'm going to grab my URL. And you can see here the URL. I have my basic blog post. But then I have this question mark and these parameters. These are Google UTM tracking parameters and these are attached to the end of the URL. And it basically allows me to track any contact that's come from this link that becomes a contact. I'll be able to go to the contact and see they came from Google, they came from my GBP, they came from the best microblading LA post. It will also pull this data into Google Analytics. So I'll be able to track into analytics. And if you're using this on all your links, you can actually get your data and see where people are coming from. Especially valuable if you're doing paid traffic. You know, if you're running Facebook ads and you don't have any tracking, you may not know who's actually converting, like which ads people are coming from that are giving you the best conversions. So, it's really helpful to be able to use that. And that's it. So, you can see here we've got some advanced options. I'm not sure we don't have categories. So, this is kind of for internal stuff. And then we're not using tags. So, GBP doesn't use any of that. So, I'm just going to post. And I can post now. I can schedule the post. I can send it out for approval or I can schedule a recurring post. So if you want to have this reposted in the future, it's very efficient. So we're just going to post it now. It says post created successfully. So let's come here. And now we can see our post here in progress. So if I go back into Google and look at my post, you can see my last post was 2 days ago. But we should be able to refresh this fairly soon and see our new post here. Just going to pause the video for a minute while this is being updated and then we'll be right back.

[6:13] It says publish now. So, let's come in again actually and refresh the page. Let's see if it's showing up yet. There you go. You can see it is posted. And if we click on that, we've got the full post. It actually does keep the bolding there, which is amazing because typically I'm not able to bold when I do it inside of the profile itself. You can use emojis and things like that if you'd like to as well. But there you go. We've got the post. We've got the link which takes us to our blog post. And you can see all of our parameters are carried over. So that is perfect. So again, it's just really something if you want to be able to come in here especially and doing pre-scheduled posts. So you can really just sit down and focus on that. But also, you're probably in here a lot working on your CRM, contacts, automations, things like that, replying to leads. And so having your social planner content, being able to post it from within the one platform, it's just a nice convenience and allows you just to do things from one place. So now you know how to post directly to your Google business profile, schedule your posts well in advance, so you can work a lot more efficiently and you don't have to worry about missing posts and things like that.
