Your first scheduled post in three steps
Connect the profile
Sign in through the official Google sign-in and pick the location of your Business Profile in Crowdbird.
Prepare the post
Write up to 1,500 characters, add one image and, if you like, a Learn more link.
Set the time
Pick your own time or the next free slot in the queue.
Connect your Google Business Profile
You connect your Google Business Profile through the official Google sign-in. Crowdbird then shows the locations you manage, and you pick the one you schedule posts for. You only enter your Google password with Google, never with us.
Each post goes to the location you picked when you connected. For another location, you can enter its location ID in the post.
What a post can contain
Crowdbird schedules updates, the standard posts of your profile. A post has text up to 1,500 characters and, if you like, one image as JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB. Videos and several images are not part of it.
You can add a link that shows up as a Learn more button. Events, offers, product posts and reviews are not scheduled through Crowdbird.
What updates are good for
Updates appear in your Business Profile and are public. Plan them for information someone needs while they are looking up your business:
Opening hours
Changed hours on holidays or during vacations.
Dates
A new workshop or an open day, with the link to sign up.
New in the shop
A new product with a photo from the store.
Notices
Construction in front of the door or a new entrance.
One week with your profile and social networks
In the social media scheduler you see your Business Profile next to Instagram, Facebook and your other connected accounts. An announcement can run everywhere and still get its own, factual text on the profile.
For many posts at once, use the CSV import with text, time, channel and media link. Each row becomes a draft you review before you schedule it. Comments and messages from the profile are not available in Crowdbird.
Common mistakes when scheduling for your profile
Attaching a video or several images to one post.
Uploading an image over 5 MB or in a format other than JPEG, PNG or WebP.
Entering a link that doesn't start with https.
Copying an Instagram caption with hashtags as it is.
Can I schedule posts for my Google Business Profile?

Which post types does Crowdbird schedule?
