Your Google My Business listing is your digital business card and can be a primary touchpoint when clients and prospects search for your company. As soon as someone searches for your company on Google, your Google My Business listing appears in the top right-hand side of the search results and is in the focus of attention. Presenting your latest posts from your business blog directly on your Google My Business listing allows you to share your latest news and draw attention before people even visit your site.

Blog2Social allows you to share your blog posts on your Google My Business listing with just one click directly from your WordPress dashboard. The plugin automatically converts your blog posts into a Google My Business Post. Your featured image will be converted to the right format automatically and a link to your blog post will be added.
