Write your Google Business Profile post and see the live character count against Google’s 1,500-character limit.
Google Business Profile posts — the updates, offers and events that show on your Google listing and Maps — have a 1,500-character limit, but only the first 75 or so characters show before a “Read more” cutoff on most surfaces. This counter helps you stay under the hard limit and, just as importantly, front-load the part that actually gets seen.
Type or paste your post and you’ll see the live character count against the 1,500 limit, with a warning if you go over. It runs entirely in your browser. Use it to check a post before you publish it in your Google Business Profile dashboard so it isn’t rejected or awkwardly truncated.
A few things that make GBP posts work for a local business: lead with the offer or news in the first line since that’s what shows collapsed, keep it specific and honest, and include a clear call to action. Note that Google doesn’t allow phone numbers in the post body — it attaches a call button automatically — so leave the number out of the text.
