Plan one month of Google Business Profile posts for a local business.

Business: {{BUSINESS_NAME}}
Services: {{SERVICES}}
City: {{CITY}}
Month: {{MONTH}}
Known dates, events, offers or seasonal demand: {{KNOWN_EVENTS}}
Booking or enquiry link: {{LINK}}

Produce eight posts as a table with these columns: Week, Post type (Update, Offer, Event), Headline, Body, CTA button, Image brief.

Rules for the body text:
- 150 to 300 characters. State the count in the table.
- One idea per post. No post should try to cover two services.
- Vary the job each post does across the month: seasonal demand, a specific service explained, a common customer question, proof or results, an event or local tie-in, an offer, a practical tip, an availability or opening hours note.
- Only use the Offer type where I gave you a real offer. Do not invent discounts, deadlines or percentages.
- The image brief is one sentence describing a photo the business could actually take on a phone. No stock photo concepts.
- No em dashes. No exclamation marks. No "it's not just X, it's Y". No opener that describes the season in general terms before getting to the point.

If any of my inputs are too thin to write a post from, say so in a note under the table instead of padding.

Fill in before running

Replace each placeholder with your own detail. The more specific you are, the less the model invents.

Getting a better result

Posts expire from prominence quickly, so a steady weekly cadence beats a burst of ten in one day.
Swap the generated image briefs for real photos of your premises, team or work - Google surfaces genuine imagery more often.
Reuse the strongest two or three posts as the basis for social content rather than writing separately.

Questions about this prompt

When is planning a month better than posting when I think of something?

When you keep meaning to post and then do not. Ad hoc posting produces bursts and gaps, and a steady weekly cadence beats ten posts in one day. Reach for it when you can name real {{KNOWN_EVENTS}} for {{MONTH}}; with nothing seasonal or specific to hang posts on, eight planned posts come out thinner than four written by hand.

What do I need ready before I run it?

Dates you can confirm in {{KNOWN_EVENTS}}, a working booking or enquiry {{LINK}}, and honesty about which offers actually exist. The prompt only uses the Offer type where you supplied a real one and will not invent discounts, deadlines or percentages. Where an input is too thin it writes a note under the table instead of padding.

What does the output look like?

Eight posts as a table: week, post type, headline, body with its character count, CTA button and an image brief. The image brief column is the working part, because it doubles as a shooting list for photos someone can take on a phone. Each body runs 150 to 300 characters and covers one idea only.

What goes wrong most often with this one?

Treating the image briefs as stock photo descriptions rather than going and taking the shot. Genuine imagery of your premises, team and work is what gets surfaced. The second mistake is scheduling all eight in the first week because the table already exists, which undoes the reason for planning a month.
