Guides for shop owners

Short, practical and written from running profiles for real storefronts. No marketing-speak, no thirty-item listicles.

Google Business Profile

What to post

What is coming

Next on the list: what to post for a cafe, how to get ownership of a Google profile back from a former employee or agency, and how to read the profile's own performance numbers without a dashboard. If there is a question you keep hitting, email it to hello@socialforshops.com and it goes on the list.

How these guides are written

Everything here comes from managing Google profiles and social accounts for storefronts in New England: repair shops, a dessert cafe, a landscaper, the same work described on the about page. When Google changes something, the guide changes. Each page shows the date it was last updated. If you want the posting done rather than explained, start with the Google Business Profile scheduler or see who it is built for.
