Rules that trip people up
- No phone numbers, emails or social handles in the text. Google may remove posts with unverified contact details. Add a Call now button instead, which uses your verified number.
- Hotels can’t post offers or mention deals and discounts.
- Photos must follow Google’s content policies.
- Keep it short. The widely used limit is 1,500 characters, and only the opening lines show before More.
