Nearby Now Can Automate Google Business Profile Posts For You!
Keeping your Google Business Profile (GBP) updated with fresh posts helps your business rank higher in local searches. But manually posting every day takes time. That’s why we’re proud to introduce the new BizReal feature from Nearby Now.
This feature automatically turns team Checkins, photos, and videos into polished Google Business Profile posts. Think of it as an extra set of hands to pick the most valuable job Checkin each day, add AI-enhanced details, and schedule it as a “What’s New” post.
This integration pulls photos directly from ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber, ensuring fresh, relevant updates without extra effort.
The best part is that this functionality is automatically being added to all of our integrated accounts for free!
Read on to learn what BizReal can do right now to improve your SEO.
Why Choose Automated Posts Over Manual Scheduling?
Nearby Now taps into a vast pool of data to find the Checkins that grab the most attention from search engines and your customers. That history helps the new BizReal feature optimize your business in three ways:
- Saving Time: No more daily stress over content creation. The system auto-selects updates from your team’s hard work.
- Boosting SEO: Each post can include structured location data (a “digital address tag”) that helps Google feature your business in local results.
- Reducing Costs: Unlike competitors that charge per Google Business Profile, Nearby Now bills per business entity—ideal for multi-location companies.
Take the guesswork out of your Google Business Profile posts today with Nearby Now’s BizReal.
Why Is Photo Integration Essential For Local SEO?
Visual posts are like bright billboards on Google’s busy highway.
BizReal automatically grabs job photos from your field team’s apps (such as ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro) and attaches them to your posts. While competitors force manual uploads, this system acts like a pipeline—delivering fresh visuals every time.
Every post shows real proof of the good work your team is doing. BizReal also filters Checkins by geographic relevance and media quality, ensuring only the best content goes live.
How Does Nearby Now Compare To Pin Parrot?
Nearby Now outperforms Pin Parrot in three major areas:
- Pricing: Pin Parrot charges per Google Business Profile, while Nearby Now charges per website/entity—cutting costs for businesses with multiple locations.
- Schema Markup: Nearby Now publishes Checkins with location data via structured data, which supports local SEO. Pin Parrot does not offer this.
- Automation: BizReal auto-selects Checkins with photos/videos. Pin Parrot relies on more manual input to reach similar results.
In short: location-aware Checkins + structured data + entity-level pricing = stronger SEO performance with lower overhead.
Can I Schedule Posts In Advance Or Adjust Timing?
Yes. Nearby Now’s Google Post Scheduler can plan “What’s New,” “Events,” or “Offers” posts weeks ahead. Set exact publish times or let the system auto-post daily within your chosen hours (e.g., 7 AM–7 PM) to hit the right moment.
If you want even more control, enable a review delay. Approve, edit, or skip posts before they go live—so every update reflects your brand perfectly. Nearby Now lets you set your posts weeks ahead while keeping full control.
How Much Does Automated Posting Cost?
This is the big question—and the answer is simple.
BizReal automation is included for free in all SEO Master plans. Adding more profiles is just a request—no per-profile fees.
Competitors often charge extra for similar features, making this model a wallet-friendly choice for growing businesses.

How Often Should I Post On My Google Business Profile?
Google posts last about 7 days, so it’s best to post at least once a week. BizReal automates one daily post but skips days if no recent Checkins meet quality criteria.
Can I Automate Google Business Profile Posts?
