About these prompts
For local businesses, many customers find you through maps and local search rather than your website. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and the consistency of your name, address and phone number across the web all play a part. AI can help write profile descriptions, posts and review replies, but it must follow the platform's rules and stay strictly accurate about your location and services.
Never let an assistant invent locations, service areas or reviews. Misleading local information breaks Google's guidelines and can get a profile suspended.
Copy any prompt below, or build a custom one with the Prompt Builder. Highlighted [PLACEHOLDERS] are the parts to replace with your own details.
Write 2 versions of the business description for my Google Business Profile, each under 750 characters, with a character count.Business: [BUSINESS NAME], [WHAT YOU DO]Who we serve and where: [CUSTOMERS AND SERVICE AREA]What makes us different: [DIFFERENCES]Founded: [YEAR, IF YOU WANT TO MENTION IT]Follow Google's guidelines: no links, no prices or promotional offers, no all-caps, and only accurate information. Lead with what we do and who for.
TipThe description should match the rest of your profile and your website. Consistency builds trust with customers and search engines.
Write 4 short Google Business Profile posts for [BUSINESS NAME] for the next month. Topics: [e.g. seasonal service, a tip, a recent job, an event].Each post: 80 to 150 words, one clear call to action ([ACTION]), and a suggestion for the photo to use. Use only true information about our business.
Write replies to these customer reviews for [BUSINESS NAME]:[PASTE REVIEWS]Positive reviews: thank them specifically, mention something from their review, keep it under 50 words.Negative reviews: stay calm, acknowledge the issue, do not argue or share private details, offer a way to resolve it offline via [CONTACT METHOD]. Under 80 words.Do not offer discounts or incentives in public replies unless I say so.
TipNever reply with private information about a customer, even when a review is unfair.
Write a short message I can send to customers after [JOB OR PURCHASE] asking them to leave a review. Include a placeholder for the review link. Keep it under 70 words, friendly, and with no incentive or pressure. Make it clear that honest feedback of any kind is welcome.
TipOffering rewards for reviews, or asking only happy customers, goes against many review platforms' policies.

Service area page with real local detail
When you want a page about a specific town or area.
Help me write a page about our [SERVICE] in [AREA]. Before writing, ask me 5 questions to gather genuinely local information: jobs we have done there, local conditions that affect the work, local rules or permits, how quickly we can get there, and anything customers there often ask.Then write the page using only my answers. If my answers are too thin for a useful page, tell me and suggest combining areas instead.
Here is my official business information: [NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE, WEBSITE, HOURS].Here is how it appears on other sites: [PASTE LISTINGS FROM DIRECTORIES, SOCIAL PROFILES, ETC.]List every difference, however small (abbreviations, old phone numbers, suite numbers, hours), and tell me which listing each one is on, so I can correct them.

What a response looks like
The prompt we ran
Prompt 3 with a 2-star review for Oakline Movers: "Movers were friendly but arrived two hours late and nobody called."
The response
"Thank you for the honest feedback, and we're sorry. Arriving two hours late without a call isn't the service we aim for, and you should have been kept informed. We'd like to understand what went wrong; please contact our office manager at the number on our website so we can talk it through."
Sample response, produced by running this prompt in Claude (Anthropic) with the fictional business above. AI responses vary every time you run a prompt; use this to see the kind of result to expect, not as copy to reuse.
Mistakes to avoid
Inventing service areas or addresses you do not have.
Stuffing keywords into your business name on your profile.
Your profile name should match your real-world business name as used on your signage, stationery and branding. Adding extra keywords is against Google's guidelines and can lead to suspension.
How often should I post on my Google Business Profile?
There is no fixed rule. Regular, genuinely useful posts, such as seasonal services, events or recent work, keep your profile current for people who see it.
