Google Business support

Hey!

Postproxy now supports Google Business.

You can publish local updates to Business Profile locations through the same API you already use for other platforms. That includes:

regular updates
events with start and end dates
offers with coupon codes, redemption links, and terms

Google Business is a bit different from social feeds. Posts are attached to a specific business location, so every request targets a location_id. If one connected profile manages multiple locations, Postproxy lets you pick exactly where the update should go instead of pretending “the right one” will somehow reveal itself.

A simple update looks like this:

curl -X POST "https://api.postproxy.dev/api/posts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "post": {
      "body": "We are now open on Sundays from 10am to 4pm."
    },
    "profiles": ["google_business"],
    "platforms": {
      "google_business": {
        "format": "standard",
        "location_id": "accounts/123456789/locations/987654321",
        "cta_action_type": "LEARN_MORE",
        "cta_url": "https://example.com/opening-hours"
      }
    }
  }'

You can also publish events and offers with the same endpoint. The format changes, the general model does not. That is how software should behave, though reality keeps filing objections.

Google Business support also comes with review management. Reviews are available through the Profile Comments API, and you can reply to them programmatically from Postproxy. In other words, for Google Business, “comments” are your customer reviews.

This one is especially useful for local businesses, agencies managing many locations, and SaaS products that need Google Business publishing without spending weeks negotiating with yet another platform API.

Cheers,
