Google reviews every post
Google may reject posts with phone numbers in the text, unrelated links or restricted products. Watchpost shows the rejection and the reason.

Honest notes
Limits worth knowing
What Google Business Profile allows apps like Watchpost to do, said plainly, so nothing surprises you after you schedule.
Posts expire
Updates are archived after about 6 months. Events and offers disappear after their end date.
Hotels and offers
Google does not allow offers for hotel and lodging profiles.
Verified locations only
A location must be verified in Google before apps can post to it.
