Posts built around what actually happened, not a content calendar slot.

A Google Business Profile post has a short visible lifespan and a strict character budget. Local Content Writer drafts posts from real, dated activity — a completed job, a seasonal service shift, an update to hours or area — rather than filling a recurring weekly slot with generic reminders.

What makes a post worth publishing

[INSERT: recent job or update] as the input

A post draft needs a real input — a finished job, a business update, a seasonal note — to write from. Where that specific detail isn't supplied yet, the draft holds an [INSERT: recent job or update] placeholder rather than inventing an event that didn't happen.
