The gap between a client sending a photo and that photo appearing as an optimised GBP post is where quality is made — or lost. This guide documents every step with quality checks that separate high-performing posts from mediocre ones.
The Complete Post Workflow
1
Client uploads photo via Ampli5 Pulse app
Opens app → Upload → takes or selects photo → adds brief caption → submits. GPS coordinates recorded automatically.
2
Agency reviews incoming media (5 minutes)
Is the photo usable? Clear lighting, in focus, relevant? Does client caption give context?
3
Photo optimisation (3–5 minutes)
Rename to keyword-location format. Verify geotag. Resize if needed (minimum 720×720px). Remove any sensitive background.
4
Post copy writing (5–8 minutes)
2–4 sentences: describe photo, customer benefit, location, call to action. Check against client brand voice.
5
Schedule the post (2 minutes)
Select post type. Set publish date/time. Recommended: Tuesday–Thursday, 9–11am.
