GMB posts for local business

Post types
Each post type provides your audience with specific details and allows you to add an action button to your post.
What's new: Provide general information about your business. You can include a photo/video, description, and an action button. For example, a restaurant can make a post to promote a new menu item.
In some countries, Google My Business may also provide automatically suggested posts based on your 4- or 5-star customer reviews. You'll see these suggestions when you sign in to Google My Business, or through email notifications.
Events: Promote an event at your business. Events require a title, start/end dates and time. If there aren’t start or end times, then the system will default to 24 hours on the date it's posted. These posts may also include a photo, video, description, and an action button. For example, a bookstore may advertise a local author's book signing or a book club meeting. Events that meet certain criteria may also show on the Overview tab of the Business Profile to make them more prominent to customers.
Offers: Provide promotional sales or offers from your business. Offers require a title, start/end dates and times. A "View offer" action button is automatically added to the post. You can also include a photo, video, description, coupon code, link, and terms and conditions with the post. For example, a pizza parlor may advertise 20% off large pizzas for a week. Offers appear near the top of the Business Profile on Google Search and Maps. They also appear with all other posts in the Updates tab.
Products: You can use the product posts to add products that will appear in your Product tab. You can manage the product entry in the Product Editor.
Important: The product post doesn't create a post to share.
