Post to Google Business Profile with Claude

The Google Business Profile API is request-only: you fill in a form, justify your use case, and wait for approval before writing any code. RobinReach is the one-connector fix: Claude writes your updates, offers, and event posts, and schedules them through one MCP URL. Your profile stays fresh and Google notices.

  • No Google Business Profile API setup
  • No code, one MCP URL
  • Works with ChatGPT and Codex too
The DIY route

An API you have to ask permission to use

Google gates Business Profile publishing behind an access request process.

📝

Request-only access

You apply through Google's form, explain your use case, and wait. Most small businesses never make it past this step.

📉

Quotas and limits

Even approved projects live within strict daily quotas, which you get to monitor and engineer around yourself.

🗓️

No native scheduling

The dashboard lets you post now, but keeping a weekly cadence of updates, offers, and events is a manual chore forever.

Why the bridge matters

Why Claude can't post to Google Business Profile on its own

Claude writes brilliant posts, but out of the box it has no account access, no publishing rights, and no scheduler. RobinReach's MCP server is the missing pair of hands.

Claude by itself

  • Cannot log in to Google Business Profile or hold OAuth tokens for your account.
  • Cannot publish, schedule, or upload media. The draft dies in the chat window.
  • The workaround is the Google Business Profile API: developer registration, reviews, token refresh, and format rules, all maintained by you.
  • You end up as the copy-paste middleman for every single post.
The one-connector fix

Claude + RobinReach over MCP

  • RobinReach holds the official, compliant Google Business Profile connection. You authorize it once with a normal OAuth click.
  • One MCP URL gives Claude real tools: draft, validate, attach media, schedule, and publish.
  • RobinReach handles tokens, rate limits, media processing, and Google Business Profile's format rules for you.
  • The same connector covers all 13 RobinReach networks, so one setup unlocks every channel.

Robin, write this week's Google Business post for my dental clinic: we now offer Saturday appointments. Friendly tone, clear call to action, and schedule it for Monday 8am. Then draft next week's post about our new whitening service.
