Tips, Guides and Limitations
- Franchises/chains cannot post to a Google Business Profile that has more than 10 locations as Google has disabled the posting feature in their API. However, franchisees (store owners, entrepreneurs) can independently use Hookle to post to their location(s) if the franchise/chain encourages them to do so.
- In addition to publishing, you can also see the impact of it on your Social Score.
