Ever walked into a bar on a Friday evening hoping to come across a party but only stumble upon a few people. Welp, that’s what it feels like to be on Google Plus, and it’s not getting any better. Google Plus was launched to help people keep their content organized but didn’t offer anything new compared to other social platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).

The company realized that Google Plus was such a fail. So to come back from that downfall, they’ve introduced Google Post. Keep in mind, ‘Google Post’ isn’t the official name for the feature but that’s what everyone is going with.

What’s Google Post?

It allows businesses to create and add content directly onto google’s search engine results page (SERP). It is a simple way to share fresh content with people looking for your business on google. It’s great because you’re able to micro blog, share images, videos, and animated GIFs.
