Key Concepts
AI-Assisted Content Creation
AI tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude can significantly reduce the time required to create high-quality content for your Google Business Profile. Tasks that previously took 30–60 minutes — writing a week of posts, drafting service descriptions, composing review responses — can now be completed in 5–10 minutes with AI assistance, freeing you to focus on running your business.
Building a Content Workflow
An effective AI-assisted content workflow for Google Business Profile:
1. Brief: Write a short brief for the AI — describe your business, your target customer, the content type needed and any specific details to include.
2. Generate: Use your AI tool of choice to generate 2–3 options for each piece of content.
3. Select and refine: Choose the best option and personalise it — add local details, specific services, your business personality.
4. Review for accuracy: Fact-check every claim. AI tools can fabricate facts convincingly.
5. Publish: Add to your Google Business Profile or schedule in your content calendar.
Content Prompts That Work
Effective AI prompts for Google Business content: "Write a 200-word Google Business Profile post for a Wellington plumbing company promoting their winter pipe protection service. Include a call to action to book online." The more specific your prompt, the more usable the output. Include: your location, business type, target customer, specific service or offer, desired tone (professional, friendly, expert), and call to action.
Google's AI Content Policy
Google does not currently prohibit AI-assisted content on Google Business Profiles, but does require content to be accurate, genuine and helpful. AI-generated content that is misleading, inaccurate or spammy violates Google's content guidelines regardless of how it was created. Always ensure AI-assisted content accurately represents your actual business.
Step-by-Step Practice
Write a content brief for your business: business type, location, target customer, key services, tone of voice.
Use an AI tool (Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude) to generate content for one full month: 8 Google Posts, 5 service descriptions and 5 Q&A answers.
Refine each piece — personalise, add local details, verify accuracy.
Load your refined content into a content calendar.
Publish the first week's content to your Google Business Profile.

Practical Activity
Complete and record this task
Create a 'business brief' document that you use every time you prompt an AI for content. Include: your business name, location, key services, target customer profile, tone of voice and any phrases to always or never use. A good brief produces consistently better AI outputs and saves you time on every content creation session.
