How to Make an Offer Image for Google Business Profile Posts

The quickest way to make an offer image for a Google Business Profile post is to open the GBP Image Generator, choose GBP Post, and pick Limited-time special offer announcement. Check the wording, then attach the picture to the offer post yourself.

Why offer posts need a clear image

People look at the photo before they read the post. If the discount is only in the caption, many will miss it. Start with the Limited-time special offer announcement idea on GBP Post. Add the exact wording in the optional custom prompt if you need a specific percent or date.

If you run a hotel, read Google’s posts content policy, which restricts offer posts for hotels. Every other category should still follow the photo guidelines so the image shows a real offer, not a fake storefront.

What belongs on an offer image

Put the deal on the image. Keep the listing name honest. Leave the fine print for the post body.

Prompt

Optional exact wording

A custom prompt is optional. Use it for a headline you must spell correctly.

Policy

Do not invent the deal

The footer says do not use this tool to misrepresent your business.

How to Use the GBP Image Generator

Find your business and pick a format

You’ll land on GBP Image Generator. Under Find your business, start typing your business name and pick the listing. Under Where will you use it? choose GBP Post (Landscape · 4:3). The four options are GBP Post (Landscape · 4:3), Profile Photo (Square · 1:1), Facebook / Instagram Post (Square · 1:1), and Instagram Story / Reel (Vertical · 9:16). There is no 16:9 option.

Pick an idea and generate

After you pick a business, that list becomes 3 ideas suggested for the listing. Pick the one closest to what you need, or choose Custom — write your own. The names below are examples of the defaults, not a promise you will see those exact lines. A reference image and the optional Custom prompt are separate fields. Then click Generate image.

  • Limited-time special offer announcement
  • Showcase your most popular product or service
  • Behind-the-scenes look at your team at work

What the tool does not do

It does not upload the image to Google Business Profile, Instagram, or Facebook. Download it, take a look, then add it yourself. Keep the picture honest, and do not invent a shop, team, or offer you do not have.

What to do next

After the image is ready, write the offer text with the GMB post AI tool, or see how to create Google Business Profile posts with AI.

What not to do, and what to do instead

What people try first

  • A pretty photo with no offer text
  • A discount you do not actually run
  • Publishing a hotel offer post if Google restricts offers for hotels

What actually helps

  • GBP Post 4:3 plus the offer idea
  • Wording that matches the real deal
  • Read the text before you publish

Quick FAQs

Can hotels make offer images?

The generator can create the picture. Google’s posts policy says hotels cannot create offer posts. Check the policy before you publish.

Should the percent be on the image?

Only if it is true. Use Custom prompt if you need that exact line, then read the result.

Where do I write the post text?

In Google Business Profile after you download the image, or with the GMB post AI tool.
