What is a Google video post ?


A Google video post is a publication on your Google business listing that includes a video, either in addition to or instead of an image and text, in order to better capture the attention of your visitors.


Technical requirements for publishing a Google video post


In order for your video to be accepted in a Google Post via Merchant, it must comply with the following requirements to ensure an optimal experience for your visitors :


  1.  Maximum length :  The video must not exceed 30 seconds. We even recommend aiming for a slightly shorter length (for example, 20 to 25 seconds).
  2. Minimum resolution: The video must have a minimum resolution of 720 pixels on at least one of the two dimensions of the image:
    • either in width,
    • or in height.
