10 Best AI Tools for Google My Business
Feeling swamped managing multiple Google Business Profiles? AI tools for Google My Business can be your secret weapon, especially if you’re managing multiple Google Business Profiles.
Staying on top of posts, profile updates, and positive and bad reviews can be a time-consuming hassle. Thankfully, innovative AI tools are here to streamline GMB management and boost your online presence.
The Struggle is Real: Popular social media management tools like Hootsuite, Sprout Social, or Later often fall short for Google My Business. They do not integrate with GMB at all, lack AI features entirely, or reserve their AI capabilities for other platforms.
Having that said, let’s categorize all these tools into two categories: social media management tools and SEO tools.
AI Social Media Management Tools for Google My Business
There are actually more AI-powered social media management tools that support GMB management than what’s on this list, but here are some of the top picks:
Circleboom Publish
Circleboom Publish isn’t your average social media scheduler. This AI-powered tool lets you manage Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Google Business Profile all in one place.
Here’s what sets it apart for GMB:
- AI-powered content creation,
- Advanced scheduling including offers and events with CTAs such as “Call Now”
- Effortless design with post templates and stock visuals
- Automated posting by queued posts and connected RSS feeds
- Smart scheduling either through a manual calendar or suggested best posting times
Circleboom caters to small businesses, agencies, NGOs, and even corporations with tiered pricing plans.
SocialPilot
SocialPilot goes beyond scheduling for Google My Business. Its built-in AI assistant helps craft engaging captions for your GMB posts, streamlining content creation.
However, as it focuses on social media management as a general task, it lacks the in-depth AI features of some other tools.
Buffer
Buffer integrates Google My Business alongside scheduling for other social platforms. While its AI assistant is basic, it can still help with captions. It also allows scheduling offers, events, CTAs, and image use, similar to other GMB schedulers.
It's not bad if you need basic GMB scheduling with some AI caption help or if you manage a small number of social media channels, as costs can add up for multiple channels.

Unlike most schedulers, RecurPost offers AI-powered content creation for Google My Business by helping with text as well as visuals.
While powerful, the interface might have a learning curve, particularly for advanced features. It’s ideal for advanced users seeking AI-powered GMB content creation and scheduling.

This tool also offers some SEO features, but these features require an extra monthly payment. Alternatively, here’s an article to help you with your SEO offers. Don’t worry, though; you can read it for free.
