How a Bookstore Uses Google Maps Posts to Host Events

Lucas and Luna dig into how an independent bookstore in Portland, Oregon — called The Book Nook — uses Google Business Profile posts to drive foot traffic to author events, storytime, and book clubs. They walk through the exact post cadence, the difference between events and offers in Google Maps, and the surprising stat that 40% of the store's weekly visitors come from Maps discovery. Luna challenges whether the strategy works for every small business, and Lucas shares the one post template that consistently overperforms. Plus a brief, low-key mention of how listener support keeps the show ad-free.
