Overview
If you receive a content policy violation error while publishing a Google Business Profile post, the post may contain promotional content related to financial services, which is restricted under Google's contribution policies.
Why This Happens
Google restricts promotional content for regulated financial services. Posts that include promotional language, pricing, special offers, calls to action, purchase links, or contact information related to financial products or services may be rejected during publishing.
How to Resolve the Issue
Remove promotional language related to financial products or services, including pricing, discounts, offers, or coupons.
Remove links that direct users to pages where financial products or services can be purchased or requested.
Remove phone numbers or email addresses intended for purchasing or promoting financial services.
Review Google's Restricted Content policy to ensure the post complies with Google's publishing guidelines.
Revise the post so it is informational rather than promotional, then try publishing again.
If the Issue Persists
If the post continues to be rejected:
Review Google's Restricted Content policy to ensure the content complies with all requirements.
Update the post to remove any remaining promotional elements.
Retry publishing after making the necessary changes.
If the issue persists despite complying with Google's guidelines, contact Google Business Profile Support for further assistance.
Additional Information
Google reviews both the content and any links included in a post before publishing. Promotional content related to regulated financial services may be rejected even if only part of the post violates Google's policies.

NOTE:
If your post promotes regulated financial services, consider rewriting it to provide informational content instead of promotional messaging before publishing.
