    I'm inclined to think yes, publishing GMB posts regularly does indeed help your ranking.

    But curious to hear what others think?

    Yes but don't forget to include your local keywords. It's working good for me.

    I see some GMBs that have this at the bottom:

    How do I get that on mine?

    You mean on the Google SERP that lists your GMB page deets on the right? I'd like to know as well.

    JEDIT: Hold up. One of my GMB already has that. Not sure how. Gonna investigate...

    Hi Ammar,
    You can do this manually at Google Search!
    Obviously, to trigger a map pack, your search term has to include a location word.
    So you need to 
    a) gather a list of your keywords and place them in a spreadsheet; 
    b) Copy these keywords into new columns and append a location word such as
    Keyword1&" "&City1;
    c) paste each on into a Google Search and see if Map Pack is triggered;
    d) Record your success or failure into a row across from that term in your spreadsheet.

    Do this a few times and you will learn a great deal.

    I do not know of a way to do that.
    I would guess that Google would not share that data with us as it would be so narrow that it could refer to one website in one locality. 

    However, someone else could come along and answer with something that proves me wrong! :)

    Let's see...
