Google Posts are displayed on your local knowledge panel in the Google Search and users can share messages with customers that way. But you now can not share a message and include your phone number in that Google Post. Google has called this new policy as Phone Stuffing.

Google states that users can instead attach a “Call now” button to your post that uses your verified business profile phone number.
