For brands that have more than ten locations are not allowed to post on GMB through the API. Pull the location and check this flag $location->getLocationState()->getIsLocalPostApiDisabled().
Posting on GMB Ex.
$posts = $mybusinessService->accounts_locations_localPosts;
$newPost = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_LocalPost();
$newPost->setSummary("Order your Thanksgiving turkeys now!!");
$newPost->setLanguageCode("en-US");
$calltoaction = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_CallToAction();
$calltoaction->setActionType("ORDER");
$calltoaction->setUrl("http://google.com/order_turkeys_here");
$newPost->setCallToAction($calltoaction);
$media = new Google_Service_MyBusiness_MediaItem();
$media->setMediaFormat("PHOTO");
$media->setSourceUrl("https://www.google.com/real-turkey-photo.jpg");
