Add photos or videos to your Business Profile

Manage your business

Your photos won’t show on Google until you verify your business.

Types of photos

There are several types of photos you can add to your Business Profile:

• Logo: Help your customers recognize your business on Google. For businesses that have their basic information, such as a phone number or hours of operation, the Business Profile highlights the logo.
• Cover photo: Set a cover photo at the top of your profile that best represents your business. In some instances, this action doesn’t guarantee the cover photo will show up as the first image for your business.
• Business photos: Add different photos to highlight features of your business to attract and inform customers. Learn more about business photos.

You can add photos of your storefront, products, and services.

After you choose the photos or videos you want to add to your Google My Business listing, make sure of the following:

• Photos and videos follow our content policies.
• Photos are in either JPG or PNG format.
• Photos are the correct size.
• Videos follow our guidelines.
