Add & remove photos for bulk-verified profiles

Your businesses on Google can include photos that you’ve uploaded and photos uploaded by others. The photos that you add are marked 'From the owner'. You can add photos to businesses in bulk using a spreadsheet or one-by-one.

• You can’t upload photos to unverified locations. Learn how to get verified
• All photos must meet our photo guidelines for Business Profiles. 
• If you use a spreadsheet, make sure that your photos are uploaded to a publicly accessible URL, like your website or a photo hosting site. 
• It may take several days for your photos to appear on Google Maps and Search.

Add photos to bulk-verified profiles

To add photos to a single location:

3. Scroll to the section for the type of photo that you’d like to add, then click Add photos.

4. Enter the URLs for your photos in the corresponding photo columns in your spreadsheet: 'Logo', 'Cover' or 'Other Photos'. To upload the same photos to multiple locations, enter the same URL in the columns for other locations in your spreadsheet. 
   • For the 'Other Photos' column: if you have more than one additional photo, separate the URLs with a comma. If a URL contains a comma, replace the comma with the code '%2C'. For example, if your URL were https://example.com/myphoto03,2012.jpg then you should modify the URL to be https://example.com/myphoto03%2C2012.jpg. Ensure that there are no invalid characters (< , >, etc.), duplicate URLs, or broken URLs. There is a maximum limit of 25 additional photos per location.
5. Import your spreadsheet when you're done adding photos.
