The images you upload for your Google My Business profile should be of professional quality and conform to Google My Business image standards if you want your profile to be optimized more effectively. Images of high quality create a better first impression on users, are essential for SEO optimization, attract more online visitors, and contribute to the success of your website.
Here are the steps to
add, remove, and optimize your images for Google My Business.
Google My Business photos come in three types:
1. Use profile photos to help customers recognize your business on Google. Most often, this will be your logo.
2. Google My Business cover photos allow you to customize the top of your business profile page with a unique image, just like your Facebook cover photo. By adding a cover photo, you automatically set your business listing's preferred image. Your cover photo isn't the first image that describes your business, but it is what tells Google how to display your business. That's why the profile photo isn't always the most prominent image.
3. Images that show the prominent features of your business, displayed by Google according to the keywords users are searching for: These are additional photos, posts, offers, and products.
