      How to add photos or videos to your Google Business Profile listings?

      Types of photos

      There are several types of photos you can add to your business listing:

      • Logo: Help your customers recognise your business on Google. For businesses that have their basic information (phone number, hours, etc.), the Business Profile will highlight the logo.
      • Cover photo: Set a cover photo to the top of the profile that best represents your business. In some instances, this action doesn’t guarantee that the cover photo populates as the first image for your business.
      • Business photos: Add different photos to highlight features of your business that customers consider when making purchasing decisions.

      Business-specific photos

      Your business will look best on Google if you add category-specific photos. These photos spotlight features of your business that your customers use when making purchasing decisions. Photos you add can also help differentiate your business on Google.
