Photos are an essential element of your Google My Business (GMB) page. But under what conditions should you add the right photos? And in which format?
It is essential to add photos for three main reasons:
Photos must be in JPG or JPEG format and must weigh between 10 KB and 5 KB.
Profile photo :
This is the photo that appears when you respond to notices.
Ideal format: 250 x 250 pixels (minimum 120 x 120; maximum 5200 x 5300).
Cover photo :
This is the photo that you want to highlight to represent your establishment.
Ideal size: 1080 x 608 pixels (minimum 480 x 270; maximum 2120 x 1192).
Additional photos :
These are the other photos you add to your GMB listing.
Ideal size: 497 x 373 pixels (minimum width 497 pixels; maximum 2048 x 2048).
If your photos do not meet these requirements, Partoo can automatically resize them so that they can appear on Google.
Here’s a good example of a GMB page with professional photos:
The cover photo is not necessarily the first photo that will appear on your listing; it is only a recommendation to Google. The featured photo is chosen by the browser based on a number of different criteria, including :
Anyone who has visited your business can add a photo to your listing, as long as it fits within the Google Guidelines. The laws associated with intellectual property apply to these photos.
From the Google My Business back office:
For photos added by users :
It is not possible to delete a photo added by a user, unless it goes against Google’s guidelines. These are indicated in the Google Help Center under the heading Prohibited content and subject to restrictions and criteria to be respected according to the formats.
