Google Business Profile photos: what to upload and how often
Photos do two jobs on your profile: they help customers choose you, and a steady stream of recent, genuine images signals an active business. You don't need a professional shoot — you need real, current photos added consistently.
What to upload
Cover the essentials: your storefront or exterior (so people recognise you on arrival), your interior or workspace, your team at work, and your actual products or completed jobs. Real photos of your own business always beat stock imagery — customers can tell the difference.
How often
Add new photos on a regular cadence rather than all at once and never again. A profile that gains fresh images over time reads as active and current, which supports prominence and keeps your listing engaging.
Quality basics
Good light, in focus, and an honest representation of what customers will find. You don't need to over-produce — authenticity and recency matter more than polish.
