If your Profile could talk, what story would it tell? High-quality photos and videos do the talking — they show what makes you unique and give customers a reason to choose you over the listing next door.

Refresh weekly. Cover storefront, interior, product, and team.

## Best Practices

* Cover the full set: exterior (so customers find you), interior (vibe), product (what they buy), and team (trust).
* Use natural light. Avoid stock images — Google can spot them and may suppress them.
* Add 1-2 fresh photos per week. A 'living' Profile gets surfaced more often than a static one.
* Keep videos under 30 seconds and under 75 MB so uploads succeed reliably.

Businesses that add photos to their Business Profiles receive 42% more requests for directions on Google Maps and 35% more website clicks. Photos are not a 'nice to have' — they're a primary ranking and conversion lever.

## Watch the Photos & Videos tutorial

Walk-through of how to upload, organize, and refresh photos and videos directly inside your Google Business Profile.

## You're done when

* You uploaded exterior, interior, product, and team media.
* Photos are original and well lit, not stock imagery.
* New media appears on your profile within a few minutes.
