Google Business Profile Photos – Upload, Sizing & SEO Guide
Google Business Profile photos can generate tons of additional engagement. Google’s image requirements for optimizing business listings include a file size between 10KB and 5MB, with a minimum resolution of 720 x 720 pixels (refer to the guide for variations). Additionally, the most effective photos are well-lit, clearly focused, and accurately represent the actual space. Once you’ve created your Google Business Profile and it has been verified, you’ll be able to upload images, videos, add products, and publish posts. Google provides the following recommendations about the types of photo uploads:
- 3x exterior photos to help customers recognize your business.
- 3x interior photos to show customers what your business feels like inside.
- 3x product / services photos to show what your business sells.
- 3x photos of your most popular guest rooms.
- 3x employee photos showing your management team and employees.
- 1x photo of each of your common areas.

If your business does not have a website, I strongly recommend creating a local SEO landing page one as part of your search engine optimization strategy. Doing so will improve your chances of ranking, and help build backlinks from your Google Business Profile to your website.
