GBP Images for business with no physical shop

[s666chez]

For GBP profiles that haven't got a physical shop (adress if for example, a house), what images should they be putting?

GBP shows 3 images: "Frontpage" (Is this storefront or can be anything else), logo and company images (Is this both images of my desk for example AND images related to services?)

Really need some help here lol

@s666chez definitely dont put a picture of your house, that is a quick way to get flagged if google decides to manual review you. for the cover photo just use a clean branded graphic or a shot of the actual service being done. company images should be your tools, branded truck if you got one, or before and afters of your work. whatever you do stay away from stock photos... googles vision api is too smart now and it just looks spammy. keeping it looking like a real local business doing real work is the play here.

If it’s a service area business I would not use the house as a storefront photo. I’d use the logo for the logo slot then actual photos of the work, team, van, equipment, etc. for the main photo, just use something that clearly represents the business. The important part is that the images are real and relevant to the business.

For service-area businesses (no physical storefront) I usually recommend:
Cover / Main photo: A clean branded graphic or a real photo of the service being performed (tools, van, work in progress, before/after). Avoid any house or residential photos.
Logo: Just your logo, simple and clear.
Additional photos: Real photos of equipment, branded vehicle (if you have one), team members working, tools, or completed jobs. Stay away from stock images — Google’s AI catches them easily now.
The goal is to make the profile look like a real local business that actually does the work. Authentic photos perform much better than generic ones.

Just add the work-related images to your GBP. No need to add the front page image of your business.

I just add work-related images or banners related to my business on GBP.
