The first step is to navigate to your Google Business profile. You can do this easily by searching for “Google Business Profile” in your web browser. Click on the link that appears in the search results. Once you’re on the Google Business Profile page, click on the “Manage Now” button to access your business profile settings.

Step 2: Navigate to the Photos Section

Once you’ve entered the management section of your Google Business profile, you’ll see a variety of options available. Since our goal is to add a photo, look for the “Add Photo” option and click on it.

Step 3: Understand the Types of Photos You Can Add

When you click “Add Photo,” you’ll be presented with three different types of photos you can upload:

  1. Interior Photos: These allow customers to get a glimpse inside your business.
  2. Logo Photos: These help customers identify your business when you post updates or reply to reviews.
  3. Cover Photos: These are prominently displayed and serve as a visual representation of your business to potential customers.

Step 4: Adding Your Cover Photo

To add your cover photo, locate the “Cover Photo” option at the bottom of the list. Here, you will have two methods to upload your photo:

  • Select a Photo: Click on this option to open your file explorer. From there, you can choose the photo you want to upload.
  • Drag and Drop: Simply drag your desired photo into the designated area on the webpage.

For this example, we’ll use the drag and drop method. Drag your chosen photo into the upload area, and the system will automatically begin processing it for your profile.

Step 5: Processing and Viewing Your Cover Photo

Once you’ve uploaded your photo, it will be processed before appearing on your business profile. Note that the cover photo may not always appear as the first image on your profile. To verify that your photo has been uploaded successfully, click on the “See Cover Photo” option. This will take you to the photo you just uploaded, allowing you to view it in the context of your business profile.
