Not leveraging Google My Business marketing for your business can be one of the biggest mistakes you may make as a business owner. This platform is one of the best and most effective mediums for generating awareness about your business.

Moreover, using the right type of images and videos in your GMB profile can be extremely transformative. It can unlock a huge opportunity to engage, entice, and convert your audience into a customer.

Getting your message across in today’s fast-paced, digitally saturated, and highly competitive landscape can be tough.

In short, using Google My Business marketing for your enterprise isn’t an option; it’s a necessity.

So, are you ready to supercharge your local marketing with visual craft? Let’s learn about how and why it’s done.

Prerequisite for Adding Photos and Videos to Your GMB Profile

First things first, you must complete all the steps to verify your Google My Business account. A verified GMB account is crucial for gaining full control over your profile. It allows you to access, review, and edit detailed information about your enterprise. Moreover, it’s one of the prerequisites for adding photos and videos to your GMB profile.

And when it comes to Google Maps marketing, the maxim “a picture is worth a thousand words” sounds truer than ever! The photos and videos you choose to add to your local maps marketing profile can be quite growth-inducing and transformative.

They’re an excellent way to highlight your business’s values, offerings, and USP without overburdening the audience with lots of textual information. These images and videos also help a GMB profile rank higher as they’re picked by Google’s Images and Videos result pages more quickly.

Before we dive into how you can add photos and videos to your GMB profile and its benefits, let’s check out some interesting statistics about Google My Business SEO:

  • 45% of the businesses effectively leveraging local map SEO marketing get guaranteed appointment/sales requests through GMB.
