What Images Should I Send for my restaurant to add on My Google & Other Listings?

To make your business listings look professional and attractive to new customers, we ask you to provide high-quality images that represent your brand. Here’s exactly what we need and why:

πŸ“Œ Why Images Matter

Photos are the first thing customers notice when they find your business on Google, Yelp, or Maps. Listings with quality photos:

  • Get more clicks & calls

  • Rank higher in local search

  • Build trust with first-time customers
