Leaving a review on Google is a simple yet powerful gesture: it helps others make better choices and gives visibility to deserving businesses. But adding a photo to your Google review? That’s even more effective. In this article, you’ll learn how to upload images to Google reviews, why it’s worth doing, and what to watch out for to avoid issues with Google’s content policies.
A Google review with photos is far more credible and eye-catching than one without. It shows authenticity and gives instant visual context to other users. Reviews with pictures:
1. Sign in to your Google account
Make sure you’re logged into the Google account you want to use.
2. Find the business
Search for the business on Google Maps or Google Search.
3. Write your review
Click “Write a review.” You’ll see the star rating and a text box.
4. Add a photo
Below the text field, you’ll find “Add photos.” Click it and select images from your device.
5. Publish
Once you’ve written your review and attached photos, click Post.
If you run a local business, encouraging your customers to upload photos in their reviews can significantly improve your profile’s visibility and trustworthiness.
