Google MyBusiness Profile Pictures not Showing
-
Can someone tell me why some search profiles in maps don't show the profile image? Meaning the business has pictures in their profiles, including their main profile, its at 100% completion and the audience is not age restricted and the images still don't show?
Attached is an example (not my clients but you can see what happens)
I appreciate any ideas!
Thanks

Thanks so much for saying so, Tom, and glad to hear you're feeling better. I don't travel much, so I don't have anything scheduled, but thanks for asking. Have a good weekend!

Hi Miriam,
Yes i'm feeling 1 million times better thank you for asking.
Are you attending any events this year?
By the way great info on the Google local updates in so many posts I've read from you. I am really impressed.
All the best,
Thomas

Hey Tom,
Hope you're feeling better! Sadly, I was not at LocalU. Hope you have fun at the upcoming events.

Hi Linda,
I am sorry to hear that.
Yes I had unexpectedly had to do the root canal fun times so I was not able to monitor anything to be honest with you guys. But I have a client who has returned absolutely ecstatic from it so I am very happy about this.
we can talk about the same thing now it's awesome.
I will be at searchlove & mozcon
Hope to see you at one,
Tom

Hi Thomas,
Sorry about the root canal. I didn't go. Have back problems and can't travel. So I stayed here and covered all the news via Twitter. Have heard nothing but rave reviews!
Miriam, did you go?
-
Hi Miriam & Linda,
amazing I did not expect to see what I found there.
Did you both attend localU I had a root canal issue and was unable to attend unfortunately but I did have a client go who absolutely loved it. I wish I could've seen you there.
All the best,
Thomas

Thanks Miriam.
It's buried in a thread on another topic, but shows screenshots of the same problem described here.

Hey Linda -
My mistake, then - I had assumed MM would be better the GMB for a maps-based issue. Please, feel free to link to your forum thread about this, as it could be very helpful for Mgordon. So helpful to know you may be seeing a new, emerging issue there. Thank you for taking the time to share this

Miriam, MM guys usually won't deal with GMB issues at all. If it's a problem in the GMB dashboard, then I think it's GMB support you should call.
But I started getting reports at my forum about that exact same missing image problem today. Many of my users said when they checked the listing, their images had mysteriously been moved to a "scrapbook" folder in the photos tab.
One of my users said: "I have also noticed with a few clients that pics that were directly on the GMB page were relocated to a "scrapbook" folder in the photos tab. Not sure why, but some of them seem to be going back and forth on the GMB page."
So I think something is up with images. I'm pretty sure support will tell you it's a technical problem and they are working on it. I plan to ask Google local management tomorrow and will try to remember to report back here if I find out anything.

Hey there!
If you discover that your images already meet Google's requirements, this is one I'd take to the Mapmaker forum:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/map-maker
You'll need to be able to reveal the actual account details there, of course, so that the RERs can take a look at what you're seeing. Without being able to see the result, this may be hard to diagnose.

Google has cracked down on low quality photographs they want photos that are 2000 pixels wide the smallest can get away with his 500 pixels
"min 500x500 px. For best results, add photos that are at least 2,000 px wide and no wider than 2:1 ratio."
_ See the bottom of the URL referenced from _https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038221
This is what Google recommends for their my business which must also be approved and you should have no less than 10 photographs of relevant pictures regarding what your company does and especially of your business.
more helpful hints

Our website ranks first in SERP but is not listed in google local list
Hi, Our website is currently (and has been) ranking 1st for a number of keywords but is not listed under the Google Local list. I have double check that all the (physical) info is correct. I do not have a duplicate page. When I order the Google Local results in rating order, we then appear on top! Has anyone come across such a situation and would you have tips on how to solve this issue? Thanks!

Maps: How to get business showing for [keyword] + [location]
Hi there, I'd like to know how to improve a business listing so that it shows up not only when people type in the company name but also when they type in keywords related to that company. Say the company is a yacht broker based in Portsmouth. How would I get their listing to show in Google Maps when people search for: 'yacht broker' (when Google knows their location is near Portsmouth) and 'yacht broker portsmouth' or 'yacht broker hampshire'. Many thanks.

Business Name Not Showing Up in Google's Maps
I have a client whose name in not currently showing up on Google maps. Their business location only shows once their name or related keywords are searched, but their business name does not show when you only look for it on the map regardless of how far zoomed in you are to the actual location. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or knows of a way to fix this. I have already contacted Google multiple times, and they told me that “business’ names are just randomly pulled”. The client is an HVAC store front business with good rankings and a fully optimized Google profile, so these reasons did not answer the issue. Client’s GMB profile: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=rothheating oak creeek&oq=rothheating oak creeek&rlz=1C1JPGB_enUS685US685&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.5919j0j4 DBZfF

How do I treat multiple buildings on the same college campus on Google for local SEO?
Should I delete them? Simply give them a different address like "City, State, Zip"? I see the benefit of having key buildings on campus in Google Maps, but I don't want those to affect my accuracy score and, thus, my local rankings for SEO.

How does Google Local Insights report impressions for multiple mappack listings (same company) showing up for one query?
I had a client ask me a difficult question about impression reporting via Google Local Insights. Lets say a client is a popular ice cream chain and somebody does a local brand search for "San Francisco Exotic Tasty Ice" and three locations for the same company all show up in the Google Local Pack. Does each one of these locations receive their own impression via Google Local Insights? Or does Google just count this as one impression for one location altogether? Logically speaking I would think that each location would get its own impression in the insights report. However I'm wondering if there is anything to negate that. Any feedback is appreciated.

Google is associating the wrong address with my website in SERPs
I've dealt with submitting address change information to Google (and Yelp, YP, etc.) when they have somehow scraped the wrong address or phone number. This is a little different. I work for the parent company with multiple companies of similar names making up the family of companies. What's happening is that people are searching for one of our companies (Lynden Transport) and getting the correct website results to pop up, but the address/phone # shown below the URL and in the local results screen is for one of our other companies (LTI, Inc.). Customers should be seeing a Fife, WA address but instead are seeing one for Lynden, WA. I've attached a marked up screenshot to better those what is happening. At least customers are generally finding their way to our company but it's causing quite a headache for our customer service reps and customers as they get transferred back and forth on the phone, and confusion for customers unfamiliar with our office locations. I've clicked on the "Send Feedback" link at the bottom of Google and explained what was happening, but beyond that I'm not sure what to do. The information presented isn't wrong, it's just being associated with the wrong company. It seems like a Google logic error and not something I can control or edit. Any ideas? moz-ltia.jpg
