Google MyBusiness Profile Pictures not Showing

[MiriamEllis]

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.

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 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

Thanks Miriam.

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

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

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?

[BlueprintMarketing]

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

Hey Tom,

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

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

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!
