What Google Business Profile asks for, covered.
Google asks for Business Profile photos that represent reality, with no significant alterations or excessive use of filters or AI, and advises against stock photos and heavily edited images. Herofab images are AI-generated, so they belong on product pages and in ads, not among the photos of the business itself. Products added through the product editor follow the Shopping ads policy.
Real photos for the profile
Google suggests at least three exterior photos, three interior photos and three photos of products, taken as they are.
AI images elsewhere
Herofab images are AI-generated; they suit product pages and ads rather than Business Profile photos.
