How To Optimize Your (GMB) Listing 

As soon as you've confirmed your GMB business listing, it's important to take the time to completely complete your profile. 
Go to the Google My Business dashboard, click your company listing, select "Info," and after that complete each area as totally as possible. 
Include as much info and media as you can, consisting of a business profile photo, the location you serve, your hours, amenities (i.e. "wheelchair accessible," "complimentary wifi"), year opened, and website URL. 

Google My Business Images 
According to Google, companies with pictures experience a 35% higher click through rate and 42% greater requests for driving instructions in Google Maps. 
Images need to be at least 720 pixels width by 720 pixels high and JPG or PNG files. 
Here are a few images that you will absolutely want to include: 
Cover photo 
Your GMB cover picture is undoubtedly important, as it appears plainly on your listing. 
Profile image 
Your profile picture is what appears when you publish new images, videos, or review actions. 

Together with your profile and cover pictures, you must upload other pictures to make your listing more informative and engaging. Google provides you numerous tips as to classification of images that you may wish to add. More is certainly much better. 
Google My Business Videos 
You can also add videos. Videos need to be: 
• 30 seconds or shorter 
• 100 MB or smaller sized 
• 720p resolution or greater
