How it works

Upload your GMB photo

Drop your current Google My Business photo into EditThisPic. Works with storefront shots, interior photos, product displays, or team pictures. Phone photos, old pictures, anything you currently have published.

Expect: Simple fixes (lighting, background): 15-25 seconds. Complex transformations: may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe what's wrong and what you want

Type 'remove the clutter from background and make it look professional' or 'fix the dark lighting to look bright and welcoming like a real business.' Be specific about the problem. The AI understands business context—'make it look trustworthy for customers' or 'remove the mess and create clean storefront look.'

Tip: Mention customer perception: 'make it look inviting' or 'create professional first impression' helps the AI understand business goals.

Review for local search impact

Check that the photo looks professional and trustworthy. Verify lighting is bright and welcoming. Ensure backgrounds are clean without distractions. Your GMB photos directly impact whether people choose you over competitors in local search.
Refine if needed

If specific areas need work—edge cleanup, lighting adjustments, removing remaining clutter—tap markers on those spots and regenerate. Most business photos work on the first try.

Tip: Google recommends 3+ high-quality photos per business category. Create variations—exterior, interior, products, team.

"Fixed all 12 GMB photos in one afternoon. Got more 'direction' clicks and calls that week than the previous month. Looked like a real business, not someone's garage." @LocalPlumberPro

If something looks off

AI removed part of signage or important branding

Why: If your signage blends with clutter, the AI may have removed it along with background mess.

Try: remove only the clutter and trash, keep all business signage and branding intact and clear

Try This →

Tip: For signs, add 'preserve business name and logo clearly visible' to your prompt.

Lighting looks fake or over-brightened

Why: Very dark photos that get heavily brightened can look artificially lit.

Try: enhance lighting naturally to look like a sunny day, keep realistic shadows and depth

Try This →

Tip: Mention 'natural lighting' or 'like a sunny day' to avoid the over-processed look.

Background replacement looks obviously edited

Why: Complex backgrounds with multiple elements can be hard to replace seamlessly.

Try: blur the messy background instead of removing it, keep edges natural

Try This →

Tip: Blurring messy backgrounds is often more natural than complete replacement for storefronts.

Photo looks too perfect and fake

Why: Too many enhancements stacked can make the photo look unrealistic.

Try: enhance only the specific problem: lighting OR background, keep photo looking real

Try This →

Tip: Customers expect real photos. Fix the obvious problems but keep authentic texture and details.

AI changed the wrong part of the photo

Why: Vague descriptions like 'fix the background' can be ambiguous when there's both exterior and interior visible.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area to fix, then regenerate with clear description of that exact spot

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS specific area.' Use them when description alone is unclear.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before describing what to fix?

No! Just describe the problem: 'remove the clutter from sidewalk' or 'fix dark lighting.' The AI understands business photo context. Only use markers if the AI needs help identifying which specific area you mean—like 'remove this trash bin' when there are multiple objects.

How do bad GMB photos hurt my local search ranking?

Google's local algorithm considers photo quality and quantity. Businesses with high-quality, professional photos get more clicks, which signals relevance to Google. Poor photos reduce click-through rates, which can lower your ranking. Customers also judge legitimacy—bad photos make them scroll to competitors. Professional photos directly increase calls, directions, and website visits.

Can I use these enhanced photos on Google My Business?

Yes. Google's photo guidelines prohibit excessive filters or major alterations that misrepresent your business. EditThisPic creates realistic enhancements—removing clutter, fixing lighting, cleaning backgrounds. These are legitimate improvements that show your business at its best without misrepresentation. Avoid adding elements that don't exist (fake products, false features).

What types of GMB photos should I fix first?

Priority order: (1) Main storefront/exterior—first impression in search results, (2) Interior showing cleanliness and professionalism, (3) Products or services in action, (4) Team photos showing real people. Google recommends at least 3 photos per business category. Focus on photos that build trust and show you're a real, active business.

Should I remove customers or people from GMB photos?

Depends. Photos with happy customers using your service build social proof—keep them. Random strangers, employees doing non-work activities, or people blocking your storefront—remove them. Ask for permission before publishing recognizable customer faces. Team photos showing your staff are valuable for building trust.

How many photos should I upload to Google My Business?

Google recommends at least 3 photos for most business types. Top-performing businesses have 10-30 photos showing: exterior, interior, products/services, team, and customer experiences. More high-quality photos correlate with higher engagement (calls, directions, website clicks). Upload variations—different angles, times of day, seasonal updates.
