Latest Update: Google Business Profile Now Shows Photo and Video View Count
Google Business Profile now shows how many views your uploaded photos and videos are getting. That means contractors can finally see which images grab attention and which ones get ignored.
Why does photo view count matter?
Because people buy with their eyes first.
If someone is searching for a carpet cleaner, roofer, painter, or flooring company, they are comparing businesses fast. The company with better before-and-after photos, cleaner job site videos, and proof of real work usually wins the call.
Now you can actually measure engagement.
Here’s what this update helps contractors understand:
- Which photos get the most attention
- What type of videos keep people watching
- Which jobs attract more local customers
- What content helps build trust faster
- Which services people care about most
This also gives contractors a simple content strategy.
If your upholstery cleaning videos get 10x more views than generic photos, post more upholstery cleaning videos. If before-and-after floor cleaning photos perform best, double down on those.
The biggest takeaway?
Your Google Business Profile is no longer just a listing. It’s becoming a social proof platform.
The contractors who consistently upload quality photos and videos will stand out more, build trust faster, and likely generate more calls over time.
