There are two methods of uploading images to GMB through LocalClarity; If only a few images are needed to be uploaded, then the best way to do so would be through single upload. However, if multiple images need to be uploaded for any number of locations, then utilizing bulk image upload would be better.
Single Image Upload
In Manage Locations, opening a location panel will allow you to upload an image directly to that location's GMB page. You can upload your image straight to LocalClarity for upload and select the image type. Images should be live on the account within 10-15 minutes.
Bulk Image Upload
To upload images in bulk we must download our guide file, which is pre-populated with dummy data. The dummy data serves as a guide to follow as it is correctly formatted and built out.
To download this file, we will go to Manage Locations > Manage Bulk Activity > Bulk Upload Image > Download a Sample CSV
Once that downloads and opens, you'll be able to replace the dummy data with your own.
Steps to build a bulk sheet:
Each new row is required to have the Location ID. Storecode and Location Name can be used but are optional fields, as they are moreso for identification while structuring the file.
We use the Location ID as our primary method of identifying different locations through bulk uploads.
Using a publicly accessible image, begin adding those links below the appropriate image category columns.
Save as a CSV and upload in the application. Images may take around 10-15 minutes to finish uploading.
The status of an upload can be checked in Image Upload History, which is located within the Manage Bulk Activity drop-down.
