Uploading images and videos to your Google Business Profile regularly is extremely important — and that’s exactly why Paige makes this easy and automated.

Google rewards consistency, not one-time upload bursts. So instead of uploading everything at once, Paige optimizes your media and then drips it out over time to your Google Business Profile (and other citations if you enable them).

In short: you upload → Paige does the heavy lifting → Google sees consistent, high-quality activity.


What Paige Does Automatically for Images 📸

When you upload an image to Paige, here’s what happens behind the scenes:

  • Image scanning: Paige analyzes the image to understand what it’s about

  • SEO-friendly file naming: The image is renamed using a smart combination of your keywords + what’s in the photo

  • Meta description: Paige writes an SEO-optimized image description targeting your keywords and important cities

  • Geo-tagging: The image is geo-tagged to a random lat/long from the audit area you selected during setup (unless your device already geo-tagged it)

Paige makes sure every image is as SEO-friendly as possible without you needing to do anything extra.


Where Your Images Are Used

Images uploaded to Paige aren’t just for one thing — they’re reused intelligently across your marketing:

  • ✅ Google Business Profile Media section

  • ✅ Google Business Profile Posts

  • Videos that Paige creates for you

Once uploaded, your images will appear in a queue on this tab, where Paige schedules and publishes them based on your settings.


Starter Content (Already Done for You)

To help you get started right away, Paige automatically pulled in 25 of your most recent images from your Google Business Profile.

These are used as starter content for:

  • Posts

  • Videos

This keeps things running until you add more of your own images.


Trust Paige vs Custom Frequency

You can choose how often images are published.

Trust Paige (Recommended)

This option uses data-backed automation created by our data science team.

For images:

  • If you have enough images, Paige publishes one every day

  • If you don’t have at least a week’s worth in the queue images are scheduled every two days with a +1 / -1 day wobble, meaning they may post every 1–3 days

This wobble makes activity look more natural and less automated to Google. Trust Paige frequencies change dynamically as our data scientists analyze what’s working best.

Set a Custom Frequency For Uploading Images

If you want full control:

  1. Turn off Trust Paige

  2. Choose Set Custom Setting

  3. Select your preferred posting frequency


Uploading Videos 🎥

You can also upload videos to Paige.

Important things to know:

  • Videos must be 45 seconds or less (Google limitation)

  • Videos uploaded to Paige:

    • ✅ Are added to your Google Business Profile media section

    • ❌ Are not used inside Paige-created videos or posts

If a video exceeds 45 seconds, it will be rejected automatically.
