Having decent photos to showcase your business is vital for the success of any Directory listing.
Why are images crucial?
Business listings with high-quality images receive significantly more enquiries than those without photos, those with poor-quality images, or those that rely on generic stock photos.
When potential customers can see attractive, authentic pictures of your products, services and team, it builds instant trust and confidence in your business. In a competitive market, professional images that showcase your business at its best can be the deciding factor that sets you apart and converts browsers into customers.
How many images can I upload?
You are entitled to up to 5 images with a Silver listing and 10 images with a Gold listing, so make sure you use them all.
What are the dimensions?
- Orientation: Images that are landscape (horizontal) rather than portrait (vertical) in orientation look best in the slideshow.
- Dimensions: 600 pixels (wide) x 400 pixels (high)
- Format: JPG
- Size: Under 100kb.
-
File name: Use your business name (e.g., Business-Name-01.jpg) with no special characters like $#@&*
What images should I choose?
The power of high-quality photos cannot be underestimated, as they are the hero for your business and bring your product or service to life.
- Corporate headshots of your team
- Staff in action
- Service area (e.g. reception, waiting rooms, consulting rooms)
- Products you sell
- Awards
- Logo
Why didn't my images upload to my Directory?
It's probably because:
- They were too large, and the system rejected them > Resize to under 100kb
- They were named with special characters > Rename to Letters and Numbers only
- They were the wrong file type > Resave as a JPG.
