# How do I add images to my Directory listing?
## Having high-quality photos to showcase your business is crucial for the success of any Directory listing.
#### **Why are images so important?**
Business listings with high-quality images receive significantly more enquiries than those without photos, with poor-quality images, or using generic stock photos.
When potential customers can see attractive, authentic pictures of products, services, and team members, it builds instant trust and confidence. In a competitive market, professional images that showcase a business at its best can be the deciding factor that converts browsers into paying customers.
Think of it this way: North Shore Mums readers are scrolling through dozens of business listings. Eye-catching, professional photos make listings stand out, hold attention longer, and give customers a genuine feel for what to expect. Authentic images show that a business takes pride in its presentation and cares about the customer experience – and that makes all the difference.
#### **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 200kb.
- **File name:** Use your business name (e.g., Business-Name-01.jpg) with no special characters like $#@&\*

#### **What images should I choose?**
High-quality photos are the hero of any business listing – they bring products and services to life and help potential customers visualise what to expect.
Consider including:
- **Team photos** – Professional headshots or candid shots of staff in action help customers connect with the people behind the business
- **Your space** – Showcase reception areas, waiting rooms, consulting rooms, treatment spaces, or studio environments so customers know what to expect when they visit
- **Products** – Clear, well-lit images of products for sale, whether that's retail items, handmade goods, or finished work
- **Your work in action** – Show services being delivered, classes in progress, or before-and-after results
- **Credentials** – Display awards, certifications, or qualifications that build credibility
- **Your logo** – A high-resolution version of the business logo for instant brand recognition
Choose images that are clear, well-lit, and authentic to the business. Real photos always perform better than generic stock images.
#### **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 200kb
- They were named with special characters \> Rename to Letters and Numbers only
- They were the wrong file type \> Resave as a JPG.
