Step 1 — Navigate to the Photo Scheduler

Open the client's GBP location in LeadSnap, click "Photos" in the left navigation, then click "Add/Schedule Photos."


Step 2 — Upload Your Images

On the photo scheduler page, drag and drop all approved images into the "Upload your images" box. You can upload them all at once.

Wait for every image to finish uploading completely before moving on — do not close the page or navigate away during the upload.

Step 3 — Assign a Google Category to Each Image

Every image requires a Google category. You have two options:

  • Bulk: Use the category dropdown at the top of the image list to apply one category to all images at once.

  • Individual: Click each image and assign its category one at a time.

Common categories include Exterior, Interior, At Work, Team, Product, and Food & Drink. When in doubt, use "Additional" — it's the most versatile option.

Step 4 — Rename Each Image File

Rename each image using relevant keywords and geo-modifiers. Follow these conventions:

  • Use hyphens between words, all lowercase, no spaces

  • Incorporate location modifiers from your service areas

  • Spread keywords across images — avoid repeating the same keyword on consecutive images

Step 5 — Add a Metadata Description

In the Keywords field, write one clear sentence describing what the image shows, naturally incorporating one or two keywords and a location.

Example: Licensed plumber completing a water heater installation in Austin TX

Avoid keyword stuffing — a single well-written sentence will always outperform a list of terms.

Step 6 — Geo-Tag Each Image

Use the geo-tagging field to embed GPS coordinates into each image. To choose the right coordinates, run a heatmap in LeadSnap for your target keywords and identify areas scoring 4–5. Tag your images to those coordinates to strengthen the edges of your current ranking zone.

Step 7 — Set the Drip Schedule

Click "Drip Photos" and set the posting cadence to 1 image every 3 days. Review the schedule and note the final post date — you'll need new images loaded before that date to keep the drip running continuously.

Step 8 — Save the Schedule

Click "Save" at the bottom right. Confirm the schedule saved successfully by verifying that each image displays a scheduled post date.
