How to remove unrelated photos from Google Maps listing

Google has strict regulations regarding the material that users can post on its platform. Any user who notices potentially prohibited content on Google can report that content for review. Google officials will review the content and determine if it should be removed, blocked, or otherwise restricted. 

As a business owner, you should take care to check your Google Maps listing on a regular basis to evaluate all the photos that Google users may have posted there. After all, it is extremely easy for anyone to upload any image to your listing on the Google Maps platform. And any number of these images might reflect negatively on your business and its products/services. 

If you see a photo on your Google Maps listing that violates Google policies, you can flag it for review and request its removal. Just be aware that it may take several days for Google to address your tag and complete the review process. 

Although you can’t guarantee that the photos you tag will ultimately be removed, you will want to do everything possible to control which photos appear on your Google Maps listing and which do not. So if you’re ready to fully optimize your Google Maps photos, follow the simple steps below.
