How to remove customer added photos from your Google my business profile

You might have found photos in your Google My Business profile that don’t represent your business or that you did not add and did not like. The next thing that comes to your mind is to delete it.
But Google has made the process hard. One would expect that as the business owner, you should have control over contents that claim to represent your business.
Google however, for some reason have decided that you cannot control contents that represent your business and so, anybody including your adversaries can try to hurt your business by adding wrong or bad information to your business profile on Google.
We have also experienced addition of wrong photos to our business profile and in the process of removing it, we found out its not as easy as just clicking the delete button, hence this post.
To remove a bad photo, follow this steps according to Google:

  1. Tap Photos and then Find the photo you want to remove.
  2. At the top, on the right, tap Report a problem Report a problem.
  3. Select the type of violation you want to report and then Tap Submit.

It will then take some days before Google may decide to remove such photos or leave it to continue making you unconfortable.
