After you upload a photo or video, we review it to make sure it meets our photos and videos policies. Here are some statuses you'll find when you upload a media:
- Pending: The media is in either the upload or processing stage, or your profile is currently not verified. Pending media doesn’t show up on Google Search or Maps to customers.
- Not approved: The media is flagged and has violated policies. Since it was flagged, the media doesn't show up on Google Search or Maps.

Troubleshoot logo photo issues
If your logo photo doesn't appear, make sure you've entered all of the necessary info in your Business Profile. This includes:
- Name
- Valid location with a street address
- Categories
- Phone number

If the cover photo you select is low-quality or if other sources suggest that it’s not the best photo to represent your business, a user-submitted photo may be selected instead.
