If you're posting stock photos to your Google Business Profile, you're actively hurting yourself. Google cross references images. It knows a stock photo of a smiling plumber with a wrench isn't from your job site. And it treats it as a trust signal that you're not a real active business. Take a photo of every single job you complete. Before and after. The van in the driveway. The finished work. Post one a week minimum. The businesses with 50+ real job photos outrank businesses with 200+ reviews in some markets. Google rewards proof that you're actually doing the work.
