How to Upload and Auto-Post Media to Google Business Profile with GLocal


The Photo & Video Poster in GLocal allows you to automatically publish photos and videos to your Google Business Profile on a schedule.

You can upload media to your Media Library, set how often photos and videos should be posted, and let GLocal automatically publish them to your business profile.


This tutorial explains how to upload media, configure the posting schedule, and manage your Google Business Profile photos and videos inside GLocal.



Photo & Video Poster


The Photo & Video Poster tab allows you to automatically publish photos and videos to your Google Business Profile on a schedule.



  1. Media Library


At the top right you can see the total number of media files stored in your library.


  • Photos – Total uploaded images
  • Videos – Total uploaded videos


These files are used for automatic posting based on your schedule.


Once media is uploaded, it is stored in your Media Library and can be automatically published by the Photo & Video Poster according to your posting schedule.



  1. Posting Frequency, Time, and Timezone


You can control how often photos and videos are automatically posted to your Google Business Profile.


The same frequency options apply to both Photo Posting Frequency and Video Posting Frequency.


Frequency options:


  • Per day – Media will be posted every day according to the selected number. Example: 1 photo per day or 1 video per day.
  • Per week – Media will be posted weekly. Example: 3 photos per week or 1 video per week.
  • Per month – Media will be posted monthly. Example: 5 photos per month or 2 videos per month.


Posting Time:


The Time setting defines the exact time when photos or videos will be published.

Example: If the time is set to 09:00 AM, GLocal will publish the media at 9:00 AM according to the selected frequency.


Timezone:


The Timezone setting ensures posts are published according to the correct local time for your business location.

Example: If your business is located in Tenerife, you may select Atlantic/Canary so posts are published at the correct local time.


Posting Schedule Summary:


This section shows a quick overview of your automatic posting configuration.


Example: 1 photo per day · 1 video per week


This helps you quickly confirm your posting schedule.



  1. Upload Media


In this section you can upload photos and videos that will be used by the Photo & Video Poster.


Choose Media


Click Choose or drag and drop files into the upload area to select photos or videos from your computer.

The selected files will appear in the list before uploading.


Media Status Indicators


Each file shows information such as:


  • Image or video resolution
  • File size
  • Video duration (for videos)

Supported file types: JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MOV

Maximum file size: 100 MB per file


Color indicators help you understand if the file is acceptable:


  • Green labels – The media file is valid and ready to upload.
  • Red labels – The media file does not meet the required format or limits.


Upload


Click Upload to send the selected media files to GLocal.

Once uploaded:


  • The files will be stored in your Media Library
  • The storage usage (in MB/GB) will increase accordingly
  • The media becomes available for automatic posting


Cancel


Click Cancel to remove all selected files and stop the upload process before the media is uploaded.


Once uploaded, the media will be stored in your Media Library and can be used later when creating scheduled posts, photo updates, or video posts for your Google Business Profile.

The counter in the top-right corner shows how much storage you have used.


This means:

  • 17.04 MB - Current media files waiting to be uploaded (pending upload)
  • 386.65 MB - Storage currently used by uploaded photos and videos
  • 50 GB - The total storage available on your plan


If you delete media files, the storage will automatically be freed and available again.


The total available storage depends on your subscription plan:


  • Starter – 1 GB media storage
  • Professional – 10 GB media storage
  • Business – 20 GB media storage
  • Agency – 50 GB media storage


  1. Media Library and Scheduled Posts


After uploading your photos or videos, they appear in the Media Library inside the Photo/Video Poster.

Each media item is displayed as a card that shows its scheduling status and available actions.


Scheduled Media


If a photo or video already has a publishing date assigned, it will display a Scheduled label in the top corner of the media card.

Below the media preview you will see the scheduled publishing date and time.


Example:

Scheduled at: Apr 13, 2026, 11:00 AM


This means the media will automatically be posted to your Google Business Profile at the selected time.


Media Type Selection


Each media item includes a dropdown where you can choose the type of content you want to publish.

Selecting the correct type helps Google categorize the media correctly on your Business Profile.


Available Actions


Each media card provides several quick actions:


  1. Preview - Opens a preview of the media before publishing.
  2. Post Now - Immediately publishes the media to your Google Business Profile instead of waiting for the scheduled time.
  3. Delete Icon - Removes the media item from the Media Library.



  1. Media Library Filters


At the top of the Media Library you will find several filters that help you manage large media libraries.


These filters allow you to quickly locate specific media files based on type, category, or publishing status.


Filter by Media Type


The Media Type filter allows you to display only certain types of media.


Examples:


• All Media Types

• Photos

• Videos


This makes it easier to manage video content separately from photos.



Filter by Media Category


The Media Categories filter allows you to display media based on its assigned category.


Examples include:

• Additional

• Profile

• Menu

• Interior

• Exterior

• Product

• Teams

• At Work

• and many more


This helps you quickly review or manage specific types of visual content for your Business Profile.



Filter by Media Status


The Media Status filter allows you to manage media based on its publishing status.

Available statuses include:


  1. Scheduled- Media that will be posted automatically at the selected date and time.
  2. Live- Media that has already been successfully published to your Google Business Profile.
  3. Failed- Media that could not be published due to an error.


This filter is useful when reviewing upcoming posts or troubleshooting publishing issues.
