Logo, photos, and videos

You can upload a logo, photos, and videos to your Yango for Business account. They'll be added to the company profile in Yango Maps. You can divide photos into categories or reorder them.

High-quality photos and videos attract user attention. Users are more likely to trust these businesses: they can view the photos and videos to see the company's interior, find it on the map, and check what products it offers.

Add at least three photos to get the Verified icon.

If you divide photos into categories, users will only see the pictures they are interested in (for example, photos of dishes or the building entrance). The more photos you upload, the more likely it is that customers will decide to visit.

In the About the business → Photos and videos section, each category is displayed in a separate block. The number of categories depends on the type of business. Main categories:

  • Logo: An image, emblem, or symbol of your company.

  • Accessibility: Photos of ramps, elevators, passageways, public bathrooms, and anything else that can help people with disabilities, the elderly, and parents with strollers understand how accessible the place is for them.

  • Entrance: Photos of the entrance and landmarks customers can use to find your business.

  • Interior: Photos of the interior. In Yango Maps, this category is also called Interior.

  • Exterior: The exterior of the company building. In Yango Maps, this category is also called Exterior.

Go to the block with the category you're looking for and click Upload photo.

Change the video cover image

Video cover image is an image that shows what the video is about. Users see it before the video player starts. An engaging cover that reflects the content of the video will attract users who see your profile in Yango Maps, encouraging them to watch the video.

When a video is uploaded, the default cover is a random frame. In Yango for Business, any company representative can change the cover of any video, whether uploaded by a company representative or a Yango Maps user.
