About PlaceSnap

Making places look their best on Google

When someone searches for a park, a cafe, or a high street on Google, the photos they see are mostly low-quality user snapshots — blurry, badly lit, irrelevant. These images shape first impressions for millions of people every day.

Meanwhile, councils, tourism boards, and businesses have professional photography sitting unused — because there is no simple way to get it onto Google. The process is fragmented, technical, and nobody tracks whether uploaded photos actually appear.

PlaceSnap exists to close that gap. We make it effortless for organisations to see what Google is showing, upload quality replacements, push them through the right channel, and defend them over time.

Our Philosophy

Built for simplicity

Google's ecosystem is complex — Business Profiles, Places API, Maps contributions, photo moderation queues. You shouldn't need to understand any of it. PlaceSnap handles the technical plumbing so you can focus on what matters: making your places look great.

Upload your photos, tag them to places, and we do the rest. For businesses with Google profiles, we push automatically. For public places, our Citizen Photographer Kit turns anyone on your team into a contributor — no app download, no training, three clicks.

And because bad photos creep back, PlaceSnap keeps watching. Our UGC Shield checks your places regularly and alerts you when a low-quality image displaces yours — with a one-click action to re-publish and compete for the top position.
