Show visitors the real beauty of your area
Your parks, heritage sites, and town centres are stunning — but on Google, they’re represented by blurry tourist snapshots. PlaceSnap fixes that without needing any technical expertise.
The Problem
The problem you face
Your professional photos sit unused
You commissioned beautiful photography of your parks and civic spaces, but it never makes it onto Google where millions of people actually look.
Public places have no Google Business Profile
Parks, reserves, and town squares have no upload API. There is no official way to manage how these places appear on Google Maps.
Bad photos undermine tourism and investment
When Google shows blurry, unflattering images of your area, it sends the wrong message to visitors, investors, and prospective residents.
