Business Profile video takes 24-48 hours to show: plan the clip early
Google says Business Profile photos and videos can take 24 to 48 hours to appear; clips run up to 30 seconds and 75 MB at 720p or higher. A restaurant plan.
Google's Business Profile help says it can take up to 24 to 48 hours for photos and videos to show on a profile. If a restaurant wants a clip live for Friday night, upload it by Wednesday, not Friday afternoon.
The same page gives the file limits: up to 30 seconds, up to 75 MB, 720p or higher.
Google's limits, as read today
These come from Google's Business Profile photos and videos help page.
| Rule | Value on the page |
|---|---|
| Length | up to 30 seconds |
| File size | up to 75 MB |
| Resolution | 720p or higher |
| Time to appear | up to 24 to 48 hours |
| Photo standard | no significant alterations or excessive filters; should represent reality |
A build plan with Omni and Timeline
Three Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 clips of 10 seconds each, at 720p (the minimum Google accepts), cost $3.75 on Sume. Join them in Timeline for $0.10 and the output is 30 seconds, which is the ceiling. Total: $3.85.
Do not stop at the minimum if the clip will be seen on a phone in a dark room. 1080p for the same three clips is $5.625 plus $0.10, so $5.73.
A timing plan
Work backwards from the day you want the clip visible.
- Day 0: the clip must be live. Allow up to 48 hours before it.
- Day minus 3: upload the final file.
- Day minus 4: finish review of the generated clips against your own photos.
- Day minus 5: submit the Omni jobs, with time for a retry.
Check before you upload
Look at the file size of what you download. Sume does not report it against the 75 MB limit, and a 30-second clip at higher resolution is the likeliest to cross it. Length is the other check: 30 seconds is a hard ceiling, so keep Timeline's audio.duration_seconds at 30 or below.
The Photo standard row is about photos. For a clip, apply the same test: does it represent the room, the food and the staff as they are? A generated dining room that does not exist is the opposite of that. Use your own photos as first frames.
Rates are the Sume card on 2026-10-07. Read pricing_skus from GET /v1/videos/models before you budget, because the live card wins over this page.
