Cover Image Guidelines

Quick Answer

Your cover image is an optional banner that appears at the top of your Profile listing page. Unlike your Profile photo (which must be a headshot of you), your cover image can be an office photo, city skyline, branded graphic, or team photo. Upload an image at least 1200×300 pixels for best results.

Overview

The cover image adds visual personality to your listing and helps you stand out. While your Profile photo builds personal trust, your cover image sets the tone and context for your practice. It's completely optional—your listing works fine without one—but a well-chosen cover image can make your profile more memorable.

FAQs

Is a cover image required? No. It's completely optional. Your listing displays normally without one.

Can I use my company logo as the cover image? Yes. Unlike the Profile photo (which must be your headshot), the cover image can include logos, branded graphics, or any professional imagery.

What happens if my image is the wrong size? The system will crop to fit. For best results, use a 4:1 aspect ratio (1200×300 or similar proportions).

Can I use the same cover image on my Organization listing? Yes. You can use the same image across multiple listings if it's appropriate for both.
