# Add media to a Google Business Profile location

> Attaches one photo or video to a location's public profile under the given category. media takes exactly one item in the same form the publishing endpoints accept: a stored media library id (source_type media_id), a public URL (url), or a reference to bytes you uploaded to Google yourself (platform_attachment_id). SocialAPI resolves a library id and hands Google a URL to fetch, and derives the photo or video format from the stored file, so you never set Google's own upload fields. Google limits a location to 10 edits per minute, and that limit cannot be raised.
