When changing your Google+ Photos, you are able to upload larger photos and then drag and crop them using Google’s tools. However knowing these dimensions in advance let’s you pre-plan what photos to use and to make images the correct proportions, especially for logos that are often wider than they are high.

Lastly, make sure to choose captivating and attention grabbing images for your business. Google is already displaying Google+ images in their search results and using the appropriate imagery can grab the searching user’s attention and lead to an increased click-thru rate.
