Settings → Social & gallery: links and work gallery
Every box on the Social & gallery tab: eight social links with Show and Test, the live preview and the 60-photo work gallery.
On this page
Open the Contractor Hub, choose Settings, pick the Business group and the Social & gallery tab. This tab holds your eight social and review links, a live preview of how they look to homeowners, and a Work gallery of your best photos. Only approved contractor accounts use it.
Before you start
- The full web addresses (or @names) of the pages you already have.
- Photos of finished work, if you want a gallery. The gallery depends on your plan (which plan includes it is a placeholder assignment, not approved). Without it, the Work gallery card shows a locked note instead of the Add button.
Fields
Social links card
Every network has the same three controls: a link box, a Show tick box and a Test button. Links are shown in this order. Where space is tight (the Find a Contractor card) the first three switched-on links are shown. Your page, proposals and invoices show all of them. Every plan includes every network.

Steps
- Open Settings → Business → Social & gallery.
- In Google Business Profile, paste the full link to your profile.
- For Facebook, Instagram, Houzz, YouTube and TikTok you may type your @name; for Nextdoor and LinkedIn paste the full link.
- Leave Show ticked for the links you want visible. Untick the rest.
- Press Save social links. Fix any red message and save again.
- Press Test next to a link to confirm it opens the right page.
- In Work gallery, press Add a photo and choose your best finished jobs.
Tips
- Put your best three networks first by filling them in; the first three switched on appear on your Find a Contractor card.
- Unticking Show is better than deleting a link if you may want it back.
- Photos should show finished work, not before photos of customers’ faces or house numbers.
If something goes wrong
- A red message appears under a link. The address does not match that network. Copy the address from your browser bar on that network’s page.
- Test says to save first. The box holds an @name, not a full link. Save, then test.
- No Add a photo button. Your plan does not include the gallery. The card says so.
- Too many photos. Remove one, then add again.
