Steps
Complete Business Profile API basic setup and OAuth 2.0 credentialing for the account managing the location.
To upload from a hosted URL, POST to .../locations/{locationId}/media with mediaFormat 'PHOTO', a locationAssociation category, and the sourceUrl of the photo.
Alternatively, to upload raw bytes, call locations/{locationId}/media:startUpload to get a resourceName, upload the image bytes to the returned upload path, then call media Create again referencing that resourceName.
Confirm the new media item appears by listing the location's media afterward.
Repeat per photo pair (before/after) for each completed job the business wants to showcase.
Known gotchas
Uploading media into a Local Post (rather than directly to the location) only supports the source-URL method, not the raw-bytes upload flow.
Access is gated behind the same quota-approval process as the rest of the Business Profile APIs, so this can't be wired up without an approved Cloud project.
