Business covers introduce the shop to the block—keep them real
Nextdoor business pages help local shops, contractors, and services show up for nearby neighbors. The cover is a short 3:1 strip (practical 1200×400)—closer to a thin page banner than to a tall Facebook cover.
Neighbors trust recognizable storefronts, teams, and simple marks. Over-produced national ad art can feel out of place next to hyperlocal recommendations. Prefer a clear photo of the real place or a clean logo lockup.
Feed posts (practical 1200×628) carry offers and updates. Stretching a post into the cover (or the reverse) misplaces the hero. Keep both exports.
Facebook and Google Business photos can be starters. Re-crop for Nextdoor’s shorter strip and preview the live business page.
Good vs weak crop
Same header strip—keep the avatar pocket clear and the subject in the open band.
Clear local business strip
- True 1200×400 frame
- Recognizable storefront or mark
- Readable on phone business pages
Wrong ratio or fake stock
- Post card stretched into the banner
- Generic stock that could be any city
- Critical type on the extreme edges

What neighbors look for on a business cover
The cover should answer who you are and where you are in one glance. Save menus, price lists, and long promotions for posts or the page description.
- Show the real storefront, van, or team when possible.
- Keep seasonal swaps on the same 3:1 habit.
- Match color to your logo without crowding the strip.
Business cover vs Nextdoor post vs Facebook
Posts announce; covers brand. Facebook covers are often a different height—re-crop instead of stretch.
- Nextdoor post — 1200 × 628
