Google is telling LSA advertisers this starting in October. Headshots become optional and no longer affect ad serving.
Photos, reviews and the rest of the ad stay the same.
The notice mainly hits lawyers, who could previously feature individual professionals from their firm. Some law firm listings already appeared without headshots a few weeks ago.
The linked help page doesn't mention the change yet.
