What is Nano Banana and what changes in Nano Banana Pro

Before talking about "Pro", it's worth understanding the context.

The original Nano Banana is the codename for the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model, focused on fast photo editing and generating images from text, with good speed and flexibility for the average user.

The Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) is the "next level" version:

• It builds on top of Gemini 3 Pro, with more advanced reasoning and a better understanding of context;
• Generates high-fidelity images, with 2K and 4K options;
• Makes text inside the image much more readable (great for posters, ads, thumbnails, infographics);
• Can mix up to 14 reference images and maintain consistency of up to 5 people in a composition, perfect for campaigns with characters and products.

That's all well and good in technical terms, but what matters for marketing is: less creative limit, more control and less rework.

Before diving into practical use, it's worth seeing side by side where Pro really excels - especially if you create ads, social media pieces or infographics.

Table 01: Nano Banana x Nano Banana Pro (marketing vision).

This comparison provides a simple mind map:

• Nano Banana = ideal for playing around, testing ideas and making quick adjustments.
• Nano Banana Pro = perfect for a professional campaign, with visual consistency, ready-to-go text and fine creative control.

How to use Nano Banana: step-by-step image generation and editing

Now let's get down to what a lot of people type into Google: "how to use nano banana" and "how to use nano banana in Gemini".

The good news is that, although sophisticated, the flow is quite straightforward.

How to use Nano Banana in Gemini (simple step-by-step)

The idea here is to give you a mini-tutorial that works as a "quick answer" for those who just want to get started.

Step-by-step instructions for using Nano Banana Pro in the Gemini app:

1. Open Gemini (web or app).
2. Select the image mode - choose "Create images" and check that the model in use is Thinking (where Nano Banana Pro is available).
3. Enter your image prompt - describe what you want: setting, style, framing, colors, target audience.
4. (Optional) Upload a reference image - for example, a product photo, a team photo or a hand-drawn sketch.
5. Click to generate and wait a few seconds.
6. Ask for adjustments via text - instead of editing pixel by pixel, write "make the background more minimalist", "change the lighting to evening light", "make the headline more readable", etc.
7. Download the final image and use it on social networks, advertisements, emails, blogs, presentations, etc.

This flow applies to both generating images from scratch and editing existing images (e.g. cleaning up backgrounds, changing scenery, generating campaign variations, etc.).

The key point: you don't "draw", you talk to the AI. Nano Banana Pro takes your description, uses the Gemini 3 Pro model to reason about the request and then creates the final image.

Nano Banana prompts: practical examples for digital marketing

One of the biggest difficulties for those starting out is: "What do I write in the prompt?".

First of all, it's important to reinforce a concept: a good Nano Banana prompt is almost a mini briefing - the clearer it is about the objective, audience, style and context, the more "professional" the image will look.

Examples of Nano Banana Pro prompts for digital marketing

Below are some templates that you can adapt to your niche. Focus on the elements in bold to personalize.

• Ad for paid traffic (physical product)

"Create a 4K image of a minimalist scene with a light background, showing [your product] highlighted on a light wooden surface.

Studio style photography, soft side light, soft shadows.

Add a short headline in Portuguese, legible, in the top corner: '[main benefit in a few words]'."

Why Nano Banana Pro is so relevant for digital marketing and visual content

Now for the strategic question: why are so many marketers looking at the Nano Banana Pro?

Some data helps to understand the scenario:

• Visual content is 40x more likely to be shared than text only;
• Posts with images can generate hundreds of % more engagement on social networks compared to text-only posts;
• In e-commerce, High-quality images can increase conversions by up to 60%, and 67% of buyers say that the quality of photos is a decisive factor in their purchasing decision.

• Around 45% of marketing teams already use AI-powered image generation in their workflows.

In other words:

1. Visuals rule the game (engagement, clicks, conversions).
2. Most teams are already using AI to accelerate this.

Nano Banana Pro comes into its own:

• It's not just "another image generator";
• It's deeply integrated with the Google ecosystem, Gemini 3 Pro and Google Search, allowing you to create visuals aligned with real data, integrated campaigns and SEO.

For you, in practice, this translates into:

• Faster campaigns to get off the ground;
• Less dependence on long agency or design cycles;
• Possibility of testing more creative variations with the same budget.

Content marketing strategies using Nano Banana Pro

Speaking of content marketing, Nano Banana Pro isn't just about "visual decoration". It can make a difference to the metrics you track every day: CTR, dwell time, landing page conversion, etc.

The logic here is simple: connect the business objective, the type of visual content and the expected result. This way, you don't use AI just "because it's cool", but as part of your strategy.

See the table below for this connection:

Table 02: How to connect Nano Banana Pro to your marketing objectives.

Moral of the story:

• Always use Nano Banana Pro linked to a clear objective;
• Think of it as part of the architecture of your sales funnel, especially at the top (education and discovery), but already preparing the ground for the middle and bottom of the funnel with more specific pieces.

SEO, LLMs and generative AI: how to write for the Google of today (and tomorrow)

You asked for SEO techniques as well as LLM techniques for indexing in searches with artificial intelligence. Let's get straight to the point.

Today, it's not just a classic search algorithm that "reads" your content, but also large language models (LLMs), such as Gemini 3 itself, which feed AI resources into search engines.

In practice, this means that your content needs to work well in two layers:

1. Traditional SEO (keywords, structure, internal links);
2. SEO for AI (semantic clarity, direct questions and answers, rich context).

SEO + LLM best practices for Nano Banana content

The idea is that you can produce texts that appear well in both classic organic results and AI answers (snippets, AI Overviews, etc.).

Good practices for writing content that AI understands well:

• Use questions like H2/H3

E.g.: "What is Nano Banana?", "How to use Nano Banana in Gemini?", "Nano Banana prompts for digital marketing".

This helps both the user and the AI to understand exactly what you are answering.

• Give direct answers in the first paragraph

Right after the question title, answer in 2-3 clear sentences, as we did at the beginning of this text. This is the kind of format that AI usually "pulls" for snippets.

• Spread natural keyword variations

Instead of forcefully repeating "Nano Banana", also use natural variations such as "how to use Nano Banana", "image editing with Nano Banana", "image generation with AI", "Gemini 3 Pro Image model", etc.

• Explain concepts in human language

LLMs tend to prefer clear content, with well-chained explanations, concrete examples and little jargon without context, exactly what also helps your human reader.

• Use well contextualized lists and tables

As we're doing here: lists with explanations before and after, and tables that respond to explicit comparisons, as this makes it easier for the model to summarize its content accurately.

• Tie entities and context well together

Whenever you talk about Nano Banana Pro, remember to mention that it is "built on top of Gemini 3 Pro", that it is a multimodal Google model, etc. This reinforces the semantic relationships that LLMs use to respond.

After the technical part comes something important: content that performs well in AI isn't just "optimized", it's useful, honest and nuanced.

Posts that admit limitations, risks and "it depends" scenarios tend to seem more trustworthy, both to people and to language models.

KEEP LEARNING:

• What Google's 'People Also Ask' is and how it works
• Generative Engine Optimization: what it is and how to optimize content
• How to increase visibility on Google: LLMs and AI to grow with SEO

Limitations, risks and responsible use of Nano Banana Pro

It would be dishonest to talk only about the "magic" part. Every image generator with AI comes with risks, and Nano Banana Pro is no different.

A few important points:

• Possibility of creating sensitive or misleading images

Precisely because the images are "studio quality", the potential for someone to use this for disinformation is real.

To mitigate this, Google is adopting some technical measures:

• SynthID (invisible watermark)

All images generated by Google's tools receive an invisible digital watermark, which helps identify whether the media was created by AI.

• Visible watermark (Gemini icon)

Free users and those on some paid plans receive images with a small visible mark, while users on a more professional level (such as Google AI Ultra or dev environments) can remove this mark to keep the look "clean", keeping only the invisible marking.

For digital marketing, the message is:

• Use Nano Banana Pro to create honest campaigns that don't mislead the consumer about what is real product and what is conceptual art.
• Avoid using generated images as if they were factual records, real testimonials or evidence.
• Maintain a flow of human approval - AI generates faster, but it' s your brand that responds legally.

7-day mini plan: how to get started with Nano Banana Pro in content marketing

Many people get excited about technology, but get lost on "where to start". Let's put together a simple 7-day roadmap, focused on the top of the funnel.

The goal here is that in one week you'll take Nano Banana Pro out of the field of ideas and put at least a few pieces on the air, measuring basic results.

7-day roadmap to start using Nano Banana Pro

• Day 1: Setup and exploration

Access Gemini, test the creation of simple images and understand the quota limitations of your plan.

Create 3 - 4 images just to get to know the style.

• Day 2: Choose a top-of-funnel theme

E.g. "What is AI in marketing?", "How to create visual content faster?", "A beginner's guide to content marketing with AI".

List 2 - 3 blog titles or videos.

• Day 3: Create key visuals

Use Nano Banana Pro to generate a blog cover, YouTube thumbnail or main post image.

Save variations for later tests.

• Day 4: Produce a simple infographic

Turn an informative piece of content (old post, spreadsheet, presentation) into a visual infographic using very detailed prompts.

• Day 5: Adapt for social networks

Take these images and adapt the format and message for Instagram, LinkedIn or TikTok (changing aspect ratio, text and tone).

• Day 6: Publish and track metrics

Compare the performance of the new pieces with previous images: engagement, clicks, time on page, etc.

• Day 7: Adjust and document learnings

Gather what worked (styles, colors, types of prompts) and create an "internal guide" of good practices for your team.

After this cycle, you'll no longer just be thinking "I'll test it one day" and you'll have real data on how Nano Banana Pro impacts your sales funnel.

What Nano Banana Pro changes for you in practice

To sum it all up:

• Nano Banana Pro is Google's AI-powered image generation and editing model, built on Gemini 3 Pro, focused on high-fidelity images, readable text and advanced creative control.
• It's already landing in your day-to-day via Gemini, Google Ads, Workspace and developer tools, allowing you to bring visual production closer to the content and media team.
• In the context of content marketing, digital marketing and SEO, it helps to:
  • increase visual content production without inflating the structure;
  • test more creative in less time;
  • create consistent experiences on blogs, networks, ads and internal materials.

At the same time, it' s not magic:

• It requires good prompts, strategic vision and care with responsible use;
• It still has limitations and risks (especially on sensitive topics);
• It works best when it's part of a real marketing process, and not just a "play with AI".

If you're in doubt as to whether it's worth getting on board now or waiting, the reality is:

• Most marketing teams are already using AI;
• Those who learn to combine artificial intelligence + content marketing + SEO for LLMs tend to come out ahead when AI searches become the standard.

You don't have to master everything at once. Start small:

1. Choose a top-of-funnel theme;
2. Create a post + an image with Nano Banana Pro;
3. Publish, measure, adjust.

From there, you build up your own "library of prompts" and best practices, and Nano Banana Pro becomes less of a mystery and more of a concrete tool to make your content work better for you.

If you want to take the next step and turn all this into a consistent marketing strategy, it's worth taking a closer look at how to structure your content marketing in practice.
