Thanks
So great !!!
Thanks Victor
Thank you very much for the gold. Ive been on a binge watching streak for the past week lol Trying to watch all your videos. Does this photo strat still apply today? I run a website agency. Any recommendations on what I can post?
Yeap, the strategy still works. Best recommendation is to do a search on google first then check the image results. It will give you an idea of what google wants, then run your pics in the AI vision tool to pick the best ones. Finally don't forget the alt tags when you add them to your website and the file name.
Excelente content, thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you like it
Dis iz gud info ! :) Fanks

I’ll add these to my list, thanks
Thank you so much sir
Most welcome Chandan
Killer video. Grazie.
Many thanks Stretch
great tips, as always!
My question is: what images would you post for service area-based businesses, that don't have a location where they could post exterior images from, like a cleaning business for example? Would it hurt the ranking of such a listing if they can't post such images?
No it won't hurt. Since you don't have a location there is no need to add picture of exterior
RA, I have a cleaning business too. CN I put a picture of my wrapped car (logo) in a an exterior category? Will I be suspended?
excelente thanks
Many thanks Angelica
My company has niche'd down to 3 departments, but after watching this video I got the confidence to want to walk into every business I see day to day to show they're not utilizing Google to the extent they need to. Plus, the upsell of inventory photography after the Business-specific photos? One curious question to all of this...would I want to manually drop the pictures I take for these businesses into the Google Vision program for optimization? Is Google Vision working on Google automatically? Manual or automatic?
Hi Tyler. Not sure what you mean by "Is Google Vision working on Google automatically"
Great video. Would like more ideas on GMB for services that don't have specific products to photograph. Like for a marketing firm or insurance or financial - what type of photos to represent services offered and how to categorize?
Thanks Vincent. How about mortgages, credit cards, loans, life insurance...
Sorry to leave out a word or 2 - was typing faster than my brain. I was wondering what type of photos we should use for more ambiguous business imagery like those mentioned - where it's not so obvious as to what might be effective.
Thanks Luc.👍
No problem 👍
awesome content
Thanks Ameya
Hi Luc, how do I manage the photos that appear on the business site created with google? I have noticed that the last photos uploaded in the profile appear on the website, but I cannot change the order of the photos displayed on the website. Thanks for your help! You are great!
Hi Andrea. Unfortunately the photos are displayed automatically and there is no option of reordering them.
I’ve heard back in the day that using a cell phone had some benefits due to the geotags embedded in them. That’s how our phones know where we were when a pic was taken.
Any validity or updates on that Luc? Thx!
Google will automatically geotag your picture when you publish them on your profile.
Might be useful for publishing pictures on your website but don’t except miracles
Thanks, what great content. I've like, subscribed and dinged the bell. I have changed genre (I'm a photographer) Should I remove all the wedding related photos and replace them with babies , as that's all I photograph now? The wedding photos keep showing up and have lots of views. Thanks
Think about it from a client's perspective. If you feel the wedding photography is no longer relevant then remove it
Hi
Thank you so much for the information.
I have a question, I add photos to my Google business, but it is not displaying on Google, when outsider search for it
Please, what can I do
Thank you for the tips. I have a question. How do I maximize for a business that is not brick and mortar?
Just publish photos of you in action
Great did, what image dimensions do you recommend for the photo?
Thanks. Which photos exactly?
Hello Anton. Could you please tell me what is the right size for a my business cover? As I try the size you mention in the video but it didn't work for me. Thanks.
The ideal recommended Google My Business cover photo size is 1024 x 576 pixels.
As a realtor would you suggest I put a photo with Sold written on it in the photos section or products section? I wasn't sure if the overlay will drop it to the bottom. Your videos are so helpful!
Best way to find out is to try.
@@rankingacademy Thank you!
thank you
my buisiness is at home for heating, cooling, and electrical. any idea for images? thanks again
Take images when you work on anything in people's homes
Great advice!!! How many pictures should you add per week or. Month? How many and how often?
There aren’t any rules. It will also be very business dependant. Think visitors first. What would they like to see?
Thank you
Great video! No more green screen?
Thank you. No, the green screen is gone
can you please make a vd on how to upload photos in the image section of google which is right next to maps,news etc
I'll add your request to my list
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks
Great job sir!
I have an issue with uploading photos while adding a product. The most I can upload is just one photo. why is it so?
You can only add one picture per product
do you have to put keywords in the name of the photos? Geotagged the photos? Thank you
No you don't
As a Realtor I have a lot of photos of my home for sale (listings). If I post all of those image I wonder if Google will think they are "stock" images or treat them as unique?
Hi Mike, Google doesn't "think" it uses technology. If the photos you are using are 100% unique and cannot be found anywhere else then they won't be considered as stock photos
What about if my business is a Home Inspections company that we go the client homes. They do not come to our location which is our home. Do we still provide a photo of the outside of our building. Would it be better to take a picture of our trucks with our logo on them? Thank you for your videos.
Take pictures of yourself while at work. It will represent the service you offer
@@rankingacademy thank you. Will do.
What type of pictures would Google know are for landscapers ?
Not sure, us the the AI tool to figure it out. Watch this on how to do it: th-cam.com/video/znfqh0jylL8/w-d-xo.html
Hello,
Should we bother to add keywords to the filename of our photos for seo purposes?
Thanks
No need
Thank youuuuu! 👍
Do RSS Feeds on GMB help with rankings?
Posts don't help with rankings so no
Hi, I have 3 location listing. I shared a same post or offer or photos to all listings. If any problem may come?
It won’t cause a problem. Photos on post are not added to your gallery. You can even use stock images for them
Hi Luc. Being a practicing doc, I have some limitations here. Apart from photos of the interior, I cant post photos with clients for confidentiality issues. I cant post photos of ongoing sessions or treatments. What are my options here? Can I simply post some infographics under photos?
Infographics are not useful. What kind of doctor are you?
@@rankingacademy a psychiatrist with a practice that offers outpatient as well as inpatient services.
It is very limiting indeed. In that case there is no need to post pictures for the sake of it. It's all about adding value to visitors
@@rankingacademy why aren't info graphics uploaded as jpg maybe helpful?

What types of photos could I use for my mortgage business? Any ideas?
What are your competitors using?
What would you suggest for service based businesses for pictures?
What type of services are we talking about?
@@rankingacademy web based: social media, seo, Wordpress builds, etc
Any photo tips for those with virtual/service based businesses?
What kind of virtual service are you talking about?
@@rankingacademy Specifically, those with virtual products like accountants, coaches & trainers, non-profits/public figures, designers, freelancers, digital product owners, copywriters or even digital marketers like yourself. This is a growing question being that more and more people are working virtually today. In a related question, many of these individuals don't have geographic restrictions and can take clients from any city in their country. --> you've been a WEALTH of wisdom sir! Thank you in advance.
Question: I have a lot of pictures on my google business page but when I search my service dumpster none of my photos show up. Why is that the case? Thank you
Are they not showing up on your listing when you do a search and go to the photo option?
@@rankingacademy Thanks for getting back to me. Yes they are showing up. I was just wondering why they don't show up on google when I put in Dumpster images as a search
do you know why if I added a cover pic I can't see it on my listing? It is displayed in by owner category but not set as the primary one 🙄
If you can't, try this: th-cam.com/video/EafGqytHMeM/w-d-xo.html
@@rankingacademy thanks! 🙃
I can not find a video from you how to use API for our photos? Am I missing it? Thank you
That's because I don't have one, sorry
Does applying a watermark, logo, or text-overlay help Google to associate an image to a business?
I assume you’’ve already added your logo and business name to your GMB so not really
@@rankingacademy Say I have a watermarked image uploaded to a social media platform... Will Google recognize who it belongs to? - Am I reading into this too far?
What if customers already bombard us with photos to the listing already? (we run a museum)
Sounds great but you don't control what is posted
@@rankingacademy yes. That's pretty annoying. There should be a working solution to remove unwanted photos.
What about using value posts from social media?
Not sure what you mean, can you please expand
@@rankingacademy tips and information posts that are shared to socials are they useful on my GMB?
My photos are being rejected. Not sure what the problem is
Hi Sergio. there is a form you can fill in. I have a video coming out tomorrow that describes the process, it's a short and will be published at 1:00 PM GMT
Let's put on a black envelope. What if a business owner takes all the photos himself for a few months and deletes the metadata from the camera and leaves only the keywords and description and the geolocation coordinates. Google will not be able to identify the camera it was taken with as well as the date and time. I am not a pirate but I put myself in the case and got curious. What do you think ?
I Pat. Still won’t make any difference. Geo location tags are useless
can i upload my cover photo with phone number ?
You can but it's likely to be removed
Well I gave it a try and it thought that my rat picture was a bat!!!
😂 Well, time to take proper rat pictures then
@@rankingacademy big difference though
I work in Web/IT, so not really sure what photos I can upload that would be of any use LOL
What kind of work do you do? Do you fix computers? do you teach ? Do you build custom made computers... hard for me to make a suggestion
@@rankingacademy Managed Web services... so email, DNS, cybersecurity, website design/management, that sort of stuff
I have free website how can I make a money that website also do I need domain the answer yes tell me the best domain hosting please help me I have been struggling this problem for one year
How do I get GOOGLE vision ai
It looks like you have to contact Google's sales department first: cloud.google.com/contact

Does it comply with Google's guidelines? support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en-GB
Hello
Hi
@@rankingacademy please tell me
Shame Google’s street view isn’t as advanced as it can’t work out my business screws and shows next door instead! But so sure it’s as advanced as you think it is.
Still worth adding your own pictures
You have no idea how badly I needed this. I have a verified & active business profile, yet when I type it in, it’s says it doesn’t exist & prompts me to start a duplicate. I previously erased a google account used to start the profile & google removed the listing. After weeks of begging they finally restored it but where I once had access to the listing through my business email, now I can’t. Luckily the email used to set it up still exists after a quick recovery; however, I can’t get to gmail using a phone verification. I’m told the number can’t be used. I’ve tried others to no evail. So I can make changes to the listing through the google account but I can’t get to my gmail to verify. I want the businesses email to be associated with it, not the one used to set it up. It’s a mess. Let’s see if this works
Best of luck. I hope it works out
