Photos & Local SEO: Simple Ways to Put More Notches on Your Belt with Images

Like my post? Please share! The biggest problem with most advice on “image SEO” is it focuses too much on what images you should take and how you should take them. Often that advice rests on an assumption that you’re in a photogenic line of work, where it’s both easy and wise to take photos of what you offer and where you offer it. But what if your services appear only as brain waves in your head, your products are tough on the eyes, or your place of business looks like Sanford & Son’s? Even if your photos don’t have the good looks, somehow you still need to give them legs. Another problem is much of the advice is perfectionistic and fussy. It’s too focused on technical steps that most people can’t or won’t bother with, that your competitors seem not to bother with, and that Googl...

X Looks to Improve Content Moderation After Issues with AI Images and Bot Farms

Content moderation remains a major challenge on X, despite owner Elon Musk insisting that its crowd-sourced Community Notes are the key solution for combatting harmful content. Last week, AI-generated images of singer Taylor Swift being sexually assaulted by NFL fans gained huge traction on X, reaching over 27 million views, and 260,000 likes, before the originating account was suspended. Swift is now reportedly exploring legal action against X and the creator of the content, while X, unable to stop the spread of the pictures, despite that initial suspension, has now banned all searches for “Taylor Swift” in the app in response. Which is not exactly a great endorsement of the effectiveness of its Community Notes approach. And while this content is in violation of X’s Sensitive Media poli...

How to Get Images in Mobile Search Results

Posted Oct 18, 2021 by Joy Hawkins For those of us who work in marketing, it’s really easy to get caught up in what we see on our computers all day and forget what things look like in Google’s search results on mobile. Google shows images beside the search results on mobile devices that often don’t show up anywhere on computers and they are an easy way for a business to stand out and draw more attention to their website. Not all search results show images on mobile It’s important to note that not every keyword shows images in the search results on mobile devices. We tracked tons of keywords using BrightLocal and looked at screenshots of how search engine results pages (SERPs) on mobile varied bas...

How to Use Images to Increase Leads [2 Local SEO Case Studies]

Posted Sep 27, 2021 by Joy Hawkins Although I find that the SEO community often obsesses about rankings on Google, we make it our mission here to focus on how to increase leads for clients. Rankings are great, and it’s good to know that images can increase rankings, but I wanted to share a couple of case studies that show how images can actually increase leads as well. Case 1: Adding Images for a Lawn Care Company After seeing the success we had in swapping out one image for this lawn care company, we made it a priority to get images updated on a lot of their popular articles. This resulted in an 80% increase in traffic from images according to Search Console year-over-year. But what about convers...

Do Images Impact Ranking on Google? [Case Study]

Posted Sep 20, 2021 by Joy Hawkins We have been doing a lot of testing around images in the last year at Sterling Sky. You can read about the tests we did on geotagging photos and the cover photo you select in Google My Business. For this test, we wanted to measure how the photos you use on your website impact your organic ranking on Google. TLDR; According to this case study: Larger/better quality photos are better for ranking Having a photo that matches what Google is looking for can have a positive impact on ranking. Having a photo that doesn’t match can have a negative impact. How much images contribute to ranking likely varies based on the query or industry. The Case Study There was a pag...

Snapchat Offers Tentative Support for UK MP’s Call for Labels on Digitally Altered Images

Negative self comparison is one of the biggest risks for young people online, and the availability of advanced photo editing and image-altering tools now means that many of the photos of people you see posted are not realistic depictions of what they actually look like. That can have serious impacts, and recently, a UK MP called for direct action to address it. Back in September, Tory MP Dr. Luke Evans proposed a new law which would force social platforms to add labels to any posted image that had been digitally altered or enhanced. Evans said that such enhancements create an "unrealistic and unachievable aspiration" for young people, which can cause significant psychological impacts. "With the click of a mouse you can have bigger biceps, with the swipe of a thumb you can have a slimmer wa...

Can I Stop People From Adding Images to My Google My Business (GMB) Listing?

Posted Dec 14, 2020 by Yan Gilbert In most scenarios, businesses cannot block people from uploading photos to your GMB listing via the “upload to public” feature. The one exception to this is if the business is getting slammed with tons of inappropriate photos from users due to a public media incident. For example, the stone supplier referenced in this article had the ability to add a photo disabled after users uploaded tons of statues of genitalia after the social media scandal. If a public user has uploaded an image you would like it removed from your listing, and it also breaks a Google guideline, you will need to flag it to have removed. If flagging the pictures was unsuccessful after a few ...
