@rankingacademy 11 ай бұрын

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.

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?

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
