The SEO Intelligence Agency tested geo-tagging on WordPress sites and came to the same conclusion - no increase in ranking. years ago Matt Cutts from Google said that Google reserves the right to use image metadata for ranking, but they haven't done it yet. Nice video.

You mentioned a good point. good job for the video. Adding geolocation to photos is a waste of time. Instead, photos added by customers are more valuable. As a result, competitors can be avoided by offering incentive campaigns/discounts to customers.

Great info! Appreciate it! You saved me a lot of time. I have over 4500 photos that I was told I need to tag before putting them on my Google My Business. 🙂

Thank you, I really appreciate this type of no-nonsense, straight to the point videos. I have been following your advice lately since I found your channel. Thanks again.

Thank you I was just getting into tagging pictures, glad I watched this video.

Thank you, I was looking at doing this.. You saved me so much time

My guess would be that it's better to Save and fill in the picture file Detail fields with the keyword/phrase you want to rank for. Such as my-ranking-phrase.jpg and in the detail, add "my-ranking-phrase"

Thank you so much for explaining this. I was wasting my time. No more.

Wow, thank you for saving me from a fate worse than death. I had been geotagging photos after receiving some apparently bad advice to do that. Wow again.

I haven't delved into geo tags since I first researched SEO (basically what makes Google Google) and found out about web scrapers. Geo tags have again come to my attention in regards to RSA security alerts. I was wondering if Google had any geo tags for individual KZfaq streaming accounts as a webscraper would likely only unearth the location of Google servers as the hosting service as opposed to individual domains or websites. If geo tagging is a waste of time, then John McAfee is right again and most security alerts are more pomp than circumstance

Luc Top tip 👍💯 I spotted myself with someone at the beginning of your presentation 😀

Great content! Saved us from getting ripped off.

Very helpfull, Luc! I knew it didn't work (anymore) for GMB but didn't know about pictures on the website. But does it help to place a keyword in the picture (and in the filename), together with logo and NAP for someones website? Thanks, Ralf

I'm not sure if I agree the fact that the image that you downloaded from the Google local places did not have the latitude or longitude actually shows me that Google goes out of their way to strip that information out smell what else uses it to fool Google the other part where you said that another company 3 over several weeks They found no improvement doesn't mean Their findings are conclusive there might have been other factors that were taken into effect I welcome your feedback

just use alt tags for the image way more effective than geotagging

Hi Luc. Ok it may not pay dividends for my Google business listing and it may not rank my Google listening higher. But does it rank my website higher if I am trying to rank for a specific area. Let's say I am a pest control company and I want to rank in a certain area of my town. Will geotagging that area in my website rank that page better?

Thank you for the tip

Hi I have one Question their is a option of Adding keyword while geo tagging in addition to longitude and latitude So my question is if we do geo tag only for keyword will that help or saving our image with the keyword+ brand name will that help while uploading to GMB. Kindly reply to this question

thank you!!!

thank you! saved me time

Adding keywords to images details will that have any impact or just like geo tagging will not matter?

Enfin nous savons maintenant la vérité 👍👍👍

Thanks

thanku so much

thanks

Great

How about webiste image Geo tags, will this work for local services?

Thnk u

Which tool you did use for GEO Tagging? Please send me the link of the tool

doesn't google and wordpress strip out that data?

I love this guy

Thanks.

you can use google photos and is more efficient to locate your photos....

what if google reads the geo tag data before stripping it?

So disappointing. I need things that works 🙈 is it possible to meet an experienced blogger and get the advice from there? It seems KZfaq videos are generic and they just say very vogue recommendations

Geo Tagging worked when GMB was Google Places

I only started geotagging after watching an earlier video you posted, recommending to do it for better SEO. So I guess you need to remove that video?

Thanks Luc, can you geo-tag a video? does it work or matter?

Thanks, I was about to waste my time :D

People are paying for it on fiverr 😿

I'm afraid your logic seems flawed, your assumption that geotagged images have no benefit is based on Google removing exif data at some stage during or after upload processing, probably during compression. This is similar to visiting a restaurant and assuming they don't serve food because all the guests had already eaten. Even though you can no longer see the food doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyed by the guests. It is highly likely that Google reads the metadata on image processing, especially when uploaded using the GMB API. Google Lens also effectively demonstrates how well Google can 'read' images and any text overlays. Without single variable tests, it would be foolish to assume Google simply ignores data it consumes, especially as it has invested millions in MOM, its multimodal AI system designed expressly to better understand the semantic web and in particular images, video and audio.

6 minutes for say: NO, it doesn't work

FALSE! If you ONLY did what you show in the video I agree. However, go to the video at 2:24 and look to the right 2 boxes at the bottom next to the location titled "keywords/tags" and "description". Fill these two boxes out and you are going to SMASH everyone on GMB. Plain and simple.

I like your content but this was kind of click bait lol

guru pic hahhahahaha, i am about to leave india .
