EXIF Injected Image Benefits
It is no secret that Google determines details about media based on the metadata that accompanies it. Since eliminating the geo-tagging features from inside of the GMB dashboard a couple of years ago, we have been left with adding keywords and geo-data via third party applications and then watching it get wiped when we upload it to the GMB. Does it even help?
At Local Viking we wanted to take some of the guesswork out of the process and ensure your data was being pushed directly through the API so you can rest assured your image optimization efforts are not for naught.
We offer a complete set of configurations to bolster your photos when it comes to metadata. Leave no stone unturned when adding information for Google to consider when adding your images to their cache.
Schedule Months Worth of Images to be Added in No Time at All
Set and forget your image upload and optimization schedule so you can perform the tasks once and have your clients seeing the fruits of your labor month after month. Local Viking makes it easy to perform a large amount of work for a campaign without the manual headache. Images are not a part of that lineup.
Automate Your "GeoTagging"
With our “recommended EXIF” automation you can quickly populate the metadata of photos that you upload to your listing. This pulls in data from your GMB, which you can then modify if you wish. Once you are happy with your metadata, one quick keystroke will add your image and pipe that data through the GMB API and you will be quickly adding and managing your businesses images.
