/loc/ - Local SEO

the way google is pulling photos into the main search snippet has changed recently. instead of showing the storefront, it keeps prioritizing user-uploaded shots of the interior menu even when they are blurry. i noticed a client's profile almost entirely lost its curb appeal bc of this. it feels like the algorithm is favoring engagement over clarity . you might wanna check your primary photo settings and manually overwrite smth that looks messy.
>the automated selection is becoming unreliable for local visibility.
