Breaking News: Unknown Instant Local Ranking Hack

[keyserholiday]

I have been running several tests to determine if Geotagging photos can boost map pack rankings. I have repeatedly tried every tactic and found that nothing worked. Google stripes out the data once you upload the image to your GBP.

If you know me or follow me on Twitter. You know that I hate Google posts. It is the worst product that Google has released. It doesn't help that Google removed the ability to see views and clicks.

I have run a few tests where I geotagged images I used for Google posts, and guess what? Instant overnight rankings. Even though Google removes the Google post after 6 months. The rankings never diminish. If you are going to create a Google post, make sure that you Geotag the photo before uploading the image.

Here is my case study.

This was an April Fool's Day joke. I asked @JoyHawkins and was granted permission to post this. It started as a joke tweet. The ranking report is from Places Scout. The Kansas bug impacted the business in question. They got their rankings back after Google fixed their address.

Once again, another reason I stay off facebook, twitter and everything else on April 1st. Worse when it comes up in a forum days later Various movies announced which would be amazing, and then find out it's a joke.
