How significance is using a geotagged, keyworded or xmp data embedded images to GBP Ranking?

Is there any benefit in GBP ranking when you use images that are geotagged, keyworded or xmp data embedded before uploading it to Google or using them in GBP posts or to any social media?

Thanks and Happy New Year guys

A lot of SEOs say the #1 myth is geotagging, so probably not.

Google strips this data out when you upload the photo. Although I haven't tested this in a while. Do it and report back if Google still strips this data out upon upload.

This is a really good question, I have geotagged customers images. I did not know that they strip that out when you upload. Everything I had read said this was a good idea, but if they strip it out then I don't need to go to that trouble. Is there some documentation I can read that pertains to this?

Do not waste time Geo-tagging your GBP photos. It's a waste of time, it doesn't work at all.

So I saved a geotagged/keyworded photo out of Google Maps, though it kept the backend keyword title but it indeed stipped out all the other, tags, gps etc.

Thanks for the input klharris08 though!

Here's a question: Is it better to have a user upload images to the GBP listing or us as the owner?

you know what my personal experience is that i upload more then 100 picture on my client gmb profile and make geotagged, and target keyword+ city and then work on make listing . it help me to boost my client gmb. and one the most important ranking factor of gmb is that update your gmb description in every month and post on daily basis.
