More than just luck! Here are a few reasons why this seemingly normal picture of cakes got a whopping 1.5M views.

  1. General Information - More than just a pic I provided necessary information that the average review did not cover. I covered where to buy and what to buy as well as what not to buy

  2. Quality - Photo shows good lighting and a variety of what their actual selection provides

  3. Data-Driven - supportive photos in addition to the delicious cake picture I also included a picture of the full menu which is always helpful

  4. Insider Information - Tips from a regular is soo powerful, I gave the inside scoop on pricing and how they may be upselling bottled water

  5. Preference - People actually like to hear whats your favorite item and why you like it

  6. New Place - Right place at the right time; the place had just opened up and people were really looking for information

  7. High Traffic - Was a part of a very busy intersection with lots of curious tourists looking for help from a guide.

    Hope this helps you drive your views! Thank you Google community for helping small businesses when they need it most.

    Sincerely,

Hello @LocalRich how great is that? Imagine how many people are helped by your picture and what your picture did for the bakery.
There is this very cool post on this topic I like to invite you to have a look it’s the Leaderboards of the Most Viewed Photos. Your picture certainly deserves to be there. It’s a long post with great comments and a lot of things you can learn from.
