Photos Views (Google Map Algorithm)

Hello,

I have posted 4 pictures few days ago of same shop, 2 pics got large number of views within a days but eventually 2 pics of same shop got less views.

Why is that happened? It seems Algorithm is promoting specific pics, so can you suggest facts about algorithm behind it.

Thanks.

Hi @KrishnaRajput

Thanks for your question.

I took a look at your profile and could not help to notice that the 3 pictures you added were added twice. According to the guidelines we are not to add pictures more than once also near similar pictures should not be posted. Please take a look at these guidelines for posting pictures: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Help-Desk/What-photos-should-I-share-on-Google-Maps/ba-p/1969933

As to your question about pics not getting the same amount of views that is quite normal. I normally study these differences to learn what the Google computers considers the better photo. I take this as input on how to take better shots in the future.

Cheers
