While Local View has no limit to the amount of Google My Business Profiles to upload photos, you may hit Google’s maximum amount at once, depending on the post volume.

The Metadata built-in through Local View will allow you to explore your image’s potential while allowing you to tailor its information to stay relevant to your local business SEO. Image SEO’s main purpose is to get Search Engines to read and understand your photos, so getting the most out of your EXIF data and IPTC is highly recommended.

There is, unfortunately, no option to move or rearrange your photos in your GMB profile. This can be incredibly frustrating if you want to have a certain photo appear at the very front of your listing. However, if you understand Google’s metric and use Local View to edit your photo’s EXIF data, then it is possible to change the order of your files. To do this, Local View’s EXIF Data editor will allow you to manipulate the “Create Date” on your file. It will also automatically update that “Create Date” when the photo is uploaded on the GMB listing. This way, the latest photo – no matter the date or time it was taken – will be the first photo to appear on your business.

Yes. Google analyzes the metadata once an upload from a user occurs, and strips this once a user is downloading it. Just like other social media apps like Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, if the data is not optimized, they won’t get any traffic.
