Why Geotagging Images Matters for Local SEO
Search engines like Google, Bing, and Apple Maps crawl image EXIF metadata to determine physical location relevance. When you upload geotagged photos to your Google Business Profile, Yelp listing, or local landing page, you pass undeniable geo-signals confirming your business operates in that exact city and neighborhood.

Why You Must Strip EXIF Metadata for Privacy

- Protects homeowner and founder privacy by eliminating home GPS pins.
- Prevents competitors from reverse-engineering camera footprints.
