  • Add secondary categories to appear in more search results. Aim for at least 3 relevant categories.
  • Use more specific categories instead of generic ones. For example, "Italian Restaurant" ranks better than just "Restaurant".
Photos Detected 10+
Status Excellent
Industry Benchmark 8-15 typical for General Business
Category Note We do not have photo benchmarks for this business type yet, so this compares against general averages.
Note Google reports at most 10 photo references for a listing. A listing showing 10 may hold many more, so this category is scored within that limit and does not distinguish between them.
  • Google's public data reports at most 10 photos, so we cannot see your full library. Listings in General Business typically carry 8 to 15 photos. Keep adding current photos across your exterior, interior, team, and what you sell.
