Add location data.
Before I post my photos on to Google Maps, I use GeoImgr to plot GPS coordinates to tell Google where the Image's shot. Geotagging helps the algorithm to prioritise your content.
Plus, the website is free to use. If, you want to support GeoImgr purchase the Pro license.
Post photos daily.
It's the same with social media - post photos daily. The reason is to give so more people to discover your portfolio. And, you level up faster on Google Maps.
Add helpful reviews about the places you've visited.
Adding useful reviews about places you've visited on Google Maps. Before you write your review. Ask these questions:
Were the staff knowledgeable about their products?
Was the staff Welcoming?
Was the environment clean?
Did you have a fantastic time at that place?
What vehicles did they have stock?
Be, honest and kind with your reviews. It'll tell the dealerships on what they've done right and on how they can improve their experience.
Also, if you write a 200-plus word review (20 points) and add pictures of the location (5 points each photo), Google Maps will prioritise your content.
Why I use Google Maps
The reason I use Google Maps is that my content has the most substantial amount of views than my social media channels. I can post directly to the places I've been and what people I want to see the pictures.
