When we think about making an improvement for SEO, really, we should be thinking about web users. Whether the wedding was at a large chain hotel, or one of England’s many ‘Tythe Barns’ ( Seriously, how many venues are called ‘Tythe Barn in England? Has anyone done a headcount?), it helps add clarity to the photo location. Why Geotag?Īdding GPS coordinates as location information is especially helpful with different venues that share the same name. Having worked with hundreds of wedding photographers to optimise their websites, I can count on one hand the number of photographers who have used the cameras GPS facility. There’s usually lots happening at a wedding, and the focus will be on your couple rather than EXIF data! On a wedding day, connecting your camera to your phone to transmit this information can be a hassle you don’t need. One of the features of the image metadata is the ability to add GPS data coordinates, referred to as Geotagging images. Google is able to see the EXIF data, and this may be used as a ranking factor. If anybody knows different, please let us know.Ensuring your images are optimised as best as possible is really important to help them rank well for relevant search terms. Well, there doesn’t seem to be much you can do about this, except delete your own photos, and take the tag off any photos tagged by friends in Facebook. (Note: untested – let me know any feedback) Trouble Fixers has this solution using using a tool called Geotag Security.

The windows option on each photo file to ‘remove personal information’ doesn’t take of the geolocation tab unfortunately. This is a hassle as you’ll have to turn this off and on manually every time you need to use Google Maps or the Camera app.īut you still need to sort out any photos you’ve taken already. Unfortunately, not not all smartphones have the option to disable location services on specific apps – some only have the option to turn it off or on altogether. Now future photos won’t have this information attached. Go to settings – general – location services – camera and switch it to ‘off’.Here I’ll give the instructions for an iPhone – hunt around for Android. Or you may just be sharing information you don’t intend to, to employers, ex-partners, whoever. You may potentially be inviting danger (stalkers, predators, burglars) by posting images with geo tags on social networking sites or any other sites.
IMAGE GEOTAG HOW TO
Well, as per the newsclip above, if you post a photo with geolocation information, you’re telling anyone who knows how to look exactly where that photo was taken. You may find the option to turn off this feature in your digital camera (see below), but even if you find this option, all your previous images are in danger. If you right click on a photo you can find this information via its properties.
This data file contains all information regarding your camera settings including the exact latitude and longitude of where they were taken. A YouTube clip about the potential dangers of geolocation information available on photos caught our eye this week. This piece could justifiably be accused of alarmism and hysteria, but nevertheless, geolocation tagging of photos taken on smartphones is just one more piece of information which you may not have voluntarily chosen to share with others.ĮXIF (Exchangeable Image File) is a data file that is stored along with every image which you capture from your digital cameras.
