Tips and Tricks

Here are some tips, which works best in our experience:

  • You can have the same image title, tags and meta description if you start changing the title
  • Having same tags and meta description is better than leaving it empty
  • Use JPEG on Google My Business or your social networks
  • Use WebP to publish it on your own web page (improves your website performance)
