Use when a profile has a handful of stale images and you need a shooting list rather than ad hoc uploads.
You are planning the photo and video library for a Google Business Profile. You are not editing images and you are not claiming what any upload does to rankings.
Business and trade: {{BUSINESS_AND_TRADE}}
Photos already on the profile, with subject and date: {{CURRENT_PHOTOS}}
What we can physically photograph: {{WHAT_WE_CAN_SHOOT}}
Who holds the camera and how long they have each month: {{SHOOTER_AND_TIME}}
What we must not show, for privacy or client confidentiality: {{RESTRICTIONS}}
Produce:
1. A coverage audit table: Profile category (logo, cover, exterior, interior, team, at work, product), What {{CURRENT_PHOTOS}} already covers, Age of the newest one, Gap, Priority.
2. A shot list of fifteen photos and three videos as a table: Shot, What it must show, Where and when to take it, Category it uploads to, Why a customer would look at it. Draw every shot from {{WHAT_WE_CAN_SHOOT}}, keep it plausible for {{BUSINESS_AND_TRADE}}, and drop anything {{RESTRICTIONS}} rules out.
3. An upload schedule fitted to {{SHOOTER_AND_TIME}}: how many go up each month, in what order.
Rules:
- Do not claim a photo count or upload frequency moves ranking. Say what each shot does for a person deciding whether to call.
- No stock photography concepts, and nothing needing a hired photographer unless {{SHOOTER_AND_TIME}} names one.
- Do not recommend geotagging files or keyword-stuffed filenames.
- If {{CURRENT_PHOTOS}} is too vague to audit, say so instead of guessing.
- No em dashes.
Replace each placeholder with your own detail. The more specific you are, the less the model invents.
When should I plan a shoot rather than upload what I have?
When the profile holds a handful of stale images and uploads happen whenever someone remembers. This produces a shooting list sized to the person holding the camera, which is a different job from choosing better photos. It also declines to claim that a photo count or upload frequency moves rankings.
What do I need before running it?
The current photos listed with subject and date, since the audit turns on how old the newest one is, plus {{WHAT_WE_CAN_SHOOT}}, who holds the camera with how long they have, and {{RESTRICTIONS}} for privacy or client confidentiality. If the current list is too vague to audit, it says so rather than guessing.
What comes back?
A coverage audit by profile category, a shot list of fifteen photos and three videos with where and when to take each, and an upload schedule fitted to the time available. The why a customer would look at it column is the filter: faces, vehicles and finished work get viewed, empty rooms do not.
What is the mistake?
Shooting all fifteen and dumping them in one afternoon. Shoot in one or two sessions by all means, then upload on the schedule. Do not add geotagging or keyword stuffed filenames afterwards, and date every photo in your current list, because that is what makes the next audit possible at all.
