Lazy Loading & Image SEO
-
I wanted to implement lazy loading on my whole domain, but was unsure about the effect on the organic image search. Therefore I implemented it some months ago on 3 selected URLs with medium organic image traffic. Unfortunately all 3 pages dropped significantly (roughly 80%) of image impressions and clicks (seach console data). It seems that just images within the fold, that are not loaded via lazy load are still ranking.
Does anybody have here more positive experiences?

It seems that implementing lazy loading across your domain had a negative impact on your organic image search performance. From your experience, testing lazy loading on three selected URLs resulted in a significant drop of around 80% in image impressions and clicks, according to search console data. This indicates that only images within the fold, which are not loaded via lazy load, continue to rank well. I faced a similar issue on my website, but I managed to resolve it.

I’ve built a CapCut template website called capcuthut.com/, where I share CapCut templates with download buttons. However, I’ve noticed that these buttons aren’t showing up in Google’s button search results. I’ve already optimized the buttons and added the right alt text and file names. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Well, If you have changed the URL then make some changes by adding alt attribute & change the sizes. You can get more tech solutions at The Geek Insights

I've created a CapCut template website called capcuttemplatee.co.in/. On my site, I post CapCut templates along with download buttons. However, I've noticed that these buttons are not appearing in Google's button results. I've already optimized the buttons and used appropriate alt text and file names. What could be the reason for this?

If you are using Wordpress then try to install some lazy load plugins. Learn more about it.

I haven't yet seen issues with lazy loading, also you can always separately file them as an image sitemap, but I can't see how this should be related to ranking drops to be honest as long as Google can still read the same attributes under the same URL.
-
Thanks for the additional information.
I am surprised that your image search traffic dropped.
-
No, everything the same. The only thing what was changed, the loading over lazy load to have a propper testing environment.
-
Did you change the URLs of the images, change their file names, change their alt attribute, change their size (file or pixel), change where they are hosted?

Local SEO Best Practice
Hi We currently have 6 showrooms in a geographical area (Scotland,UK) and each showroom covers a specific region within the country encompassing towns and cities. So for example showroom A based in Edinburgh covers a customer area of Edinburgh, Fife, St Andrews while showroom B located in Glasgow covers Glasgow, Livingston etc In google places I have drawn the geographical area on the map that each showroom covers making sure that they do not overlap At present some of which are ranking well in local but one is stating that 'google does not support this location' and after following previous advice on the forum this is still the case. Would I be better setting up another google account for this showroom and submit it again into Google Places or would it be better going into Google+ business pages? or are they the same thing? Finally is it worth using the following in Google Places? KML File and Geo Sitemap generation (these files are needed for Google) Address output in Schema.org format
