I seem to be getting the hang of increasing my photo views on Google Local (take lots of interior photos, especially of Dollar Trees), so I have hit 400K already. I was pleased that Google recognized this by give me "points" for each photo, and the number of points I had achieved got me to a level where I got three free months of Google Play Music. I was more pleased before I discovered that last month they had a promo of four free months for doing nothing.
Let's look at some photos that have reached milestones rather than going through all of the top photos.
This photo of Michaels (Bowie, MD) from December 2016 hit 50,000 views and remains my number one photo for some reason.
Four new photos have cracked 10,000 views.
This photo of a Safeway (Reston, VA) from May 2017 is now #8.
This photo of a Wawa (Gambrills, MD) from May 2017 is now #9. This is actually one of my better photos (not that that seems to help with views). Also, I had a feeling when I took it that I would get lots of views.
This photo of a Safeway (Herndon, VA) from May 2017 is now #10.
This photo of a Dollar Tree (Sterling, VA) from April 2017 is now #11.
I guess I can add Safeway to Dollar Tree as a reliable source of views. (I have two Safeway pictures from this month that haven't taken off, though.)
I had decided to try taking pictures of food to see if they would get views. The answer seems to be (based on two examples), not more than pictures of interiors.
I'll leave you with a final mystery. Here are three pictures of Targets.
All are from May 2017. Despite the fact that the one on top is the most recent, it has received 7,624 views, while the other two have received 158 and 231. I don't think it's in any way better or more representative than the other two
