Nearby Now AI Photo Analysis Labels Photos and Protects Customer Privacy

by Cian Chang on July 23, 2024

We are excited to announce the first cutting edge computer vision features from Nearby Now AI!

Nearby Now AI Photo Analysis can automatically analyze your checkin photos and add labels based on what the photos include. You can also markup the photos yourself with new or existing labels.

The labeled photos will power even stronger, more targeted SEO for your own website. You can filter the checkins on your city pages by label, or you can filter your photo galleries by label. Either way, better organized, better targeted, more relevant pages will power even more SEO value and better qualified leads into your own website.

On the backend, you can also use those same labels to filter the Checkins List report, or any user's Checkins List by User report. And as with all our powerful report features, once you've setup the report you would like you can Save it for later, Share it with others, or Schedule it to be pushed to the people you identify on the schedule you want. This makes it easier for you to keep track of your team's engagement, empowers your managers to do the same, and gives powerful new tools to your web and marketing teams.

We have also added two AI Photo Analysis backstops to the good work your team already does to ensure they don't violate customer privacy in their checkins and photos. Automatic Face Blurring will ensure that if a photo includes a face the AI can detect, it will be blurred for privacy. And License Plate Blurring will do the same, for any detected license plates.

And all of this is included, at no additional charge, for all of our SEO Master level subscribers.

These great Nearby Now AI Photo Analysis features follow close on the heels of our April launch of Nearby Now AI enhanced checkin messages, and review responses. And add to our 14+ year track record of delivering innovations that deliver you better rankings, local rankings in more places, more relevant media, more traffic, and more jobs.

Now, more than ever, Nearby Now "Puts the Work You Do, to Work for you!"
