Hey, can we have different names of places like countries in the keywords?
Like I have the image an old town. The suggested keywords also show italy in that so can I use that?

If it's a real photograph from a real location in Italy, you can use Italy as a keyword. The keyword suggestion system is notoriously inaccurate when it comes to guessing at locations.

Is it a real photograph or video of an Italian location?

If not, no.

Hi @DailyLifeImages ,

Where relevant you can apply name of place as keyword. For example a landscape of a place in Jamaica, you can include in your keywoding, "jamaica", "caribbean", "tropical". You should not have the name of two different place as keywoding for a file. For example a landscape that you add "Jamaica" and "Barbados". The place must be either Jamaica or Barbados but cannot be both.

 

I hope this answers your question and you found it helpful.

Best wishes

The suggested keywords are not always accurate. You should only select those that are correct. Rome can't be in France or Sweden. Your keywords need to be accurate, or you risk that your assets get poor sales and slip down in the search relevance. The worst that could happen to your image is that it gets deleted and, for your account, that it gets banned.

There are certain locations that are copyrighted/trademarked and would earn an IP refusal, like some national parks and some famous architecture.  But I think you should be ok with countries, states/provinces/municipalities, and cities/towns.  It never hurts to check the Known Image Restrictions for reference.

I don't understand your question. If the image is from Italy you can write 'Italy' but if its not from Italy you shouldn't include it in the keywords ...

It can be benificial if searches would look for the location.
