A 6-month study across 38 restaurant clients showing the correlation between photo cadence and map impressions.

Every Thai local business we audit shows the same pattern: foundational signals are usually fine, but the velocity — of posts, photos, reviews and Q&A — is where the delta between a top-3 ranker and a page-2 business lives.

The 10 signals we optimize
