📸 OPTION 1: Upload Image (Silent Photo)

💡 Tip: Never rename after geotagging - it breaks metadata!
Keyword Example: Water damage restoration services in Seal Beach California
⚠️ DO NOT EDIT IMAGE AFTER GEOTAGGING
  • No resizing
  • No cropping
  • No renaming
  • Any edit removes EXIF data

🎥 OPTION 2: Upload Video (Silent)

📝 OPTION 3: Standard Post (Educational)

💡 When to use: 2-3 days AFTER media upload. This reuses existing media.
Standard Post Example:

Today we completed a water damage restoration job that required fast drying and careful moisture monitoring.

Water damage can spread quickly if it isn't handled properly, which is why early assessment and the right equipment are so important. Each situation is different, and taking the correct steps early helps prevent long-term issues.

Our team focuses on doing the job thoroughly from the start so homeowners can feel confident moving forward.
