The direct answer

Images should be labeled according to what they actually show. A manufacturer example, fictional design and completed client project are different forms of evidence. For this knowledge article, the practical test is whether the article answers its question before asking the reader to contact anyone.

Do images accurately represent their source?

Start with a reader opening an article from a shared link. The image provenance check concerns the answer, supporting evidence and next useful question. Generic conclusions and repeated sales language can obscure useful advice. Anonymized examples should explain the lesson without inventing a separate client case.

General education should remain readable without a forced showroom choice. Local advice and expert inquiries can request the branch when needed.

Check it on this page

Open the guide through a shared deep link, read the answer without choosing a location, and follow its relevant next action.

  • Identify the source, permission and caption of each prominent image.
  • Check whether nearby words imply an actual project or result.
  • Label demonstrations and manufacturer examples according to their true purpose.

Sharing signals received less attention than the visible design

Public source reviews found missing Open Graph URL values and image metadata associated with another market. These are separate from the main page title and can survive a redesign if the sharing fields use another template.

For this knowledge article, the check focuses on the answer, supporting evidence and next useful question. Inspect the URL, title, description and image description that a sharing client receives. A corrected heading does not update those fields automatically.

Repair the source, then check the published result

Use truthful labels and approved attribution, and protect private customer information. Keep useful visual context without presenting a demo as a completed client result.

Record the image provenance result for this destination, then repeat the customer route until the article answers its question before asking the reader to contact anyone. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
