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 service-area page, the practical test is whether the customer knows who serves the area without being directed to a fictitious office.
Do images accurately represent their source?
Start with a customer checking whether work is available in a particular area. The image provenance check concerns actual coverage, the operating base and exceptions. Repeating city names is not evidence of a local branch. A service-area page should distinguish coverage from a storefront and preserve the real business identity.
A city served is not automatically a storefront. Location markup and directions should identify real premises, with coverage described separately.
Check it on this page
Select a covered area and an edge case, then check whether the page explains who serves each and any limits that apply.
- 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 service-area page, the check focuses on actual coverage, the operating base and exceptions. 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 customer knows who serves the area without being directed to a fictitious office. If the repair changed a shared component, compare another destination with different approved facts to detect unintended copying.
