Visual search lets someone search using a photo instead of typing — point a camera at a product, a plant, or a landmark and get an identification or related results.
Where this is growing fastest
Shopping and product discovery are the clearest use cases — identifying an item from a photo and finding where to buy it.
How to prepare
- Use high-quality, well-lit product images
- Add detailed structured data for products — see schema markup
- Ensure images are properly indexed — see image SEO
