METADATA

Web wide indexing, the process where buyers are able to find content with a few relevant keywords, is an essential part of our process. Each image or clip becomes it's own separate web page and is indexed by all search engines. For web based searches, the caption title becomes the most important source of keywords.

Please review the Submissions Guidelines page for information about metadata requirements

  • The minimum information required are place names and (what the viewer sees) the content. Any iconic or important feature should  be included. 

  • If the submission is very small OR only contains one subject, you can simply email the information to us. If the submission is larger or contains multiple scenes, a spreadsheet or CSV file is required.

  • Should you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
