Over 620,000 Google Maps Pic Views Top 10 by James Cousineau in Western Canada

EDMONTON, Alberta - Dec. 3, 2016 - PRLog -- James Cousineau is the Regional Manager for Kary Movers Ltd's Alberta Operations and owns a boutique DJ Company in Western Canada. During his personal time he enjoys photography. Some of his photos have been viewed over 622,000 times by Google Maps users over the past six months. Here is the top 10 most viewed of his location photos which he takes and adds to Google Maps at no charge to the businesses which he photographs throughout Alberta and BC. James has also been nominated as one of BC's top Marketing individuals several consecutive years running including 2016.

He has photographed hundreds of businesses and added them to Google Maps in order to help people find locations and associate the pictures with the business, helping finding the business easier for the user. Instead of just looking for the address, they know what the exterior of the business looks like before they get there and saving them time. It also helps people to make decisions such as hotels to stay at, restaurants to visit and much more. He also provides business reviews on Google Guides, helping people make informed decisions about where to visit and where to spend their money.

With his interaction with over 100,000 views a month in Alberta and British Columbia (mostly Edmonton, Calgary and Metro Vancouver so far) here are the top ten businesses he has assisted people in finding for immediate or future visits.

10.) Scotia Bank, Grandview Corners, South Surrey, BC - 9,254 views

9.) Alberta SPCA, Edmonton, Alberta - 9,521 views

8.) Days Inn & Suites, Edmonton, Alberta - 9,997 views

7.) IKEA Coquitlam, Coquitlam, BC - 11,217 views

6.) Dragons Tale (In W. Edmonton Mall), Edmonton, AB - 12,660 views

5.) IKEA Edmonton, Edmonton, Alberta - 15,431 views

4.) MacEwan University, Edmonton, AB - 16,953 views

3.) West Edmonton Mall, Edmonton, AB - 19,504 views

2.) Vancouver International Airport - Richmond, BC - 22,296 views

1.) Staybridge Suites, 109 Ave NW Edmonton, AB - 22,517 views

More businesses are being photographed in addition to residential apartment buildings, public buildings, attractions, national and provincial parks and almost every type of business in our communities. Real Estate is a popular category over all but even James was shocked that an Edmonton hotel came in as the number one and number 8 most viewed of the reviews and photos over the past 6 months. The Staybridge suites is number one and his addition has only been live for this location for about 6 weeks.

These pictures and reviews can influence people on their desire to visit or be a patron of these businesses but this list and number of views does not have any real statistics on the amount that visitors spend at these locations, rentals of apartments etc based on information provided by James, his pictures or reviews or other numbers. James is an official "Local Guide" on Google and the numbers do show the impact that Google can have on exposure for companies.
