Free Geotech Check — Verify GPS & Business EXIF on Photos
Upload a JPEG and check Geotech metadata inside the image: business name, category, city, location, description, latitude and longitude. Read-only free EXIF checker.
Key takeaways
- Geotech writes GPS and business fields into JPEG EXIF (inside the file)
- This checker only reads — it never changes your image
- JPEG keeps metadata best; PNG/WebP often drop GPS when re-saved
- Use after Apply Geotech on GBP Posts to confirm name, category, city, and lat/lng
What you can verify
Business name, category, city, full location, description, place label, latitude, and longitude when Geotech was applied.
Who it is for
Owners and agencies who geotag GBP photos and want a free way to confirm the metadata stuck before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
Does Geotech Check change my image?
No. It only reads EXIF metadata in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server to rewrite the file.
Why JPEG?
Standard GPS EXIF lives in JPEG. Many PNG/WebP exports strip location tags.
What fields does Geotech store?
Business name, description, category, city, location/address, and latitude/longitude inside the image.
Where do I apply Geotech?
In GBP Posts → Geotech tab, or via Apply Geo-Tag on Create Post.
Is this free?
Yes — no login required for the check tool itself.
Can I see a map pin?
If GPS is found, open the Google Maps link from the results.
No metadata found — why?
The photo may never have been Geotech’d, or it was re-exported in a format that stripped EXIF.
Is data drawn on the photo?
No by default — Geotech embeds data inside the file so the picture stays clean.
Is this the same as Geotech Apply?
No. Check only reads. Apply writes GPS + business fields into the JPEG.
