Google has been making a multitude of changes in the search engine in recent months, a very different search engine than, for example, we used two or three years ago, and a search engine that now even embraces answers with artificial intelligence, we like it more or less.
And it is quite likely that, as of July 10, your public photos of Instagram, and possibly also your videos, They appear in Google’s search results. Maybe you like less.
As it is being informed, Google will start showing photos and public Instagram videos directly in your search resultswhich will mean relevant changes in how the content of the social network is indexed.
While now our Instagram account can appear in Google’s results, only the main link is shown, but not, specifically, photos and videos.
Some users, such as the disseminator Carlos OrtegaThey are receiving notifications within the Instagram application informing about this new form of indexation. In the notice it is commented that it is possible that «your public photos and videos appear soon in the results of the search engines.»
It is added that, as of July 10, Search engines can automatically show all public photos and videos in their results pages.
This goal notice is presented as an advantage: they emphasize that more and more people could discover the content of your professional account outside Instagram.
In any case, you can change preferences so that this does not happen From the privacy settings of your accountaccording to the application itself.
How have you read, It seems that this affects only professional accounts. Therefore, those users who have transformed their Instagram account into a professional account, for example, because they have a business or are offering some service, could be more disseminated from now on in search engines, not only on Google.
This can be good news for companies, which will gain greater visibility, but bad news for users, who are increasingly difficult to find good information through the Google search engine, which has been filled with short videos, YouTube videos and, now, it seems that also of Instagram images and videos.
Don’t worry: if your Instagram publications are restricted only to followers, They should not be indexed by search engines.
If you are not interested in your images and videos on search engines, you can always modify the privacy settings of the Instagram application to prevent this content from becoming index.
The change will come into force on July 10, so you have to be attentive from that date to see what happens in the different search engines.
