Google images not showing on SERP

[Lorne_Marr]

Hi,

I recently noticed that after a specific name search, Google images on the 'Web' SERP are no longer showing up.  About a month ago, there were atleast 4-5 headshots of this particular person showing up whenever his name was searched.  Now no images are showing, just the ten organic links and two links from adwords campaign we have going.  The images are still optimized and some are even from editorial sites.

Does anyone know what may have caused the images to disappear and what we can do to bring them back to the main SERP? (Not sure if it matters but we are in Canada)

Thanks

Good Morning!

First off, I would need to know a bit more information before throwing out an exact answer, but from my experience, anytime I'm optimizing a new word/image/video I usually notice it fall in and out of rank on an almost weekly basis. The general trend appears to be upward, but it takes a little bit before the rankings become solid.

As far as other aspects, is the original site that hosts the photo still up? How long ago were the photos put up? Are all the tags correct/optimized to the persons name?

Being in Canada may or may not have an impact, although I highly doubt it, unless this person is a local legend. Google is putting a heavy push on local searches so if you are in mexico looking up a Canadian local municipal legend then I might think yes.

Anyway, hope that helps a little!
