How To Have A Town Show Up First In Search?

I was going through some of my images that need to be uploaded. I usually run a search of different terms to see how many images come up for certain keywords. So I put in Bowie, Texas (actual town in Northern TX) that came up with 126 results. Trouble is only about 15 images are actually taken in Bowie, TX. While there are a few that shouldn't be there, the rest come up for the Alamo in San Antonio, TX due to the fact James Bowie fought/died there.

So is there a way to tag specific towns to come up before other images that might have correlating tags that also fit? Many towns, not just in Texas, are named after people or places and there should be a way for the results to show what a customer is looking for first; in this case specific images from a specific town. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

its only by keyword and sometimes they line up with other words. i use every format bowie,tx,texas, bowie tx,bowie texas and any slogan it goes by if possible.

try typing "turkey" in - you get the bird, people living in turkey who thought it would be a good idea to add their home town in, even though its NY. and so on.

Funny you mention Turkey Mike, cuz there's actually a Turkey, Texas, which is hometown of Bob Wills the western swing musician. lol So putting up images from there would never be found, as the bird, country etc. would show up first. And this is why I asked my question. While some small towns don't have much for images; don't think Turkey has much, there are some that would search for it. Say if they read there was such a town or heard of it. Quite the conundrum.....

Here's a tid bit: Did you know there is a Batman, Turkey? Now how the heck would someone find images from there? :scratching head:

that's why i offer phrases, they will jump up higher in the search if you have them.
