I am noticing a weird SEO behavior and would appreciate any feedback.

-Post Album with title "Soccer Match ABC vs XYZ". Now post photos with the same album title plus player names.
-Once Google has spidered the website, narrow the search for last 24 hours with your sitename i.e. xyz.com
-Google displays "Soccer Match ABC vs XYZ" (album) plus all photos i.e. "Soccer Match ABC vs XYZ - Player 01" ,"Soccer Match ABC vs XYZ - Player 02" and so on...
-Now search for something like "xyz.com Soccer" and it picks only the Album and not individual photos which hurts SEO a lot as there's just one album but tons of photos...

Does someone know if this is something on Google end or on Gallery side. If it's Gallery related, we should really try to address it.

Thanks,
Mick

Not really enough info to go on here. It could also be how Google determines the dates it uses when you narrow by date. (e.g. It's possible that Google looks at the photo's metadata to determine if it qualifies as the "last 24 hours" or not.)

Generally, if Google indexed it, but doesn't show it in search results, that's a Google decision. If, however, it's not being indexed, that may or may not be a Gallery issue.
