Is it better to publish a post once writing is done, or wait to publish a week later when photos are finalized?

Hi all,

I've heard that posts with original photos are generally more successful than articles with stock photos. But I generally batch all my photo production and editing in one sitting.

So far, I've been writing a number of articles and waiting to publish them until I perfect the photos.

My rationale is that if I publish without photos, Google may decide to rank me lower because I lack photos.

I'm concerned that if I later return to the article and add photos, Google may not "notice" because I missed the window of when they first noticed that post on my site.

At the same time, I've heard it can take months or years for a post to rank on Google, so it's better to publish sooner than later so you can start that timer.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.
