Image SEO, optimize an image for SEO
Image SEO is optimizing images for SEO on a website for search engines. It includes using
relevant file names, alt tags, and image captions and compressing and resizing images for
faster loading times.
File names: Search engines use file names to understand the context of an image. File names
should be descriptive and relevant to the image's content.
Alt tags: Alt tags provide a text description of an image for visually impaired users or have
images turned off in their browsers. Alt tags should be descriptive and include relevant
keywords.
Image captions: Captions provide additional context for an image and can help search
engines understand its relevance to the surrounding content.
Compression and resizing: Large, high-resolution images can slow down a website's loading
times. Compressing and resizing images can improve performance and user experience.
Image Sitemaps: Submitting an image sitemap to search engines can help them to discover
images on a website, which can improve the visibility of images in image search results.
File names
The file name of an image is an important factor in image SEO, as the filename is metadata
used by the search engine to check the relevancy of your image, so be sure to name your
image file related to your keywords.
Compression and resizing
Image compression or optimization is the process of reducing the file size of an image
without compromising its quality.
There are various ways to reduce the file size.
Lossless Compression: This method reduces the file size of an image without losing any of
its quality. Lossless compression techniques include removing unnecessary metadata.
Lossy Compression: This method reduces the file size of an image by discarding some of its
quality. Lossy compression techniques include JPEG, which discards data that the human eye
is less likely to notice.
Resizing: By reducing the dimensions of an image, It will reduce the file size. It can also help
to improve website loading times.
Format Conversion: Some image formats are more efficient than others at compressing
files. By changing the image format, the file size will also reduce.
Optimizing images can improve a website's loading times, leading to a better user experience
and higher engagement. Additionally, smaller image files can save storage and bandwidth
costs for the website.
WebP: is an image format developed by Google that offers smaller file sizes than JPEG and
PNG while maintaining similar image quality. WebP offers superior compression while
retaining similar image quality.
Image captions and Alt attributes
Image captions are the text that appears below an image and provides additional context for
the image. Alt attributes are HTML attributes used to provide a text description of an image
for visually impaired users or have images turned off in their browsers.
In terms of SEO, captions and alt can play an important role in helping search engines
understand the relevance of an image to the surrounding text and the overall context of the
page.
Here are a few best practices for using image captions and alt attributes for SEO:
Use descriptive and relevant text: The caption and alt attributes should accurately describe
the image and its content and be relevant to the surrounding text and the overall context of
the page.
Include keywords: The caption and alt attributes should include relevant keywords to help
search engines understand the image's relevance to the page.
Keep it short: The caption and alt attributes should be brief and to the point, typically at
most a few words.
Concise: The caption alt attributes should be brief and to the point, typically no more than a
few words.
Place it close to the image: The caption should be placed close to the image, ideally
immediately below it, to indicate that it is associated with that specific image.
Image Sitemaps
An image sitemap is an XML file that lists the images on a website along with information
about each image, such as its location, caption, and title. Submitting an image sitemap to
search engines can help them to discover images on a website, which can improve the
visibility of images in image search results. An image sitemap can be a great way to ensure
that search engines discover all the images on a website and can help improve image SEO
and optimize an image for SEO.
By doing image SEO and optimizing an image for SEO, businesses can improve the visibility
of their images in search results, making it more likely that users will discover and engage
with their content. It can lead to increased traffic and, ultimately, more sales and conversions.
