What Google reads#
Google's image guidance names descriptive file names, titles and alt text, and says alt text is the most important attribute for image metadata. It also improves accessibility for people who cannot see images.
Write it well#
- Say what the image shows, in a short sentence.
- Leave alt empty only for pure decoration.
- Put the image near the text it illustrates.
Fill the gaps#
