Remember to name and alt-text your images to grow your traffic
Posted by on December 13, 2025 at 12:46 amQuick reminder if you run a blog or post content online
Google can’t “see” images unless they’re named properly and have alt-text.
Most people upload stuff like img_4837.jpg That does nothing for search or accessibility.
Simple fix:
- Rename images with some SEO best-practice in mind e.g. lowercase letters, hyphen-separated keywords, relevant descriptive terms, no special characters or spaces, and optimal length (under 60 characters)
- Add a short descriptive alt-text not only is this important for search engines, it's also an accessibility feature for visually impaired users
Example:
home-office-desk-small-business.jpg
Alt-text: Small business owner working at a desk with a laptop -
