Image SEO: How Google Finds Your Photos

Search engines cannot "see" images like humans do. They read the file name and the so-called alt text (alternative text) to understand what is shown in an image.

The Two Most Important Optimizations:

  1. Descriptive File Names: Rename your images before uploading them.
    Bad: IMG_5432.jpg
    Better: carpentry-bern-solid-wood-table.jpg
  2. The Alt Text: Briefly describe what is seen in the image within your CMS. This also helps visually impaired people and is an important ranking factor.
What MarketGoo Checks: The tool scans all your subpages and lists exactly which images are missing alt text. This saves you the trouble of manually searching every single page.
Optimize Images, Boost Ranking: Use MarketGoo to find all SEO gaps in your media library.
