Image SEO tips
Image SEO fundamentals
Images contribute to page experience (size, format, lazy loading) and can rank in Google Images. Descriptive file names, accurate alt text, proper dimensions and modern formats (WebP/AVIF) improve both accessibility and discoverability.
Alt text
Describe the image content and function; include a keyword only when natural.
File names
Use descriptive, hyphenated names: red-running-shoes.jpg instead of IMG_1234.jpg.
Performance
Compress, serve next-gen formats, set width/height and lazy-load below-the-fold images.
How to use this tool

Best practices

- Use responsive images (srcset) for different screen sizes.
- Add structured data (ImageObject) when images are primary content.
Frequently asked questions
Is alt text a ranking factor?
It supports accessibility and image search relevance. It is not a major ranking lever for regular web results but remains important.
Should every image have a unique file name?
Yes when the images are distinct. Reused stock photos can share names, but descriptive names still help organization and image search.
