How To Add Alt Text To Your Images

Search engines read code, but they can’t yet read your images.  They say, “A picture says a 1000 words” but when it comes to Alt text, a sentence is all we need.

Alt text serves a few purposes as follows:

• If your image cannot display for any reason, the text will display and describe the content of the image to the user.
• Users relying on speech to text software to visit your site will be better able to understand your content if you have an Alt text description of the image.
• Search engines will be able to interpret your image using the Alt text.

The Alt attribute is integrated into the HTML source code. See the following example:

[<img src=”imagelocation.jpg” alt=”this is the description of my image”>]
