This week’s Vortex Marketing Minute’s SEO Tips 5 & 6, we explain the importance of optimizing image alt tags and image size.
“Number 5: Image alt tags
An alt tagged image helps describe what the picture is to Google. Presently, google isn’t smart enough to look at a picture and understand what it is. It is imperative that each image has a descriptive image alt tag. An alt tag is also used for accessibility readers so, for better search engine optimization use alt tags
Tip number six: Image size optimization
Slow loading images on a website are a drag and Google thinks so too. Make sure that your images are sized to the exact size that the file size is small and that they load quickly. Google will rank you higher and your users will thank you too. Plus, they won’t bounce off your page.”
Optimizing image alt tags and image size is a small, but important tactic in on-page SEO.
