Apply SEO to your images on your site
Search engine optimization can be applied in many ways, we have already covered this in the knowledge base of MijnHostingPartner.nl. However, it is useful to be reminded of this every now and then. This way you stay focused on it and apply it more often.
In this blog post we are going to look at images and SEO. When someone searches on Google images and your image is well on top then of course it is only positive.
The first thing you need to pay attention to is the relevance of an image, does it make sense to place on the page? Make sure the image has something to do with the text or page.
You can also look at the technical side, take the HTML 5 tag that is used for an image:
You will see 3 tags, src , title and alt in this.
Src is the source needed to look up the image. You will see the server listed here and the directory structure in this. Try using https://www. To work. If the full URL is in here then it will be picked up better by the search engines.
Alt stands for the alternative text, if the image cannot be displayed then this text will be displayed. How much influence this tag has on SEO is a point of discussion, but it never hurts to put your domain name here again. For the rest you can take a number of keywords from the specific page to put in.
The title of your image you can relate to the image or the page, within the knowledge base we mainly work with the topic. Installation of Wordpress could then be wordpressInstallation1.png. The literal Title tag will be visible on your page, incorporate keywords into this as well. Remember, however, that this will also be read by people, so it should not just be keywords. This is not nice for the user to read.
In the Metatags descriptor you can also add some keywords to your image. This is also applicable to SEO. However, this is also a point of discussion, because Google has adjusted its search algorithm so that this has less influence on your position.
The layout of your image is also important within your web hosting, make sure your image fits nicely between different screen sizes. Also make sure that it fits nicely on mobile devices.
With the above tips, we hope you will start paying more attention to your images on your page. Do you have any suggestions or success stories with SEO?
