Google Images is a way to visually discover information on the web. As more and more people search on Google Images, it’s important to make sure that your images are accessible and provide a great user experience.
Here are some Google Image SEO best practices:
- Display images only where they add original value to the page.
- To ensure maximum accessibility of your content, keep text in HTML and provide alt text for images.
- Create device-friendly sites: Users search on Google Images more from mobile than on desktop.
- Optimize for speed: Likewise, the filename can give Google clues about the subject matter of the image.
- Make sure your alt text is useful: Also, alt text in images is useful as anchor text if you decide to use an image as a link.
- Host images using a CDN: This allows you to use CDNs (content delivery networks) to host images.
- Inline images as Data URIs: You can also inline images as Data URIs. For more on this, refer to the section on pros and cons of inlining images on Google’s web.dev site.
