Optimize Your Images For Google Image Search

Images added to your Wix website can be found by image search engines such as Google Image Search. This means that you can drive traffic to your site with your images!

What are image names?

  • Providing names for your images is done using what is called Alt Text.
  • Alt Text provides users and search engines with information about your images. Search engine robots are unable to "read" images - only text. Alt Text provides information about your images to search engines.

Which of Your Images Should Have Alt Text?

  • Images that add information or value to the user. Decorative images that are merely aesthetic and are not relevant to your site's content, do not need Alt Texts.

How to Add Alt Text to Your images?

With Wix, it's easy! Simply follow these steps:

1) Within the website editor, click on your image gallery.
2) From the gallery property panel, click Organize Images.
3) From the Organize Images panel, select the image you want to update.
4) Add a Title to the image. The title will be associated by search engines to your image and will help them understand it. The title will also be used as alt text.

5) You can also add more general details about the image in the Description area. Search engines will associate the description with your image and can better index it.

Note: The image title and description are the latest schema.org html standard and recommended by the major search engines.
