Quick Tip: How to optimize your images for search engines

The optimal selection and placement of keywords is an important factor to consider when optimizing a website for search engines. The title and the description of images are without doubt, of great importance for SEO. We’ll show you how you can easily edit your pics for a better search engine ranking!

After selecting keywords, place them where they influence search engine ranking. SEO-friendly locations are:

• The title of the website header
• The subtitle of the website header (if any)
• The text circulated by the page
• The Alternative Text

At Webnode, you can add a description to the images located in a text box (e.g.: an image within an article of your blog). To do this, go to your website editor and find your content box with your image. Right-click the image in your content box, then select “Image Properties”. Add the appropriate keywords in the “Alternative Text” field.
