[question]
What’s the SEO best practice for labeling images?
[/question]
[answer]
Web-crawling spiders can’t read images, so it’s essential to create alternative text tags (“ALT text”); these also will appear when mousing over the image.
The best practice is to name the image with the keyword you are targeting in the article. If your keyword phrase is “growing roses indoors”, you could name the image “growing-roses-indoors.jpg.”
Additionally, give the image an ALT description tag that includes your keywords phrase.
Example:
<img src=” growing-roses-indoors.jpg” alt=”Growing Roses Indoors”>
