  • Christine Hansen: Group expertA visually impaired or blind person also has money and buys from the internet. As a consumer, I use Google Image Search often to find an item I need. In Google Image Search, filename and alt texts are ranking factors.

  • Cambridge Jenkins IV: What time?

    Writing alt text takes like 2.5 seconds

    It helps you get found.

    And it helps disabled people find you.

    No brainer.

    Do it.

  • Cambridge Jenkins IV: Niclas Jönsson bruh lol...

    Sorry about that.

    Of course, I would recommend adding alt text creation to your SOP so you never have to play catch-up again.

    For me, alt text is just a standard part of my process.

    Once you get caught up, I think you should make it a standard part of your process too

    Good luck!

  • MichaÅ‚ Borzyszkowski: Pro tip (): Contact you webdeveloper and ask him to put alt text on product Images the same as product name.

    He will change 2 lines of code in templates (one for category page and one for product page) and it`s done on all 95, 000 or 1, 000, 000, 000 products for existing and all new products
