What is Image Optimization? How does AIM optimize images?

Image SEO was always important but with changing search algorithms, this is becoming increasingly relevant. Below is how AIM optimizes images.

01
01
Image File Name

Use short, descriptive file name with your relevant keywords in the file name. For eg a name like my-new-black.kitten.jpg is better than IMG00023.JPG. Also avoid generic file names like Image1.jpg

03
03
Image Captions

Image captions appear adjacent to an image or below it. They are used to convey additional information about the image. Unlike alt text, image captions are always visible. Image captions should always be different from the image alt text.

05
05
Use HTML image elements to embed images

Google does not index images from CSS and prioritizes a page’s HTML for indexing. To help Google find and index images one must use standard HTML image elements. Google can find images in the “src” attribute of the “img” element.

07
07
Consider Image compression

Compressing images before loading them onto your website will help improve page loading speed and user experience. You can also consider reduced file sized images.

09
09
Optimize the image landing pages

The content and metadata optimization of the page where the image is embedded can influence where the image may appear in search results. Hence optimization of the image landing pages is helpful.

02
02
Use of Alt-Text

The most important attribute for providing more metadata for an image is “Alt text” or “Alternative Text”. This is text that describes an image. This text only appears on the page when the image fails to display but greatly helps search engines gather data about the image. This also helps people who can’t see images on webpages, including people who use screen readers or have low-bandwidth connections.

04
04
Image File Type

Google supports image file formats that are BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, and AVIF. JPEG is a great choice and offers good compression levels.

06
06
Create Image Sitemaps

You can further help Google discover your images by submitting an image sitemap. Unlike regular sitemaps, you can include URLs from other domains in the elements of the image sitemaps. You can use CDNs (content delivery network) to host images.

08
08
Responsive Images

It is critical to ensure that images are images can load well on a plethora of device types like cell phones, tablets etc. Non responsive images hurt your SEO as well as leave a negative user experience.

10

Add Structured Data

Structured data can help display your images in certain rich results, including a “prominent badge” in Google Images. Image attribute is a required field to be eligible for a badge and rich result in Google Images.

Jennie Morris
I can't say enough about AIM. I knew nothing about designing or managing my Website and was completely unaware of the work and time that goes into SEO etc. They worked with me from the ground up, are always available and kind and prompt with responses and getting anything, and I mean anything done!  Wonderful to work with and so knowledgeable. I could not be more grateful or happy with their service and their team.

Being in an extremely competitive and harsh market, I'm amazed that AIM has taken my E-commerce startup business from ground zero to the top page of some of our Google keywords in less than 6 months. They’re easy and friendly to work with even when I have been difficult. They have offered suggestions and ideas for my site that I have not known possible. All around a great adventure and experience, looking forward to a very profitable future with their help. Many Thanks!!
