Alt text is the written copy that helps search engines and visually impaired people understand what your images are about. It’s also known as “alt tags” and “alt descriptions.”
You’ve probably seen alt text on other websites when the images failed to load properly. Think sentences like “A classic carrot cake with yogurt frosting.”
Even though search crawlers are getting better and better at recognizing images, they still can’t match our vision. That’s where alt text steps in. Alt text helps search crawlers to understand visual content better – it eliminates the guesswork!
When search crawlers can understand your images, they can index them properly. As a result, you have better image SEO and can rank higher for your keywords. This means more organic traffic to your website.
Above all, alt text helps visually impaired users to enjoy your web content. When you have alt tags, screen readers can read them to your visitors, significantly improving your store’s UX. Making your store accessible to everyone is simply the right thing to do.
If you have a large Shopify store with many product pages, chances are you have many images, too. Optimized alt tags ensure all your visitors can use images on your store to make their purchase decisions regardless of their visual ability.
Think of alt text as an important part of your product descriptions.
The more optimized images you have, the better are your chances to get organic traffic from search results.
Just think of all the other Shopify stores you could outrank on Google (or other search engines) with better alt tags! Likely, some of your competitors don’t even have alt text.
