CustomGPT for ALT texts (SEO & accessibility)
ALT texts are an often underrated part of websites. They not only improve accessibility, but are also an important ranking factor for search engines. With my customGPT for ALT texts From now on, you can automatically create high-quality ALT texts for your images.
What is ALT text and why is it important?
An alt text (alternative text) describes the content of an image for search engines and screen readers. It appears when an image fails to load and helps people with visual disabilities capture the context of a web page.
Google uses ALT texts to better understand images and display them in image search results. At the same time, they are important for accessibility and compliance with legal requirements, such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
ALT texts for better Google rankings
Websites with well-thought-out ALT texts have an advantage in Google image search. They also improve your site's overall keyword relevance and thus contribute to better rankings in search results.
How ALT texts help blind and visually impaired people
Screen readers read ALT text aloud so that people with visual disabilities can understand what's in an image. Without this text, they often lack important context.
What makes for a good alt text?
Not all ALT text is automatically helpful. Good alternative text describes the image precisely, but without unnecessary details or filler words.
1) Descriptive but not too long
An ideal ALT text is concise. It should convey the essence of the image, but not contain unnecessary information.
2) Include relevant keywords (but don't exaggerate!)
Keywords can make alt texts more SEO-friendly, but only if they are included, of course. Keyword stuffing is rated negatively by Google and should be avoided.
3) No “picture of” or “photo of” phrases
ALT texts should directly describe the image content. Formulations such as
“Picture of” or
“Photo by”
are superfluous because screen readers already know that it is an image.
