Let’s talk about something that might not sound super exciting but can seriously boost your visibility: ALT TEXT. Yep, those little descriptions you add to your website and blog photos are actually one of your best-kept secrets for getting found in a Google Image search.

If you’ve ever wondered how some photographers’ images magically appear in search results while yours seem to stay hidden, alt text could be the missing piece of the puzzle!

So, What Exactly is Alt Text?

Think of alt text like a photo’s elevator pitch. It’s a short description that tells search engines (and people who can’t see the image) what the photo is all about. And trust me, if you’re not using it, you’re leaving a lot of SEO goodness on the table.

Why Should You Care About Alt Text?

Alt text does a few powerful things:

• It helps your images rank higher in Google Image Search (hellooo, visibility! 👀)
• It makes your website more accessible for people using screen readers.
• And it’s an easy way to boost your overall SEO, helping more people find your gorgeous photography online.

But enough about why you need it – let’s talk about how to add it!

How to Add Alt Text to Your Photos:

Here’s the super-simple process:

1. Pick a photo (like one from a recent shoot or your portfolio).
2. Describe the image in a few words. Be specific! Instead of “pretty sunset,” try something like “golden sunset over a beach with palm trees.”
3. Add your alt text to your website or blog’s image settings. Most platforms like WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix make it easy to find this option when you upload a photo.

Boom! Now you’ve got an SEO-optimized image ready to be discovered by your future clients!
