Image Alt Text – Automatic Optimization

Adding alt text (alternative text) to images is a crucial SEO practice. It helps search engines understand what your images represent, which can boost your visibility in image searches. Alt text also improves accessibility for users who rely on screen readers.

However, it’s easy to forget to add alt text during the image upload process. That’s where SureRank steps in.

How SureRank Helps

SureRank automatically checks for images that are missing alt text across your content. If an image does not have alt text, SureRank will automatically insert it using the image’s attachment title—which is typically the file name or the image title set during upload.

This functionality applies to:

• Post Thumbnails (Featured Images) – Ensures the main visual representation of your content is properly optimized.
  
• Images in Post Content – Any image inserted into your post or page body will also be scanned and updated if missing alt text.
  

This automation saves you time while ensuring your site remains SEO-friendly and accessible.

Why This Matters

• SEO Boost – Search engines index image content more effectively when descriptive alt text is available.
  
• Accessibility – Users with visual impairments rely on alt text to understand the context of images.
  
• Better User Experience – If an image fails to load, alt text provides a fallback description.
  

SureRank’s automated approach ensures no image is left behind—so you can focus on creating content, not managing alt text.
