Image Description Text (ALT Text) and SEO

 

Search engines use keywords (META Tags) to catalog your web site. The bots cannot 'see' the images so it's important to include Alternative Text (ALT Text) to let the search engines and visually impaired persons know information about the image. This is also an opportunity for you to include your practice name or domain name in search engine results.

This tip will show you how to add ALT Text to images in your eVetsite III website.
