SEO Glossary

Alt text

Alt text describes the content of an image in words – for search engines and for people who cannot see images.

Alt text – explained simply

Google understands images better with alt text, and it helps them appear in Google Images. It is also essential for screen readers.

Good alt text describes what is shown and adds context – without stuffing keywords.

Practical tip for Swiss SMEs
