<li>Don’t start with “Image of” or “Picture of”</li>
<li>For decorative images, use empty alt text</li>
<li>Include text that appears in the image</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Examples:</strong></p>
<p>❌ Bad: “image123.jpg”<br />
❌ Bad: “Picture of a dog”<br />
✅ Good: “Golden retriever playing fetch in a park”</p>
<p><strong>SEO Tips:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Include relevant keywords naturally</li>
<li>Don’t keyword stuff</li>
<li>Make it useful for users first, search engines second</li>

Smart Alt Manager


I didn't realize how inconsistent my alt text was until I started using this regularly. Some images had good descriptions, others had filenames, and many had nothing.



Instead of fixing everything at once, I just started cleaning things up gradually. A few images per session. It adds up faster than you'd think.



The dashboard widget helps in a subtle way. I don't obsess over it, but seeing the coverage improve over time is motivating.



Also, the suggestions help when I'm tired or not in the mood to think too much. I adjust them slightly and move on.



It's one of those tools that works best when you don't overthink it.
