How to Optimise Your Website for ‘Search Beyond Text’ (Images, Videos & AI)

Non-text elements, such as images, video, audio, and AI rich media, help engage and retain website visitors. These elements improve the quality of your web pages, at the same time, search engines are also improving when it comes to reading non-text images. 

Image Optimisation

Content that contains images performs better than plain text. Images are also an opportunity for optimisation that many website owners ignore:

  • Image – choose an image that relates to the content, using an original image adds value
  • Format – save the image in a format search engines are able to index. These file formats include PNG, GIF, and JPEG
  • Name – describe the picture using your targeted and relevant keyword in the file name
  • Alt text – add a brief description in the HTML tag enabling it to be read by search engines and those using screen readers
  • Context – provide context by describing in a caption to include keyword used in your file name
  • Size – keep image sizes small, while ensuring the highest quality
  • Sitemap – create an image sitemap that lists all your images and submit this to the search engines to boost visibility
