Alt Text on Zoho Social

Alt Text on Zoho Social

Alt text, also known as alternate text or alternate tag, is a textual phrase used to describe an image on your social media account. Although search engines cannot crawl through images, alt text allows search bots to identify and understand your images and rank them accordingly. Note that an Alt Text only appears as a line of HTML code in the source code of your website or webpage.

Benefits of having an Alt Text added to your image 

Having a good alt text ascribed to your images can place them at the top of the search engine results page (SERP). This can help you drive more traffic to your website.
Visually impaired users utilize screen readers to understand pieces of information on a website. Adding alt text to your image makes your website accessible to all types of users.

You can include alt text only for images you choose to publish on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, and Mastodon.
