Maybe you have heard that adding “Alt Text” to your image description is important? Well, your alt text for images is what Google reads as the image’s anchor (when said image is part of a link).

Image anchors are healthy because they diversify your anchor text profile. Plus, they can improve your SEO for Google images. You want to write descriptive alt text for the image link.

And perhaps most importantly, alt text provides an image description for those using screen readers—so be careful to make sure your alt text is concise and accurately describes the image in question!

Image Anchor Examples:

• Affordable cat trees for apartments
• Omaada’s link building strategy guide
• LifeStraw travel accessories
