As previously noted, images can be tough for Google to index. There are some things you can do, however, to help us better understand the images on your site. Annotate your image in alt text, as shown above, and optionally in plain visible text near your image. Your visible comment before or after the image can be whatever you like, but it's best to stick with a concise version for the alt-text; no need, for instance, to include the word "image" or "photo," since Googlebot already sees the image tag. Using descriptive filenames can be helpful to Google, and also for your users who may download your images. “googlebot.jpg,” for instance, instead of “photo.jpg.” By annotating your images in these ways, you're not only helping sight-impaired users who may be accessing your site with a screen reader, but you're also giving Google a better understanding of the images and improving the chances of your images showing up for relevant queries in Google Image Search.
