It&#8217;s recommended that every post should include pictures as visual search is getting increasingly more important, for more information about this, check out Google\u2019s vision for the visual of search. Therefore using images not only make an article more appealing but also could provide you with an increase in traffic. If you have visual content, image SEO should be high on your agenda.<br \/>\nGoogle\u2019s most recent interface for Image Search was released at the start of August 2019, with features such as filters, metadata and attribution, which shows that Google has increased knowledge about what is in an image and how it fits into the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c8030ca {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c8030ca\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Selecting the Best Photo to Use<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c8030d7 {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c8030d7\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]Rather than stock photos, it\u2019s always better to original photos rather than stock photos, for example, your team pictures should be your actual team, rather than everyone in your company looking like models.

For example, I have used the photo that I took when I was travelling the east coast of Australia to demonstrate the importance of not using stock images and the fact you are reading about it now puts the image into context and is therefore relevant to the article. If you just choose any random photo to complete your SEO plugin\u2019s content analysis, then you need to re-evaluate your SEO strategy.

Your need Google and other search engines to know what is in the image with even looking at it. For example, the image is of a sunset in Thailand, then the file name should be \u201cThailand-beach-sunset.jpg, not the original file name such as \u201cIMAG8482\u201d. The main key phrase or keyword should come first at the beginning of the file name, as its the main subject of the image, for instance, Thailand.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c8034ce {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c8034ce\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"gem-image gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-default gem-wrapbox-position-below\"  style=\"\"><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner \" ><img class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/generateleads.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/GLO-Thai-Beach-Sunset-SEO-Image-Optimisation-Example.jpg\" alt=\"Thailand Beach Sunset\"\/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c803768 {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c803768\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>The Correct Format<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c80377d {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c80377d\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]The correct format depends on the image and its application and therefore, there isn\u2019t a best image format to always use. For instance, image formats are used for the following reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>J<\/strong><strong>PEG<\/strong> \u2013 for larger photos or illustrations (it will give you good results in terms of colours and clarity with relatively small file size)<\/li>\n<li><strong>P<\/strong><strong>NG<\/strong> \u2013 to preserve background transparency<\/li>\n<li><strong>W<\/strong><strong>ebP\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0to produce high-quality results with smaller file sizes (you can use tools like Squoosh to convert your image into WebP)<\/li>\n<li><strong>S<\/strong><strong>VG<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0for logos and icons (with help of CSS or JavaScript you can manage SVG images such as resizing them without loss of quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caniuse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CanIuse.com<\/a> can check whether the format you intend to use is supported by the browsers or devices that the largest part of your target audience use.

The image load time is very important when it comes to user experience and search engine optimisation.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to resize the image to the size you want it to be displayed. WordPress actually helps by providing several different sizes of the image after upload that show depending on the display, however, this doesn\u2019t mean to the file size is optimised as well, therefore you should have the file size as low as possible without being pixelated.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c80379f {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c80379f\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Responsive Images<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-637141c8037a9 {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-637141c8037a9\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text]Having responsive images is an essential factor for image SEO, however, WordPress has made this easy since it was updated to version 4.4, where the platform makes images responsive for you.
