The Alt Attribute

Alternative text allows you to add a description to an image.

This is important for your website as search engine crawlers cannot see images, they rely on alternative text attributes to determine the relevance of an image to a search query.

Alternative text also helps makes an image more likely to appear in a Google image search and is used by screen readers to provide context for visually impaired users.

If you search for used Audi for sale in Google images you will see examples of cars for sale. Those images that are well labelled with alt text or alternative text will perform better in search results and encourage users to click through to your website.

Try to keep your alternative text to a simple, one-sentence description of what’s in the image.

Alternative Text and SEO

A car dealer website has by it’s nature a lot of text content and images.
