Image descriptions

Site URL: https://www.at-y.com/

Can any SEO experts confirm that it's worth writing all the image descriptions for each image in a gallery block?

Are these actually getting indexed by google because when I check my Google Console it seems all my image urls are excluded.

Just would love confirmation either way before I waste more time describing all of these pictures.

Thank you

I need to know this as well. Squarespace help has no advice that I could find on this. Am I just wasting my time adding descriptions if they are not searched by Google.  It seems the auto import of descriptions in embedded metadata is broken also.

I just stumbled upon this with the same question in mind. Would love if someone knowledgable could chime in and let us know! 

It is the best practice to add "alt tag" to all images. If there is an option to add "alt tag" you must add them. There are a lot of searches by image. So, you have to have a valid image name and "alt tag"

Hey there, yes—definitely add alt-image info for gallery block images in Squarespace. 

Here are the best practices:

• the alt-image text should be 125 characters or fewer
• add unique natural-language keywords to each alt-image tag
• before you upload images to Squarespace, rename them using your alt-image info

Hope that helps 🙂

My images are not indexing in Google Search Console despite adding alt-image text. I'll try using unique natural-language keywords as you suggested.

Thanks for the tip @EllaSEO
