What's the issue

Alt text is the written description attached to an image. It tells Google, AI bots, and screen readers what the image shows. In Showit, you can add or update alt text directly in the image settings without needing to re-upload the image.

Why it matters

• Alt text is one of the most important image SEO signals. Google reads alt text to understand what your images show — without it, those images are invisible to search. It is also an accessibility requirement: visitors using screen readers rely on alt text to understand your content. Each image without alt text is a missed opportunity to reinforce your page topic and keywords.

What good looks like

A short, descriptive sentence that clearly describes what is in the image. For example: "Female brand photographer adjusting lighting in a Melbourne studio" or "Flat lay of wedding florals including white roses and eucalyptus". Not: "image1.jpg", a single word, or leaving the field blank.
