Ever heard about Online Reputation Management? I am sure you would have and the specifications attached to it. But have you ever given a minute of thought to the importance of images for a site to hit the charts of success. I bet most of you haven’t. Being a SEO obviously it’s not under your job profile to ponder over the images used on your site. For most of us it’s only to be taken care during the stages of website designing. But, this is one of the biggest pitfalls any professional SEO can fall into.
Let me make it a bit clearer for you. Take a situation when a customer searches for an image of your product he/she is interested in. But contrary to the expectation instead of properly picked images, the customer finds out some immaturely clicked ones with a backdrop of home accompanied with some other related images by Google. As a result, all his/her curiosity in your product is going to end nowhere. The customer gets put-off and your sheer negligence towards online reputation has just changed your score to one down.
So, if you haven’t been taking the saying ‘first impression is the last impression” seriously then take it now. Image optimization is no rocket science; it’s just another aspect of your search engine optimization strategy that you have been neglecting. Just a couple of minutes dedicated to file names and sizes and here you are all done. Not to forget to include the usual game of keywords. A bit of free advice would also include a little bit focus on 0ff-page SEO to make your images reach every corner of search engines.
