WordPress image SEO: alt text, accessibility & rankings

Images drive Google Images traffic and accessibility compliance — but most WordPress libraries are full of missing, filename-like, or weak alt text. This hub explains what matters, how to audit it, and how OpptiAI Alt Text Generator fixes it inside wp-admin.

Why WordPress image SEO matters

Search engines and screen readers both need a text equivalent for informative images. Weak coverage quietly costs rankings, usability, and trust.

Google Images visibility

Clear alt text helps images get indexed and understood — especially for product and content photography.

Accessibility / WCAG

Informative images need meaningful alternatives. Decorative images need empty alt — not keyword stuffing.

Scale problem

Hand-editing Media Library items does not scale past a few dozen images. Bulk scan + review does.
