Add alt text to images

[abbychoff]

I have created a google sheet to start writing all the alt tags we want for images here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-xHlI7CH3J0xGq8UOOB3VGOV0sTdhOI3v-HwrsUOJEo/edit?usp=sharing

@namffoh3 Started a few but please edit, add more, or remove what you don't like.

I also pulled some SEO data with a free trial of a tool. Exported all the data and put it in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ahlFeTop-7Pmq9jQ1Wm0Sd2eWxf2oki_62_6x64e34o/edit?usp=sharing

View the sheet titled most relevant too use keywords that will optimize SEO in the alt text. In the search volume collum, I color-coded it so it is easy to see the highest to least search volume. The scale goes from dark (most) to light (least).

Highest searched key terms are:

• 3d letters
• custom signs
• 3d logo
• decorative letters
• big letters
• large letters

Looks great. Have a few questions on updating this/these sheets. Am I to be updating what I have for photos on this spreadsheet? Are these photos on the 'Your-Type/contact@your-type.com' google drive? Is that where these are linked to? One of my biggest reservations I need validation on is the naming of files etc.. Probably will be easiest to have a conversation about this but if you have examples of 'what do to this like' versus 'what not to do this like' that may be helpful. Discussing it however is totally fine with me and then I can do a few and have your review of those to validate what I have done is best etc..

Did this info add anything worth while to what you are doing/planning for?

From Star Tribune who we are doing some geofencing with...

Hi Todd! Here’s the STAAT tag information to place on your site to start tracking your first party analytics and to help potentially track people filling out forms on your site, signing up for e-mails, etc... It’s a pretty simple download and cut/paste. The tag doesn’t need to be altered in any way and I recommend placing it site-wide so we can get the most accurate snapshot of your site visitors.

Please let us have any questions about the installation. I also included WordPress installation instructions if your site is a WP site.

Happy to hop on the phone with your webmaster as well, if they have any questions too.

Thanks again!

@namffoh3 Not sure if that STAAT information helps. I think it is saying what we already know which is that we should have a alt text and change the file name to use keywords and descriptors to improve the SEO. In this spreadsheet, I also create a column for the image name. I am going to work on editing this copy today.
