Image Tool Tabs
The Image Collection allows you to edit image information with great detail. Each image has a Details, SEO, and Tags tab that allows you to modify the information for surface-level information, as well as SEO-level information.
To access the image details tab:
- Select the Pages tab at the top of your Websites app, and open a page containing an Image block or Image gallery block.
- Click the "pencil" icon next to any image.
Details tab
This tab is information your visitors can easily see on your website. These image details are easily editable, and can be used to customize hover effects.
- Title - Give your image a unique title.
- Description - Add a description of your photo if you want to give more information (useful for overlay and hover effects).
- Photo credit - Leave photo credit for photographers.
- Photo URL - If you would like to show where you got your photo from, enter the URL here.
SEO tab
The SEO tab is where you can add SEO details to your images, which will help your images (and your site) appear in image results on search engines.
- Alt title - The alt title will appear in the backend of your website's HTML. It does affect your SEO, so we recommend always filling out this field. Try to be as concise and accurate as possible, and use your targeted keywords.
- Alt description - The alt description is going to be the text that appears over the image as you hover over it. It will pull up in the website's HTML as the "title attribute", and can be a bit longer and more descriptive than your alt title name.
- Filename - This will be the name of the image file on the website's HTML, and can give search engines clues about the subject matter of the image. Naming your image file will be better for your website's SEO than leaving it with a generic name.
Note: If you are already filing out the Details tab information, we recommend also filling out the SEO tab. This will help improve your website's overall SEO, but if the SEO tab is not filled out, that information will automatically pull from the Details tab.
Tags tab
The tags tab is where you'll insert all of the tags used to help organize and sort the image within your Image Collection. This tab does not affect your website's SEO.
Settings tab
In the Settings tab (the "gear" icon), you can adjust the image's quality. Select Custom from the dropdown menu to fine-tune the quality settings.
