Use Alt Tags<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alt tags, also known as alternative text tags, are an important part of web design and development. They provide a description of the content of an image on a website, which can be read by screen readers and search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the primary reasons to use alt tags is to ensure accessibility for people with visual impairments. Screen readers rely on alt tags to provide a description of the content of images on a website. Without alt tags, the user may not be able to understand the context of the image and may miss important information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alt tags are also important for search engine optimization (SEO). Search engines use alt tags to understand the content of images on a website and to rank them in search results. Including relevant keywords in alt tags can help improve the ranking of your website in search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason to use alt tags is to address image loading issues. Sometimes images fail to load properly on a website due to slow internet connections or technical problems. In such cases, alt tags can be used to provide a description of the image, ensuring that the user still has access to the content even if the image fails to load.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tips To\u00a0 Use Alt Tags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be descriptive: Alt tags should accurately describe the content of the image.

The first step is to build a website that aligns with marketing goals, then optimize it with SEO. To make a website rank on the top of SERP, it is important to choose keywords wisely, include highly-researched and easy-to-understand content, build quality backlinks, ensure mobile responsiveness, and use alt tags.
