Benefits of Adding ALT Text for SEO
In the website SEO diagnostic tool provided by Baidu Webmaster Tools, there is a check for whether image attributes have alt descriptions added. It can be seen that Baidu does not ignore the alt tag of images, and alt descriptions make images easier to be indexed by search engines.
Search engines all have an image search channel, such as Baidu's image search address is http://image.baidu.com/. We don't know how Baidu crawls images and their corresponding descriptions from web pages and adds them to the index and ranking.
Based on my observation, if an image has no alt description, then Baidu will use the title of the web page as the image text description in „Image Search“. If the article on that page contains several images, then the descriptions of these images in Baidu„s “Image Search„ will be the same.
Baidu sometimes obtains relevant information from the text near the image, but if you add ALT information to the image, search engines will better understand what your image expresses.
At the same time, adding ALT descriptions to images means that when your website images fail to load, others can at least know the general content of your images through the ALT information.
