What is “alt text”?
“Alt text” makes image content accessible to visually impaired people through descriptive text. In addition to being a critical accessibility feature, it's an important part of SEO for search engines like Google and Pinterest who use the alt text to understand the image and the content around it so they can display it when it's relevant to the searcher's query.
What is Pinterest SEO?
Pinterest SEO is the process of optimizing your content to perform well on Pinterest search. Pinterest is oftentimes, mistakenly, thought as a social network like Instagram or Facebook, but its actually a visual search engine that surfaces Pins based on user queries. Pinterest SEO is intentionally modifying your Pins to perform well when search terms related to your business are used.
How can “alt text” improve my Pinterest SEO?
By intentionally including key terms in the alt text of your pin images, you signal to the Pinterest algorithm that your Pin is closely related to that term. Theoretically, the Pinterest algorithm should make those pins more likely to appear for those terms but algorithms are complex, and alt text is only one of the many factors the algorithm takes into account.
What are some best practices for using alt text to improve Pinterest SEO?
It's important that you think of alt text as an important accessibility feature first, and an SEO factor second. Abusing alt text descriptions, by cramming it full of keywords unrelated to the image, is viewed unfavorably by both search engines and, especially, the people who rely on those alt text descriptions to understand and use the internet.
Use the main keyword you are targeting in the Alt Text description (if appropriate) and keep the description succinct. Aim for the one sentence and only add a second if needed.
Write for humans. Since alt text often isn't visible under normal circumstances, some people write them carelessly. Use correct punctuation, complete sentences and proper grammar to give the visually impaired a good experience and your Pin the best possible chance of performing well in Pinterest search queries.
