See Accessibility tab for detailed alt text quality analysis.

Search engines use filenames as a signal. Rename to descriptive names like 'team-photo.jpg'.

Why this matters

Most image filenames are non-descriptive (hash/IMG_X) — small SEO miss for Image Search ranking.

Missing schema opportunities

  • easy

    FAQPage

    Page has Q&A-style content (questions in headings) that could be marked up as FAQPage

    FAQ rich results take 2-3× more SERP real estate

Adding these recommended fields improves chances of getting Organization knowledge panel in search results.

Why this matters

Schema entity has required fields but could add recommended ones for richer SERP layouts (star ratings, prices, etc.).
