SEO Image Optimization Process

1. Image Selection:

• Category: Choose the relevant category of the image (e.g., Monthly SCMR-5, Classified Image, Promotional, Announcement).
• Size: Ensure the image is the correct size for its intended use (website, advertisement, print).
• Format: Use appropriate image formats like JPEG for photographs, PNG for graphics, and SVG for logos and icons.

2. Compression and Optimization:

• Tool(s): Use tools like TinyPNG, ImageOptim, or Photoshop’s “Save for Web” feature to compress images without losing quality.
• Compression Settings: Target a file size reduction of at least 30% while maintaining a visually acceptable image quality.
• Resolution: Keep the resolution under 150 dpi for web use. For print, higher resolution may be needed.
• Test Performance: Check load times using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to ensure the images do not affect the site’s performance.

3. Alt Text Optimization:

• Purpose: Alt text helps with SEO, accessibility, and ensuring that search engines understand the content of the image.
• Structure:
  • Primary Keyword: Always include the primary keyword or key phrase for the image’s subject.
  • Description: Provide a brief description of what the image depicts.
  • Length: Aim for 100 characters or fewer (less than 125 characters is ideal).
• Example: For an image of a classified ad for a “Promotional Sale”:
  • Alt Text: “Promotional Sale on Electronics – Discounted Smartphones Available – SayPro Classified”

4. Title Tag Optimization:

• Purpose: Title tags serve as a tooltip when the user hovers over the image. They also help with SEO and user experience.
• Structure:
  • Descriptive Title: Create a short but descriptive title for the image.
  • Incorporate Branding: Include the name “SayPro” for consistency and branding.
• Example: For a promotional sale image:
  • Title Tag: “SayPro Classified Promotional Sale – Best Electronics Deals”

5. File Naming Convention:

• Purpose: Use descriptive, keyword-rich filenames that are easy to understand for both humans and search engines.
• Structure:
  • Descriptive and Clear: Avoid using generic filenames like “image1.jpg.” Instead, name it something like:
    saypro-classified-promotional-sale-smartphone-discount.jpg.
• Example: For an image of discounted electronics:
  • Filename: “saypro-classified-promotional-sale-smartphone-discount.jpg”

6. Image Captioning (Optional but Recommended):

• Purpose: Captions add context to the image and can improve engagement on web pages or in newsletters.
• Structure: Briefly describe the image and how it relates to the content. Keep it short and informative.
• Example: For an image of discounted electronics:
  • Caption: “Explore the latest smartphone deals on SayPro Classified. Limited-time offer on top brands.”
