Do the images on your website have alt tags? If they do, are the alt tags something like abc123.jpg? A very basic yet helpful search-friendly design practice is to include alt and title tags in each of your graphics to better describe what they are. This tells visual impairment devices what those pictures are, and it tells search engines what they are. If the alt tag is “Austin event planning company” instead of “abc123.jpg”, your website is recognized as more relevant to its actual subject matter.
