This is a medium priority SEO tip.

This search engine optimization tip is important for your website for the following reasons:

Alt attributes help search engines to understand what are the images about or what a text image reads. It's not recommended to use a text image but, if it's a must, you should use an alt attribute over it. Search engines can't read the texts inside images, that's why you should add an alt attribute to them. If there is no text inside the image, a short description of that images is good too.

Search engines gives a lot of value too alt attributes and you should consider adding your keyword phrase inside them. You shouldn't exaggerate and add the same keyword phrase inside the alt attribute of to many images, because this would be considered as keyword stuffing and your website could be penalized or even worse, banned.
