Step 3: Add Alt Text for SEO Using H2 Rules

Alt text helps Google understand your image. Never skip this.

  1. Click your image in the post → Click "Properties"
  2. "Alt text" box → Type: How to + Action + Keyword. Example: How to add copyright free images to Blogger 2025
  3. "Title text" box → Type same as Post Title

Bad alt text to avoid: "image1", "photo", "pic". Google will ignore you.
