What should I write in a photo's description?

Open a photo in the Media tab and you'll find a box for a short description — one plain line saying what's in the picture (it helps Google and blind visitors).

  1. In the left menu under Your Website, click Media.
  2. Open the photo.
  3. Type one plain line in the description box.
  4. Press Save.

This line does two jobs. It helps Google understand the photo, and it's read aloud for blind visitors.

A good one: "New tankless water heater installed in a Mesa garage." A bad one: "IMG_4032," or a pile of sales words. One sentence is plenty.

Why this matters

A plain description helps Google show your photo to more people, and it makes your site work for everyone. Both are small wins that add up.
