    Alt-text in Action Builder


      Article Summary

      Alt text (alternative text), also known as "alt attributes," or “alt descriptions," are used within an HTML code to describe the appearance and function of an image on a page. It helps you boost SEO by providing search engines with additional information about what is on a particular page. 

      Alt text is also important when browsers are unable to load a page properly, and the images are not displayed. In place of images, the website will show the alt text that describes what the image shows. If the alt-text is not set, the user will have no idea what image looks like, which will lead to a poorer user experience.

      Adding an Alt-text

      Open a template in Action Builder, then upload an image to it. After uploading, alt-text feature will be displayed on the right part.

      Write the description of the image with specific keywords. To write a good alt-text:

      • It is recommended that an it should contain maximum 125 characters. 
      • Use keywords about the image.
      • If your image is of a specific product, include both the full product name and the product ID in the text so that it can be more easily found.
      Your title goes here
      Remember that the alt-text is about the image you have uploaded. If you replace the image, you should change the text.

      Your title goes here
      The text is not displayed to the visitor on the webpage. Your alt-text is written into the HTML source code of your webpage. You can edit the text at any time via Action Builder.
