Hi Jim,
I'd suggest writing about each model. Not everyone can easily look at a floor plan and see what's neat about it. Is the house great for multiple generations because it has a mother-in-law apartment? Good for aging in place because there's a downstairs suite and accessibility features incorporate throughout? If this is for a builder, does the builder offer options such as turning that fourth bedroom into a library or home office? If there's a home office with a separate entrance for clients, point that out. Talk about how wonderful the kitchen is, etc.

Dear Jim,
The ALT and TITLE on images are essential, but your page also needs text, text is the most important SEO tool at this time, so you should be describe in deep these homes, also you can add text such as "this home is ideal for ... ", etc. but think in "Good Text is the king for SEO"
Hope it helps

Thanks Claudio, that is what I already did but wondering if this enough or need more!

Thanks Keri,
the site mainly show real estate homes pictures [model name and image] so for example in the homepage I have slider with 5 images
The goal is to show homes [model, space, area, Amenities]
The images represent home floor, inside, etc.. but with no description text attached
Currently I added image alt/ title for each image and link as Claudio mentioned below but I'm wondering if this fair enough or need more .

Hello Jim,
You can do these simple steps:
1. Fill the ALT elements of your images be descriptive NO SPAM, usually short sentences with important keywords.
2. You can describe the images (200 words), also you can invite others to review these images, etc.
Hope it helps.

Are you prohibited from writing more text? What does the site sell / what is the goal of the site? Can you write more about the images?

How important is it to use a keyterm word-for-word to rank for that term?
I need your help to settle an argument here in our office. It boils down to improving our ranking for “driver education course Michigan.” One guy is convinced that if we want a site to rank for a multi-word keyterm like that, we need to use those exact words, in that order. He keeps creating pages with really awkward H1 titles and H2 subheadings using that exact phrase. H e claims appeal to search engines, but I think the cumbersome syntax is off-putting to any potential people who come to our site. Another guy claims that search engines are more sophisticated than that. He says we don’t need those exact words; it’s enough that the text on the page include “Michigan,” “driver education,” and “driver education course” a few times each. Even related terms like “drivers ed,” “driving school,” and “driver education classes” will help us to rank higher for “driver education course Michigan,” according to this guy. Neither of them can convince the other, and meanwhile I don’t know which to believe. Can you help?

Hi guys! Is there a tool (other than SEMRush) that can show you which keywords are ranking for Google Knowledge Graph? Thanks :)
I've also seen that you can get some data about this in Search Metrics but can't see where? Thanks for your help!

Domain Change, Lost ranking on 1 keyword
Hey guys, Long time follower of the Q&A forum, but don't post too often. I'm having an issue I never came across. We changed a domain from mpbuilderscincy.com to mpcincinnati.com. We did the 301 redirect and all the SEO flowed through pretty well. Most pages didn't even change in file structure so we didn't need to do page redirects for the most part. Anyway, long story short, we are seeing the same rankings as we had before now (it's been about 2 months) except for 1 and only 1 keyword. It's "Home Remodeling Cincinnati". We dropped from page 2, to page 11 on Google and it won't budge. Now on Yahoo and Bing, we are right back where we were before already with that keyword. But Google just refuses to bump us back to where we were before the change. The Home Remodeling page: http://www.mpcincinnati.com/Residential-Services/Home-Remodeling.aspx has an on page grade of A for that keyword and we have it as one of our main keywords on the home page of the site (title, h1, alt tags, etc). No errors on the page. I mean it looks pretty clean for this page as far as SEO except for 1 notice that mentions the 301 canonical redirect. We uploaded the new sitemap right away. I just can't put a thumb on it and wondering if you guys had any tips. Thanks, Chris

Any way to track rank of a URL for keyword BEFORE setting up in Rank Tracker?
Hello all I realize this data is probably impossible to get but thought I would take a chance and ask. Anyone know of a way to see ranking for a URL for a keyword before being setup in Rank Tracker? Would love to see how a URL moved up and down over time prior to tracking. I know its a long shot but if anyone knows its the Moz community! Have a great day people.

Keyword research tool - for off site results
New to Moz, and after playing with keyword research, it seems very comprehensive for analysing keywords based on my site content, and showing me how many people are visiting based on those keywords. However what I'm really looking for is 'alternative' keywords that are 'not' on my site, but still relevant to my sector, and how many searchers are using those. basic example My site is optimised for 'soccer for kids' which Moz shows me getting 50 hits for. Google KW tool reports that every month there are over 2000 searches for 'football for kids' Because my site has no mention of 'Football', Moz doesn't show this as an alternative KW Admittedly my site is new in Moz, so do I just wait a bit longer? or do I continue to use Google KW tool? I'm sure I'm missing the obvious. Thanks!

Manual Rankings or Automated? Plus and Minus?
Hi, I'm new to SEOMoz and one of the reasons I joined is for the automated keyword lookup feature. I have a few questions I'm hoping people here can sort out for me: Is SEOMoz is "danger" of losing the ranking tool as happened to Raven Tools? I've been doing manual keyword lookups for a very long time. With the # of KW (in multiple search engines) that I now need to track, a tool like SEOMoz seems invaluable. Now I appreciate that there are differences in the exact rankings, but I've noticed that while the SEOMoz google results are very close to my manual lookups (in Chrome Incognito mode), the Bing results are pretty far off. Is this a function of Bing? Or is this the nature of the beast? I'd like to save time by automating the lookups (and of course all of the other features in the rank tool), but I want to make sure I'm accurate. Are many people out there using an automated tool only? Thank you!

How reliable is GWT's keyword data & what is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for?
I have been monitoring the query data (keywords, average position, CTR, etc.) in GWT, but sometimes the ranking data seems off. I filter the dates for the past week, so it is the most recent. I manually check some of the rankings and they are way off. Does anyone have feedback on this? If you have access to multiple domain data, that would be great. What is the most accurate way of determining keywords you currently rank for? I have also used keywordspy, and that is off too!

How to find easy keywords to rank for?
We've got fantastic results from a keyword here. After we signed up for SeoMoz, we found that, for luck, this was a very easy keyword (1%) to rank for. How can I find more easy keywords?
