How to ALT tag correctly many similar images?
-
scenario: I have a product page with some text about the product and 12-15 different images af the product: details, colours, different views...
how should I name an alt tag them correctly, been them actually really similar?
Is it keyword stuffing to use the same name containing a relevant keywords?
-
Yeah, just keep it natural - if that is the best way to describe the image, then go for it. If something else is a better way, then choose that.

Hi Marcus, everything make sense
but if the name of "Product A" contains a relevant keyword, at the end we have 15 keyword repetition in one page. would be ok?
-
I agree,
Just kind of describe what it's showing of a specific picture. Just keep in mind the "real" use of alt text, Accessability for people without a monitor, if you keep that in mind, you should be golden.

Just try to be as honest and descriptive as possible. Consider you were not doing it for a search engine but that you were doing it for a blind site user who would want as much info as possible.
Product A - Side View
Product A - view from top
Product A in Red
Product A in Blue
etc
Tough and alt text is often a mess, or repeated in these cases so just describe each image as best and as naturally as possible and you will be okay.

Logo Image H1 Tag SquareSpace
We have a site hosted on SquareSpace: Roomhance.com Going through the on-page optimizaton tool, we noticed that the H1 tags weren't fully optimized. If you click on view source on the page, it shows 2 H1 tags on the home page: id="logoImage"><a <span="" class="html-attribute-name">href</a><a <span="" class="html-attribute-name">="</a>/">src="//static1.squarespace.com/static/5bcca055ab1a62465f5b9ee7/t/5c18feb270a6adf771765799/1588613682225/?format=1500w" alt="Virtual Staging For Real Estate | Roomhance" /> style="text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap;">Virtual Staging The 2nd one shown above it the H1 tag we want. I'm wondering if the H1 tag in the logo image is hurting us for SEO? Can't figure out how to modify it in SquareSpace.

Image Tags And Titles
Hi, I am currently revamping my website with a new look. Some questions i have with regards to the images found on a page. I know that we need an alt tag for each image. This should not be keyword spammed. However, what about the title tag for the image? What is the best practice for image title tags? Should it be the same as the alt tag? Should it be different? Should I leave it blank? If I am running a wordpress platform for my website. The defaulted settings for wordpress is that all images inside a post are clickable. When clicked, the page loads from abcdef.com/page/ to abcdef.com/page/image.jpg. This seems to be generating alot of internal links but I don't see the value of loading an image when my visitors click on that. Should I let the image be clickable or remove the link on the image for best SEO practices? Thanks for your advice. paul
