Image Gallery - Name of the image files
-
I would like to know If I have a image gallery in my website, what name must I put in the image files? Can I associate with the my key-word?
Ex: Post about pizza buffet, and than... the images can have the name "pizza-buffet-01, pizza-buffet-02"? Is it wrong?
Thank you

Hi,
Allow me to join your discussion. I just want to make sure I understand it as it is. It will be fine if I have the following images on a single page? For example:
Image:Alt
pizza-buffet-01.jpg:Pizza Buffet 1
pizza-buffet-02.jpg:Pizza Buffet 2
pizza-buffet-03.jpg:Pizza Buffet 3
pizza-buffet-04.jpg:Pizza Buffet 4
Thank you!

You are accurately describing the images - definitely not spam. The more descriptive you can be, the better (which would also differentiate the file names).
Having files named pizza-buffet-pizzeria-best-pizza-buffet-1.jpg would be spammy.
-
But it's okay that the keyword appears in several photos at same time? This may seem a spam keywords?
Because there are several situations the same service, with a lots of photos and all of them would be appearing on the same keyword...

Yep, what you have is good. The image names/alt should be keyword friendly and describe the image. It would be better if you described it even more i.e. pizza-buffet-marriot, pizza-buffet-hilton

Questions about optimization for Google Images
Hello all, I've got a few quick questions about optimization for Google Image search. Would be great if someone could help me out with these. Is it possible to track and seperate visitors that reach my website through the images presented in the SERP's? Should we avoid changing high ranking pictures on important keywords? If we need to change the pictures what would the best strategy be? Replace the original filename and alt tag of the picture? Keep the orignal pictures but change the location of the pictures to a new post on our website? Thanks in advance!

SEO And Images: 2014 Tips
What is a good "image" strategy? All I really know is to make sure to use images that you create yourself and/or images that are approved for free commercial use and add alt tags. Right now, just making sure all our pages have images and updating some of the lower quality ones would surely help us, but I'm hoping someone can add a little detail into how best to use images for seo, conversions and how to avoid slowing our site way down by adding more (we do have the smushit plugin which helps some). Thanks, Ruben Our site is www.kempruge.com

Is city name really a no-no in Google+ Local description field?
I know that adding one's city name in the business name and category tags for Google+ Local is a no-no. And Google says so in its quality guidelines. But what about in the business description? I don't see that in Google's guidelines. Can anyone clarify?

Is a website with no images really a good idea?
I have a client who doesn't want to use any images at all on her website. It's a local hvac service provider. This thought has never even crossed my mind before. Who wouldn't want pictures? I know image optimization is important, and my mind keeps telling me that images are important for a good site and good user experience, but are they really necessary? I want a second opinion before I advise against not using any images.

Is it a bad idea to include a single keyword phrase at the end of the business name in Google Places?
I'm concerned about this for local SEO and citation purposes. It's not spammy and it flows well, and it sounds like a logical extension of our name, but I'm concerned that it will make it harder for Google to pick up our citations. Any thoughts?
