    In simple words, ALt texts on images allows Google Bots to know the keywords of the image to rank in the search engine. Whenever, someone searches for Google Images with your ALT text keyword then it would pop in the images search. It will also link to that article directly on your blog.

    Alt text is a tenet of accessible web design. Its original (and still primary) purpose is to describe images to visitors who are unable to see them. This includes screen readers and browsers that block images, but it also includes users who are sight-impaired or otherwise unable to visually identify an image.
