Best strategy for images filenames?
-
Hi community!
For this case, which would be the best strategy for image filenames?
This is a funiture company, with its own brand. What they sell is what they have created and designed
Let's think on a kitchen. And we have a page we want to rank for the primary Kw "modern kitchen", and secondaries "white modern kitchen", "modern minimalist kitchen", "modern kitchen designs".
-
Would you use the brand name in the filenames? I mean:
---------- white-modern-kitchen-brandname.jpg
---------- modern-minimalist-kitchen-brandname.jpg
---------- modern-kitchen-brandname.jpg -
Would you use just the kws in the filename and the brand in the alt text?
---------- filename: white-modern-kitchen.jpg Alt: "White Modern Kitchen, Brand"
or should we use the brand in both items: filename and Alt?
¿Which would be the best way to do it in this case?
Any suggestions? Thank you!

I agree with Andy. Using the brand name is especially applicable if they have established themselves as a brand, and many of the search terms sending visits to the site are also brand tagged.

Hi,
Here are 3 resources that I suggest you have a read through as there is lots of great information:
- Image Optimisation Techniques - Shopify
- Optimising Images -Yoast
- Optimising images for SEO - eConsultancy
You want to make your images as descriptive as possible, but not spammy. If it makes sense and explains the product, then you should be good to go.
Personally, from the examples you give above, I would go with something like:
---------- white-modern-kitchen-brandname.jpg ALT=Beautiful white kitchen from brandname
That sort of thing.

SEO Strategy - Content/Outreach/Links
Hi everyone I'm trying to prioritise my tasks for 2018 & wondered if anyone had any useful templates they use? In terms of SEO tasks, my priority was going to be content/outreach/links - Focusing on user guides/blogs onsite Then outreach articles/some PR that doesn't go against Google guidelines offsite. My struggle with the onsite content/blogs we produce is we have no real social media plan/manager so my content outreach always seems hampered by this. I've tried taking on some of the social stuff, but this ends up being too much for just me to do. I wondered if there were any other SEOs who face this issue and who have found some good solutions? I'm stuck in a bit of a rut and can't seem to effectively push forward with outreach/content writing. Thank you Becky

What is the best: one big site or several small ones?
Sometimes I've felt that my choice was incorrect. I know taht with a big amount of content on the same subject a bigger one is better: it’s easier to maintain, and a big number of pages is good for Google ranking, but when you have many small sites, each one focusing on a totally different subject, you can crosslink them and this will improve your rankings. Furthermore, many small sites allow you to focus in specific niches and help you rank better for different keywords. So, what is the best choice?

Google Freshness Update & Ecommerce Site Strategies
Just curious what other ecommerce SEO's are doing to battle fresh content. We've been having our clients work on internal blogs, adding articles one click away from landing pages, and implement product reviews when possible but I don't know that it's enough. Our bigger customers have landing pages (usually category pages) with very competitive keywords. So my main issue is what to do with fresh content on category pages.. I've toyed with the idea of having the landing page content re written every now and then. We used to use a blog parser to bring snippits of comments from the blog into landing pages but I believe that to be a problem with duplicate content. News snippits from other sites don't seem beneficial either. Anyone have any other ideas?
