Hey! I've been working on something that came from my own headache : Alt Text pptimization.

We all know it's critical for SEO rankings and accessibility, but when you're managing a store with hundreds of product images, creating meaningful, unique alt text becomes this endless task. I was spending 4+ hours weekly on alt text alone, and my organic image traffic was still terrible.

Here's what I learned works best for Shopify stores:

The secret formula: Image context + your brand voice + your target keywords + your preferences 

This approach helped me increase image-based organic traffic by 35% in 60 days and save 3-5 hours per week. Instead of generic descriptions, you get alt text that actually sounds like your brand and targets your specific keywords.

As an app developer, I built SEO HERO: AI Alt Text Generator to automate this exact process. It's currently helping 50+ Shopify stores improve their SEO rankings. If you're interested in testing this approach, I'm offering 500 free credits to the first 20 stores this month. You can find SEO HERO: AI Alt Text Generator on the Shopify App Store, or feel free to ask questions here in the thread.

Would love to hear what alt text strategies have worked for others!
