Hey everyone.
I audited 50+ Shopify stores recently and found something that surprised me. Most stores optimize alt text for product images but completely ignore blog photos, page banners, theme graphics, and manual uploads.
Here’s what I found:
-
Product images: 70% had decent alt text
-
Blog post images: 15% had any alt text
-
Page/banner images: 5% had alt text
-
Theme files/graphics: 0% had alt text
This means you miss 60-80% of your SEO opportunities. You also fail accessibility standards for most of your images.
The solution that works combines image context, content type, brand voice, and targeted keywords.
I’m an app developer. I realized existing tools only focus on products, so I built SEO HERO: AI Alt Text Generator to handle ALL image types in your store.
Product images. Blog post photos. Page banners and graphics. Theme files and manual uploads.
The difference? Instead of 30% coverage, you get 100% store accessibility compliance. You capture every possible SEO opportunity.
We help 50+ stores achieve complete image optimization. If you want to test this approach on your entire store, I’m offering 500 free credits to try it.
You can find SEO HERO: AI Alt Text Generator on the Shopify App Store.
What’s your biggest challenge with non-product image optimization? I’d love to hear your experiences.
