# Adding Alt tag for images

An alt tag, also known as "alt attribute" and "alt description" provides a text alternative for search engines. Adding alt tags to your product images can positively affect your website's SEO rankings.

To add alt tags: 

1. Open your Google Sheets

2. Create a column that will contain alt texts. 
Your column should be named the following way: **.alt.your-image-column-name**. For example, if your image column name is **Image1**, the alt tag column has to be named as **.alt.Image1**

And you're all done. The alt tags will be pulled automatically from your new column.
