AltPaca ‑ Auto Alt Text

Rank Higher in Google Image Search Results

Search engines are getting smarter every day, using AI to figure out what objects are present in the images they encounter, but the technology is still flawed, often mislabelling objects, or missing important keywords and properties of the products you sell.

If you want to make sure that your images get ranked high for the most relevant keywords and that Google knows exactly what product is in each of your images, the best solution is to have an alt text (also known as alt tags or alt attribute) completed for each image in your store.

This way, potential customers can find your products through Google Image Search, your overall store SEO improves, and people with visual impairments who rely on alt texts can still shop with you.

Let AltPaca Do The Work For You

But manually typing descriptions for each image you upload can take a lot of time and it can be a boring, mind-numbing task, especially if you have a large store, products with many variations, a continuously changing catalog, or dropshipping products getting uploaded to your store automatically. Your time is better spent on higher-level activities!

So why not let AltPaca do all the work for you?

All you have to do is choose an alt text format (or template) that you prefer, and then AltPaca will update the alt text of all your images in bulk, whether you have 10 images or 10,000. It literally takes only 2 clicks.

Alt Text Format Options

AltPaca includes 6 standard recommended templates that you can choose from if you're looking for a quick and easy setup.

Alternatively, if you have more specific needs, you can also create a custom format based on all of the following properties: product title, store name, brand/vendor, file name, SKU, variant name, tags, product handle, color, size, style, and material.

Fully Automated Image SEO

With the Worry-Free Auto Optimization option enabled, AltPaca will keep working in the background, keeping your alt texts up to date, both for existing products and new products you'll ever add in the future.

That means that all your images will always be optimized, without you doing anything aside from the initial setup - just choose your preferred format once, and then you'll never have to open the app again or worry about your alt texts.

No Coding Required

AltPaca works right out of the box - no coding required. You don't need to tweak your theme or edit any code. AltPaca detects all the images and updates the alt text for you. All you need to do is click 2 buttons and you're done.
