Does image alt text help AI recommend you?

Alt text won't single-handedly make an assistant name you, but it's a small, cheap signal that quietly helps. AI models read text, not pixels, so a descriptive alt attribute is often the only way a crawler understands what an image shows — a product, a location, a team, a result. Beyond accessibility (which matters on its own), good alt text adds context the model can use to resolve who you are and what you offer, and it strengthens the overall clarity of a page. Think of it as part of making every element of your site machine-readable: no single one moves the needle, but together they make you easy to understand and safe to cite.
