Alt Text, explained in plain English

Alt text serves accessibility first — describing the image to visitors who can’t see it — and SEO second, since crawlers can’t see images either. Good alt text is specific and natural: “Marketing team reviewing a content calendar on a laptop” beats “image1.png” or keyword-stuffed nonsense. Every image Content Craft AI generates ships with AI-written, SEO-aware alt text.
