Introducing “Sites” from AltText.ai: Your Automated Alt Text Solution for Accessibility & SEO
Alt text isn’t just a minor add-on for your site’s images—it’s crucial for both web accessibility and search engine optimization. Yet manually writing alt text can be time-consuming, and many popular website platforms don’t offer easy ways to automate the process. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Sites, a beta feature from AltText.ai that makes generating high-quality alt text simpler than ever—no matter which platform you use.
Why Automated Alt Text Matters
Enhanced Accessibility
Staying on top of alt text requirements under guidelines like WCAG and ADA can be challenging—particularly for sites with large or frequently updated image libraries. Automated alt text generation helps enhance your compliance with these guidelines without devoting hours to manual updates.
SEO Advantages
Search engines rely on alt text to better interpret and index images. Providing accurate, descriptive alt text can lead to higher rankings, greater visibility, and more targeted visitors. Best of all, Sites injects alt text quickly enough that search engines recognize and index it—just like any other on-page content.
Simple Integration
No complicated plugins, no tinkering with backend APIs—just paste a lightweight HTML snippet into your website’s code, and Sites does the rest. Because it’s platform-agnostic, it works equally well to add AI-generated alt text descriptions in Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, and virtually any other CMS or custom-built site.
Introducing “Sites”: How It Works
- Copy our Snippet: In your AltText.ai dashboard, look under Account for Sites. Register your domain and copy the provided HTML/JavaScript snippet.
- Embed on Your Page: Paste the snippet into your site’s code—much like adding a tracking pixel. This lightweight script won’t slow down your pages.
- Automated Alt Text Generation: Once the snippet is live, our AI analyzes each image on your site and sends them to our servers to create high-quality alt text descriptions. These descriptions are then dynamically injected back into your HTML.
- Instant Benefits: The alt text becomes visible to screen readers and search engines immediately, boosting your site’s inclusivity and SEO potential right away.
Key Benefits of “Sites”
- Platform-Agnostic: Works seamlessly with Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, and any other tech stack—no special APIs needed.
- Effortless Setup: In just a few steps, you can automate alt text without adding another plugin to your site.
- Enhanced Compliance: Assists you in your WCAG and ADA efforts with minimal work, even as you add new images.
- Better Organic Traffic: Since search engines can index your images more accurately, expect improved rankings and more engaged visitors.
- Continuous Optimization: As our AI models learn from millions of processed images, your alt text only gets better over time.
Why Now?
Accessibility and SEO are no longer optional. With increasing legal requirements for accessible digital content and fierce competition for organic search traffic, implementing automated alt text is a clear win. By embracing Sites, you’re not just strengthening accessibility—you’re expanding your audience and boosting your website’s discoverability.
