Cartoon Nick manages 44 WordPress sites, which means Cartoon Nick has seen roughly 40,000 images with the alt text "IMG_4471.jpg." Alt text is an accessibility requirement, an image SEO signal, and one of the most skipped tasks in web design. AI fixes it in an afternoon.
AI at Work Tip #75: Alt text for every image, in bulk
Most modern SEO plugins (AIOSEO, Rank Math, and others) now have an AI alt text feature that reads the image and writes the description. If yours does, run it on the whole media library and then fix the ten that matter most by hand. If yours does not, export a list of image URLs and paste them 20 at a time:
For each image URL below, write alt text under 125 characters that describes what is literally in the image for someone who cannot see it. Include the business name or location only when it is actually visible in the image. No "image of," no keyword stuffing, no marketing language. Return a two-column table: URL, alt text.Then paste back in. The plugin route is faster. The manual route is for the 200-image site you inherited.
AI at Work Tip #76: FAQ schema from the pages you already have
FAQ rich results are still one of the easiest ways to take up more space in search. You do not need to write new FAQs. Your service pages already answer questions, just not in question form.
Here is the text of my [service] page: [paste]. Write 5 FAQs a real customer in [city] would type into Google about this service, using only facts stated on the page. Answers under 50 words each, plain English. Then output the same 5 FAQs as valid FAQPage JSON-LD schema I can paste into the page.Paste the JSON-LD into your SEO plugin's schema box or a custom HTML block. Validate it with Google's Rich Results Test. Done.
What's hot right now
Google's AI Overviews and the assistant-style answers in ChatGPT and Perplexity pull FAQ-formatted content disproportionately, because a question and a short answer is exactly the shape they want to quote. FAQ schema is no longer just for rich snippets. It is how you get quoted by the machines your customers are asking.
Where your web guy fits in
Alt text and schema are two of about forty items on the technical SEO checklist I run on every site. They are the two you can do yourself. The other thirty-eight are why the SEO audits at webguynick.com exist.
