Alt tag Yoast Seo

Hi @obirama

Review Your Alt Tags:

• Double-check the spelling and capitalization:?Ensure your keyword phrase is spelled correctly and matches the case used in Yoast’s analysis.
• Verify punctuation:?Sometimes special characters like hyphens or apostrophes can throw off Yoast’s analysis.?Use plain text with spaces to be safe.
• Confirm complete phrase:?Make sure the entire keyword phrase is present in the alt tag,?not just parts of it.

Check Yoast Settings:

• Adjust minimum keyword density: Try lowering the minimum keyword density requirement in Yoast’s settings. This will give you more flexibility with your alt tags while still considering keyword relevance.
• Exclude specific images:?If certain images don’t directly relate to your main keyword phrase,?you can exclude them from Yoast’s analysis through the “Advanced” settings in the image block.

Hope that helps. Kindly note there are other suggestions as well, not limited to the above.

I recommend asking at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/#new-post so the plugin’s / theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

Thank you Manuell and Steven.

I just noticed something strange.

When I click on “Edit with Elementor” and go to yoast, from the left menu, it says:

Image alt attribute: Out of 53 images on this page, 53 have the alt attribute with words from your keyword phrase or its synonyms. It’s a bit much. You should only enter the key phrase or its synonyms when they truly describe the image.

Instead when I click on “Edit page” and scroll down to the bottom of the page in the Yoast section, it says:

Image Keyphrase: The images on this page do not have alt attributes that contain at least half the words in your keyword phrase. Fix it!

Which one should I believe?
I know that repeating the key phrase for all those images is not correct but I wanted to try to see if he would have taken them that way.

However, I checked several times and the words are spelled correctly and I didn’t use punctuation. I also put the entire sentence in the alt tag (it’s only two words).

Regarding the last two tips on minimum density and exclusions, can I also do them with the free version of Yoast? Because I couldn’t find these settings..

You really should contact Yoast’s support about that as suggested.

There are currently 59,562 plugins in the free directory alone, we’re not experts in most of them.
