We were chuffed to have been chosen to host a talk on The Power of Product Screenshots in your Help Documentation at the Write the Docs Atlantic conference on September 12. It was a great couple of days learning all things software documentation with the passionate and engaging community that is Write the Docs. Thank you to everyone who took the time to listen to our talk and for all the thoughtful questions throughout.
Q. Does title attribute on images help with SEO? - Rik Goldman
Yes it does. However, up until this moment, ALT text has been and still is more important than title text for both accessibility and SEO. There is real SEO value up for grabs, at relatively low cost and, depending on the internal search you run, a real ability to increase your SERP quality by applying ALT text and the title attribute to your product screenshots.
