SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Images often hurt SEO and page speed through missing alt text, oversized files, outdated formats, and missing metadata, and manually auditing every image on a site is slow and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Image SEO Audit: Checks alt text quality, file sizes against tiered thresholds, formats (WebP/AVIF), responsive srcset, lazy loading methods, CLS-preventing dimensions, and CDN usage, then outputs a prioritized optimization list. - Image SERP Analysis: Uses the DataForSEO MCP to cross-reference on-page images with Google Images rankings, revealing competitor alt text patterns and format distribution. - File Optimization Pipeline: Converts images to WebP/AVIF with cwebp, ImageMagick, or FFmpeg, generates responsive variants, and injects IPTC/XMP metadata including the DigitalSourceType label required by Google Merchant Center for AI-generated product images. - Use Case: Run an audit on a product page, discover 12 images missing alt text and 3 oversized hero images, then batch-convert them to WebP with preserved metadata and generate the correct <picture> markup. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run an image SEO audit on a specific page URL and list the prioritized fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about seo-images

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit images on a webpage for SEO issues?▼

Run the image audit against a page URL to check alt text presence and quality, file sizes against tiered thresholds, formats, responsive srcset, lazy loading, and dimension attributes. The output is a summary table plus a prioritized optimization list sorted by estimated size savings.

How to convert images to WebP with metadata preserved?▼

Use cwebp with the -metadata all flag, for example cwebp -q 82 -metadata all input.jpg -o output.webp. If cwebp is unavailable, ImageMagick convert or FFmpeg serve as fallbacks, and exiftool verifies metadata survived the conversion.

Does Google require metadata labels for AI-generated product images?▼

Yes, Google Merchant Center requires IPTC DigitalSourceType metadata such as trainedAlgorithmicMedia on AI-generated product imagery, and feeds missing it can be disapproved. Inject it with exiftool or the included iptc_ai_label.py script; it is a policy requirement, not a ranking factor.

Should I lazy-load my hero or LCP image?▼

No, lazy-loading above-the-fold LCP images directly harms Largest Contentful Paint scores. Reserve loading="lazy" for below-fold images, and add fetchpriority="high" to the hero image to prioritize its download.

What happens if exiftool or cwebp is not installed?▼

The skill falls back to ImageMagick for metadata handling and to ImageMagick or FFmpeg for WebP conversion. It recommends installing libimage-exiftool-perl and webp packages for full functionality.

Does IPTC keyword metadata improve Google Images rankings?▼

No, Google ignores IPTC keywords and EXIF camera data for ranking. Alt text, descriptive filenames, and page context are the ranking factors; IPTC Creator and Copyright only affect display and attribution in Google Images.
