Alt text and titles provide descriptions of images assigned to products and collections.
Search engines index alt text and use it to return images for user queries. Alt text is also used when shoppers cannot view images on the web. For example, a blind shopper’s screen reader reads an image’s alt text when it reaches the image on a category page on your store.
A title is used as a tooltip, or hover text, when a shopper points to the image.
By default, Oracle Commerce Cloud uses a product or collection’s name for both the alt text and title text for all images assigned to that product or collection. You can edit the default alt text and title text on the product or collection’s Media tab.
Note: You can also add keywords, titles, and descriptions to products and collections. See Add metadata to products and collections for more information.
