All right. So the reason that you do all of this image optimization is so that you can add words captions, descriptions, the alternative text, so that Google knows what it's actually looking at. It doesn't add the current moment, but it will as deep learning robotics and AI come into fruition. More publicly, should I say that there will be this ability then to identify what it's looking at until then it's relying on you to help it and then it kind of gathers its, you know, base of, Oh, these are things that look like chocolate or flowers. And I can assume that this is probably this or that Facebook's already have some of that technology as it can identify, you know, and YouTube even does it as well. Is this thing gory?
Is it family friendly? Is it a person? What ethnicity are they, you know, all types of things, just crazy amount of data. So at the moment, it's still relying on you though, to tell it. This is dark chocolate, it's liquid and it's pure. Or 100%, organic, whatever it is that keyword that you're using.
And while you use those words to help it find and then pull and say, Hey, you should rank for this because you know, people want to find more about this specific term. Having a Google sitemap for images is going to be even more beneficial, because what this ends up doing, and you have a Google XML sitemap normally, to index you know, here's all of the URLs on my website, so that way Google knows to crawl every single one of them, gather data from it and make sure that this is something that should or shouldn't rank, and obviously, the more that you submit, the more likely you are to get ranked. The more that you get ranked, the higher you are, or more likely you are to get ranked higher, so on and so forth. So you want to do the exact same thing for your images as well and a lot of people miss out on this, and you can do and get a plugin.
Of course, it's not been maintenance, but it really doesn't need to be it's a pretty simple thing in terms of just Gather all the images from everything that has it jpg, GIF, PNG, you know all those things, gather them together, see what folders they are in, and then boom, create that XML sitemap and have it added to the Google XML sitemap. So now checks that image sitemap. That's I'm just explaining the things that go on behind the scenes, but you don't need to worry about this. Just install it boom and done. If not, you need to do it manually for yourself or you don't have a plugin for maybe Magento or whatever content management system CMS that you're using. Go into, and just look, you can either go to Angel digital marketing, they may not always have it.
Google Image sitemap generator. All right, once you enter that into Google, probably like 510 different websites that all do this thing for free, are going to come up. So you just enter in your URL, you know, Zack dash miller.com and I'm going to generate an image sitemap. And you know, I have a little bit more to do. Okay, here at all. Boom.
So once I have that, copy, paste, save, and I'm done. Or you can just hand this as a task, you can go over to fiverr.com. Or if you already have a web designer or coder, you can simply hire them and tell them to do this for you, if you have, you know, a website like that, or you can just come in here and for five bucks, hire someone to do it for you, and they'll get it done. And, you know, maybe you can do some other cool stuff as well. So you can just say, you know, HTML coder, or, you know, website, designer, a million other things. And there's so much that you can hire inside for just five bucks.
It's kind of crazy. I love this website. So with that being said, a sitemap for images is necessary. That makes sure that Google finds every single one of those little images that you have even the variations and the file size differences. And that all gives you extra SEO benefits.
