dejanseo · x · 2026-10-31
SEO firm DEJAN published a case study on Google Store's Pixel Watch 5 page, which has 109 images: 47 had no alt text, some carried placeholders like "Aria Label 2", and one Stephen Curry portrait was described as a different image entirely.
- Using their Image Optimizer page scan, a single AI call first classifies images (main content vs menus/icons/badges), then writes alt text for images missing it
- Across the 95 images reported, average alt-text-to-image match rose from 30% to 84%
- Main content images jumped from 2% to 93%
- The full scan is public, showing every image's old and new alt text and both scores
