So i was wondering, what if there is hidden SEO involved in static images that have words in it? Googles AI may scan images for keywords and it may help in ways that are not well known.

im rambling :) let me know!

May or may not nobody knows for sure but of course they use it some way or another.
Just use google vision ai and you will see what Google understands about your photos. Same as alt tags it can help but it's not a guarantee for ranking.
 
Whether it helps for sure is uncertain ,however adding alt text must be a part of your on page strategy
 
I don't think it's going to help in Seo but i prefer always use alt text on every image
 
I am not sure about that, But try to use the alt text for your website. I am always using alt text for my all websites.
 
I don’t know about static image but @BassTrackerBoats had written about image seo and It makes sense too just search for that guide and read it
I was just trying to find it so I cant post it here, but I can't find it.

EDIT: Found another one that could be useful: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-to-optimize-your-images-for-maximum-seo-power-and-content-relevancy.988797/
 
Images help with SEO directly and indirectly. Users may search for your keyword in google images and if your image has the "keyword' is better than having the name "image1". Google algorithm will know that image is related to your keyword and will help with ranking too.
 
I think that is something you need to have done and completed. That is the must for static images. Just do not forget to take such keywords while calculating keyword density on the whole page.
 
No I don't think having the keyword over the image makes difference. I know a while ago there was some fuss about google images using AI to stop duplicate image ranking so if you had a stock photo of a camera before there would be 1000 people using the same image.. now apparently they stopped from happening and would just show one.

They said (google) or the article I read (can't remember) said that editing those kind of images would make no difference due to the AI being able to detect them..

Well I've used similar images to everyone else and all I done was include my brand logo in the bottom corner of the image and image search I rank 1 for nearly all my images. I don't know if you want to read something into that or not.. but I've found image search as a topic still very much trial and error at the mo..
 
Can Google technically read images and detect text in them? Yes
Can they afford to spend resources to do that on millions of pages daily? No, it's just not worth it. At least now.
 
One of the most important things image alt text can do for you is turn your images into hyperlinked search results -- giving your website yet another way to receive organic visitors. And most of the SEO tools still require them.
 
Important for Seo : 1/ Keyword(s) in Alt 2/ Replace Name of Photos Ex: Random123456.jpg by youcanseeinmyphoto.jpg
 
Yes ofcourse,
it does , that's what a part of SEO in offpage side generally we call it as image submission to take part of our site ranking
