One is: if you have an image that you&#8217;ve made of some text that&#8217;s really beautiful, you can include some textual content there. You can sort of say, &#8216;alt,&#8217; you know, or the title &#8211; that sort of thing. So you can say, for an image, here&#8217;s some text to go along with that, and that can help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He goes on to say that one reason a site might be having more user interaction, time on site, conversions, etc., is because it&#8217;s prettier. &#8220;And we see that,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Better design can help people enjoy and use your site more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also suggests considering Google Web Fonts. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=lGIQasxoabM:S8j0IkuNucQ:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/lGIQasxoabM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google&#8217;s latest Webmaster Help video discusses Google&#8217;s need for text in indexing content.
