It is Important to optimize the images you include as part of your blog post. Images are not naturally search-engine friendly because search engines use algorithms that can only scan text-based information. Search engines don’t know anything about images other than what you tell them.
It can also be a source of traffic to your blog as people might search for your images and search engines will direct them the particular post where the image is.
These are 3 Ways to Create a search engine friendly image on your blog posts.

The Red colored texts shows how the “alt” tag should be placed.
#2. Image Name:
