This video was really helpful, thank you! I have a question about the best way to rename images for SEO optimisation; Should you rename all of your images with different names or can you upload different photos to your website with the same name? Thanks,
You can upload images with the same name with no issue but even just for file organisation on your computer giving them unique (if not similar) names would be ideal! Though there are definitely a few images around our site that are less important that have Big Cat Creative-1, Big Cat Creative-2 etc 😂. So I would pick and choose what's most important, I imagine best practise is naming them all unique and super specific names, but that's not always possible/necessary.
This is probably a very naive question. I used to do quite a bit of print graphic design, and a lot of it is black and white. For example, print ads for newspapers or black-and-white publications. When preparing these images for the web-specifically for a Squarespace website-do I need to treat them any differently than I would treat a color image exported from Illustrator or InDesign? Thanks for your helpful tutorials.
I don't believe so! As long as you're happy with the way it displays after saved, as what you see if what you will get - though every screen will display things slightly differently which is something you just have to accept in web application.
Another great video! My question is about file names. In Lightroom, we can add keyword tags to our pictures. For example, I have a photo of Tokyo Tower so I use Tokyo Tower as a tag. Should I rename the file to Tokyo Tower as well? I've been worrying about this as might Google view this as keyword stuffing. Might it be redundant? Or does the name need to be used in both places? If have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them. Thank you as always :)
Hey! I'm not sure how the tags work with Lightroom. Are they translated to use on the internet/read by search engines, or are they just used to organise within Lightroom? This is something to look into as then you don't have to worry about doubling up. If you're worried about keyword stuffing, then try to use different descriptions, though I don't think they'd flag you on this for image titles as they like you to be specific with those.
I can't tell you for sure, but I've never added SEO descriptions in lightroom or Photoshop. I just do the filename and then do the description in Squarespace. I imagine this feature is really helpful if you're using a web building platform that doesn't let you add the SEO description in like Squarespace does. It probably wouldn't hurt to do all 3 though :)
A description and keywords and even copyright info can all be added in the save for web section of photoshop.
Hugely grateful for your videos. So relative to where I'm at and so easy to follow! thanks 🙂
Thank you for the information!

Is there any difference in effectiveness in adding the SEO descriptors in Lightroom/Photoshop vs. the item description option in Squarespace?
